This is the most refreshing interview I've ever seen coming from a "politician" - Michelle Obama is straight forward, blunt, and unflappable; she works hard at examining her life, the life of her family, and the lives of Americans. Self reflection is a very rare commodity and is desperately needed in the White House!!! Go Barack and Michelle!!!
Can't Michelle be president? She's just so... level-headed. "Politics is a game and a sport." Why can't the candidates admit the same...not in a flippant way, but in a very serious and genuine way.
Thank you Michelle for supporting the idea of Barack's candidacy!! (wow...I felt ok with the first name basis, they really do have a way of making you feel like a part of the family) Yay for the idea of a nation wide family! If I weren't already grown, I'd want to grow up to be like her. You are a true inspiration to all little girls.
i like that she comes across as a real person, i feel like i know lots of women just like her. she's smart, she works hard, she has a wonderful family, all while not letting her own goals get pushed off the family agenda.
People over 18-- remember! You're not really supporting Obama if you don't make the effort to actually vote for him in your state primaries! If you're in one of the 24 states that are having primaries on the 5th, make sure you go and support him! We really need him.
few of Michelle's last words sums it up when she says, "I don't want [critiquing HRC] to be the story. This is about who Barack is. Good job Michelle, Obama '08!
I watched this last night and I think she's great and right to the point. I really liked what she said about people in Iowa not asking, "what's it like to be a black woman? :O". She's very quick witted like her husband. I also respect her ability to balance work and motherhood. It reminds me of MY mom. ♥
What I greatly like and respect about her is that she doesn't ascribe to the mindless mentality that most of the candidates subscribe to, where they pretend as though they will inevitably win. She knows it will be hard, and she knows it will be close, and she's all the more determined for it. Michelle Obama, I applaud you
I am impressed by this interview: Michelle Obama is clearly not only highly intelligent but extremely grounded and possesses a sense of what is really important. From this i'view I'd guess she'd make an excellent first lady, and also do a lot for the cause of women.
Mrs. Obama, I had given up on politics in this country. Thank you so much for standing behind and supporting Mr Obama as here works to rebuild this nation and restore our place of honor and hope for the world.
Michelle is definitely the democratic spouse I'd prefer to see in the White House (as opposed to that other one). She, along with Barack, will bring back the dignity that has been absent there for so long. There is no pretense in this woman. What you see is what you get (and what I see is excellence and authenticity).
I think it is a fact, in my view. Just campaigning has made positive changes in people. Amazing man. I do like Michelle, she does not consider herself better than me.
The interviewer tried too hard...she mistaken Michelle for a shallow woman... Michelle has what it takes to be a First Lady she has the whole package...successful,intelligent,highly educated knows how to discern...GO OBAMA..
I find her comments around the 3:00-3:31 mark interesting as she talks about how the press keep saying Barack won't get it together, yet he has. The press also said the same about McCain, yet it now seems obvious he will take the GOP. Are we finally seeing a backlash against the press on these things?
I'm not black, but I'm still voting for obama. I'm glad to see that many people are voting not based on race but based on what these candidates are able to do and their values.
Michelle Obama is so intelligent! I can see why Barack said if he had to run against her he'd lose. I wish she was more front and center, and kudos for her for recognizing a key issue in this country, work_life balance. Soledad O'brien is quite cute but she is such an airhead.
you right look at all the young people who never vote or cared about politics now come out and support him he is being modest and say its not just him thats bringing out all the new votes but it is ALL him thats inspiring and getting out the young people who never vote or cared about politics before and im one of those people im voting for the first time on Tuesday and ill be seeing him in Hartford CT on monday OBAMA 08'
I was undecided until i watched the debate on thursday and the major difference that i saw was in their style of leadership. Obama presents a view of governing that is inclusive and relies on Americans to work with their government. By contrast, Hillary promotes a self-centered governing style that drives home what she would do as president. She has moved from her position as first lady that it "takes a village" to solve problems to it takes only Hillary (and maybe Bill)
Clearly this young lady, who will soon be FIRST LADY of the United States of America, is truthful and honest--Isn't this truly what we need BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE? Wow!
Wow,I love the Obama's. A breathe of fresh air in a world that has been polluted by lack morals & common sense. He is a going to be a sensible leader of the free world & I truely hope for hope!!! Please open your eyes America & do the right thing for all of us. OBAMA 08' Yes we can
She is so self centered. Sorry but if you want to be a first lady, you have to sacrifice family a little bit just like anybody else.She still has to work for the people. Did not hear that.
So well spoken and intelligent...I've come to admire this lady.
Behind every great man is a greater woman
"If you want to change it, you can't become a part of it."
This is a great conversation to listen to.
Wow, she's great. What a down to earth, straightforward woman. She'll make a great 1st Lady!
She is a classy, intelligent, informed woman. She is impressive.
I'll be there, and it will be the proudest, most sincere vote I've ever cast.
She's so strong and smart and supportive....its a beautiful thing
I love her honesty!.. she is so real and down to earth.. i love that.
can you also please post the rest of the interview?
I love hearing her talk about barack.

THIS is a LADY!!! No smut, no slander. The interviewer could learn a lesson from her.
I love her honesty.
"What I do in my life defines me." -Michelle Obama.
Very true
Michelle seems to be an incredible person.
That woman rocks my socks.
She and Barack are equally brilliant and beautiful people. She's going to be a great first lady!
Well done Michelle. I like the way you held your poise. You will be a great "First Lady"
Classy Classy Classy lady. Her values are exactly what I want in a first lady -- its all about the family and balance. Go Girl.
Obama'08
i listen to her and i just can say....omg she is so honest in her answers...doesnt hesitate and makes eye contact. she would be a great first lady
Soledad and Michelle are two great reasons why I am proud to be BLACK and AMERICAN.
Can't Michelle be president? She's just so... level-headed.
"Politics is a game and a sport." Why can't the candidates admit the same...not in a flippant way, but in a very serious and genuine way.
she is simply amazing!!!! I love her!
Thank you Michelle for supporting the idea of Barack's candidacy!!

She is so honest. Brilliant!
According to Wikipedia, Soledad O'Brien is Australian, Irish and Afro-Cuban.
Michelle Obama is Fantastic!
So cool.
i like that she comes across as a real person, i feel like i know lots of women just like her. she's smart, she works hard, she has a wonderful family, all while not letting her own goals get pushed off the family agenda.

I love her! She just straight up real, no bullshit. Love it.

Good job Michelle,
Obama '08!

Nice lady....still for Ron Paul, but the Obamas are a class act.
What I greatly like and respect about her is that she doesn't ascribe to the mindless mentality that most of the candidates subscribe to, where they pretend as though they will inevitably win. She knows it will be hard, and she knows it will be close, and she's all the more determined for it.
Michelle Obama, I applaud you
she is a wise woman!
intelligent, beautiful, honest, sensible, elegant. i can't wait till she's our First Lady.
I am impressed by this interview: Michelle Obama is clearly not only highly intelligent but extremely grounded and possesses a sense of what is really important. From this i'view I'd guess she'd make an excellent first lady, and also do a lot for the cause of women.
Mrs. Obama, I had given up on politics in this country. Thank you so much for standing behind and supporting Mr Obama as here works to rebuild this nation and restore our place of honor and hope for the world.
We need this woman to be First Lady. She ist honest and truthful. She is great! People, give your best to support Obama. Good Luck to the world.
yes !!!
Michelle is definitely the democratic spouse I'd prefer to see in the White House (as opposed to that other one). She, along with Barack, will bring back the dignity that has been absent there for so long. There is no pretense in this woman. What you see is what you get (and what I see is excellence and authenticity).
I think you may be projecting something that isn't there, Soledad's mom is black (Cuban) and her father is Irish-Australian.
Thank God for women like that
i think she will make a fine first lady
wow. that was realy head on just like her husband. wonderfull
perfect first lady!
WOW that is a very up front woman. Michelle Obama never fails to speak clearly, I agree 100% with her.
I think it is a fact, in my view. Just campaigning has made positive changes in people. Amazing man. I do like Michelle, she does not consider herself better than me.
Again like Obama, She is very sincere.
O'Briem is such an airhead. Mrs Obama handled herself with professional class & poise.
OBAMA 08!
The interviewer tried too hard...she mistaken Michelle for a shallow woman... Michelle has what it takes to be a First Lady she has the whole package...successful,intelligent,highly educated knows how to discern...GO OBAMA..
intelligent woman -- special person
There are no journalists any more. They are all either entertainment reporters or fight promoters.
wow, what an awesome lady.
Great interview Michelle!!
i love her! she is so intelligent and beautiful

CNN interviewer seems like a real jerk. Glad to see Michelle has so much class.
I LOVE Michelle
Classy lady.
Michelle Obama is as intelligent as her spouse.
She'll be a great first lady.

God Damn!! She is very smart! I think i could support her for First Female president..after Obama's term in office.
"No More Drama !! Vote Obama !!!"
I HATE the interviewer, you can see right through her, she is trying so hard to make her mess up.
She's spectacular...
WE GOTTA VOTE PPL WE GOTTA VOTE
I'm Canadian but god damnit I hope for the sake of the planet, I hope obama wins.
Michelle Obama is intelligent, beautiful, and down to earth. She'll make a phenomenal first lady!
