Michelle Obama Responds to Palin Pokes

Michelle Obama defended her husband against some of his most vocal critics, saying President Obama did a "phenomenal" job this year and that change is a long-term process.

First lady Michelle Obama responds to Sarah Palin's recent biting remarks, saying her husband has done a "phenomenal job." I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course," Michelle Obama told Robin Roberts in an exclusive morning television interview on "Good Morning America." "That's what leadership is. But people have the right to criticize the President of the United States."

Michelle Obama's comments came in response to recent criticism from Sarah Palin who told TEA Party conventioneers in Nashville, Tenn., this weekend she wants to ask Obama supporters, "How is that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for you?"

"Rightfully, some people are frustrated, right?" Michelle Obama said. "But one of the things that Barack Obama said and continues to say is change isn't easy and it doesn't happen overnight. And it certainly doesn't happen in a year.

"It's not, he's not done yet. He's got more time," she said.

President Obama is trying to regain momentum on health care overhaul, but the push comes as Democrats seem dejected and Republicans, like Palin grow increasingly confident.

Thank you for that lesson in civics, Mrs. Obama.

Yep. He sure did. Too bad every single one of his plans were worse for America and fortunately every single one of them FAILED.

Tell Barry to try being a President of the United States of America for a change and then maybe he won't get beat up by a big bad girl next time. (Hi Mom!) ;0)

That “hopey and changey” thing must not be working out well for Michelle or she wouldn’t have to be defending her husband.

Hey Michele, negatory. Your husband is ruining this country and turning it into a socialist wasteland where there will be man against man just to survive. We choose to fight against that path and will obstruct every step of the way!

She’s an expert at showing off bad accessories, especially belts.

I'll give her a pass on this as I'd hope my wife would support me publicly as well. But if she really believes this she's insane.

The boy king is a mental midget unable to take any criticism. His years were
spent being coddled like a child and never learned to be a man that could
stand up for himself..
