  You are wrong about Michelle Obama. She was confronted with a surprise question on national TV, and I think a rather rude one (considering her husband was not only still running his campaign for the nomination but was winning and had an insurmountable delegate lead and the Clinton campaign had been going very negative on him, which is why the question was asked). The question was would she thinking about "working to support" Senator Clinton if she won the nomination. Michelle Obama responded, "Well, I would have to think about that."

  It is not often that the spouses of politicians campaign for other politicians, so I don't see anything wrong with her hesitancy. Also, she has very young daughters at home and she has been away from them quite a bit lately, as has their father! Since he would likely have agreed to campaign for Clinton, it is a ridiculous assumption that Michelle would also be expected to campaign for Clinton as well.

  I am very distressed that people have been spreading that rumor (are you really a Republican troll?). Please check your facts and stop it.

  Also, a question for all Clinton supporters who are adamant about voting for McCain since Clinton lost the nomination: If Clinton had won the Democratic nomination, who would her opponent have been? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MCCAIN! She, and you, would have been going after him like he's the devil to make sure she became president, but since she has now lost, you are going to support him, her antithesis in almost all things politic? It is truly a cult of personality if that is the conclusion you have come to.
