Obama On His Wife: "She Doesn't Need To Be Retooled"

The Senator responds strongly to "very offensive" attacks on his wife in an interview with "Our World with Black Enterprise."

He tells Ed Gordon: "She's fabulous as she is," and will ensure "when she's attacked, she's defended."

Obama also responds to criticism over his rejection of public campaign financing: "I never said that I was definitely going to be in the public financing system."

he has to stop quibbling on the public financing. Say it is a flip and explain why... but stop trying to say you weren't ever going to do it.

He checked off the yes box but there was a stipulation. That he would aggressively pursue it. THe yes was to the pursuant of public financing not actually agreeing to it. The only thing that he can be faulted for is that his pursuant wasnt aggressive enough but thats a term thats subject to different interpretation. He left himself a loophole in these things so if you leave a loophole you have a right to take advantage of it.

I couldnt agree more there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Michelle. It angers when people imply there is something wrong with Michelle but the other wives are OK. I mean give me a break with this nonsense. She is fine the way she is people LOVE her the way she is.

Hmmm... Michelle gets retooled...

Right! All you Japanese animators reading this?

You know what to do.

[lindamiller49]

Of course she does NOT need to be retooled. She is a strong intelligent woman. Go Michelle.

Why does she always look like she has a dip in her mouth?

[Newboyx]

that is not very nice

[SecretSquirrel666]

It is simply an observation.

Most of us agree Barack! And many of us are too engaged to let these right-wing hatchet men turn Michelle into the 'militant angry black woman.' The more they try going that route the more they will fail.
