Michelle Obama would make a great first lady. By allowing her husband to run for president, she's making a big sacrifice. We thank her for sharing Obama with the rest of the country.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Backstage, behind the floodlights, moments before he gave the 2004 Democratic convention keynote address that would launch his career into the national stratosphere, Barack Obama made a confession to his wife, Michelle.
His stomach was a bit queasy.
Michelle responded by hugging her husband tight and looking him straight in the eye, Obama recalls in his book, The Audacity of Hope.
"Just don't screw it up, Buddy!'' Michelle said, transforming the tense moment into one of shared laughter.
The remark is classic Michelle Obama -- a woman who faces reality head-on with candor, humor and tenacity, who keeps her husband grounded, who keeps him real.
