Michelle Obama I think has been one of the most underrated assets of the Obama campaign. She has a clear command of her presence on any stage, and a very sincere compassion for people, even those who may disagree with her. Her role as a mother to her children is admirable as she truly does bring us a more human view of Barack Obama, and you can tell quite well that she adores her family. I am proud to hopefully in 9 days call her our next first lady.

So he's describing this to my mother. We're at the kitchen table. And Malia sort of overhears it. She's 10. And she says, 'You're going to be on all the TV?' She said, 'Are you going to interrupt my TV'...He said, 'No, we didn't buy time on Disney and Nick.' And she said, 'Oh, good.' And she got up and walked away. She was just like, 'Don't mess with my TV.'"
Asked about the controversy over the $150,000 in clothes purchased by the Republican National Committee for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Mrs. Obama said, " I try to be as empathetic -- I mean, especially a VP pick. It's like being shot out of a canon, and all of a sudden you're at the center of attention, and you want to look good."
That said, Michelle Obama distinguished herself and her husband from Gov. Palin, saying, "but our policy has always been whatever we buy for us, we buy, because, you know, that's just been the way we've run things. But, you know, it's -- you know, you're living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden, you're on the national stage, and everyone's looking."
Gotta love her humor!

This is our hope, for our kids, our parents, ourselves and those in the world.
Oh an as for that Joe Biden "gaffe" that McCain seems to think undoes everything that ever came out of his or Palin's mouths?
