Came across this today- it may (or may not) put to rest the was-she-wasn’t-she married discussion:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/10/michelle-obama-talks-abou_n_111975.html

(Michelle said) His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.”

Don’t fail to note the Clinton parsing possibilities represented by the phrase “when she had him”.

(Michelle said) His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.”

Think she means when she had him after she was abandoned when the kid was less than a year old and divorced the sucker.

She was the classic single mother--abandoned with a kid less than a year old; divorcing the father.
