WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First lady Michelle Obama vowed Monday to "take no prisoners" as she and her husband launch an unprecedented bid for Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid.
"It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile at a roundtable discussion with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.
She compared the intense lobbying effort to the 2008 presidential campaign, noting that in the election campaign, a lot of voters made their decision in the final days. She said members of the International Olympic Committee may do the same.

Now maybe Hussein can do some thinking about our soldiers in Afghanistan.
Now if this were the Bush family, the CNN story would show that...then go on to interview eight or nine homeless or jobless folks in urban areas...and emphasize how their lives have not and will not change while the President and his wife puff themselves up.
This is going to be such a boondoggle
The Chicacommie olympics after the Chinacommie olympics?
So all the world’s problems have been solved? Iran has been neutralized? The depression/recession is over? Unemployment is back down to 5%? No more bailouts or forclosures? Why else would Dear Leader and Aunt Esther feel that they could spare the time to fly (on our dime) to Copenhagen as lobbyists for Boss Daley? Can you imagine the hue and cry if President Bush had done the same thing for Dallas/Fort Worth or Houston? WTF?!
I guess Vet. Either that or Hussein and his woman don’t give a damn.
I’m guessin’ the second one.
Taking no prisoners prevents Gitmo situations.
Maybe she should advise Barry that this attitude could win Afghanistan.
listen, michelle.
american troops are dying in afghanistan to defend our freedoms that people like you would love to see taken away and your stupid metaphor for your childish little game is both insensitive to the families of those troops and just plain stupid.
it's no fun watching you playing 'first lady' while the phony idiot youre married to plays 'president'.
more people are catching on to your act so enjoy it while you can
She ain’t gonna get it on her looks.
Shouldn’t the first lady have to submit to gender testing before she competes in battle?
The fix is in.
Not so sure the fix is in. So far the world dosnt seem all that impressed with Obama the President.
They sucked up to Obama the Candidate, but his Presidency has lost it’s sparkle.
She should see a vet, get her shots, before she departs.
lol
“It’s a battle — we’re going to win — take no prisoners,”
...I feel so much safer knowing I have these 2 in there battling it out with my interests in mind! ~TOTAL SARC!
It sure would be pretty embarrassing if they didn't get it after all this a-list star power goes over and whores for the corrupt powers in Chicago.
yeah, the ‘rats are not ones to take risks. they’re sissies like that. their sugar daddies have made the necessary phone calls.
i’ll be stuned if chicago doesn’t get it.
and oh, look, it’ll happen just in time for the weekend talk shows to praise hussein.
I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to go over like a lead balloon in Europe and will backfire completely. As much as they “claim” to like to Obamas, I haven’t seen very much that indicates that Europeans are willing to lay down and let them walk all over them.
In fact, I would be seriously surprised if they weren’t getting more than a bit tired of him and his loud-mouthed uncouth wife.
When it comes to class, Michelle is right up there with Suha Arafat, Winnie Mandela and Grace Mugabe.
Seriously. Doesn’t the Obama Chicago Olympic tag-team have a bit of the same air to it as Mugabe and his wife on one of their famous European diplomatic summits cum shopping sprees?
It makes me feel better for the state of the world that the President feels free to pursue this boondoggle.
“I adore her but I said, ‘You know, I’m going to hug you now and then I’m going after you in Copenhagen,’ “ Mrs. Obama recalled with a laugh. “And she said, ‘You too.’ So gloves are off.”
God help us from these people. Today I sell all my stocks.
