Obama bemoans wife being dragged into politics

Tools

by Laura Matovina

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says one of the toughest parts about being president is that his wife has been dragged into the "political realm."

Obama was responding to a question about how he felt when Michelle Obama said she has been inaccurately portrayed as an "angry black woman." While the president did not address that comment specifically, he says his wife is as good a first lady as anyone could imagine, and says he believes Americans have a positive impression of her.

Obama also says the first lady is ready for another four years in the White House, despite her initial reservations about coming to Washington.

The president spoke in an interview with NBC.

WARNING TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED INFORMATION C.B.S. is proudly owned and operated by a gay-illegal-abortion activist organization secretly known as DEMOCANTZ aka LIBTARDS aka Dumbocrats etc, etc. This dangerous organization is trying to take over the world. Their leader, Barrrakk Ilbombya, is plotting to destroy America. "Obamination" is what they call their evil plot. Democants know law biding people who graduate, work, and earn what they own are not stupid enough to fall for their trickery. However, their is a large population of people who are. Most are coming from the Northside of Milwaukee, the Country of Mexico, and the State of Illinois. Some are inbred and yet others may have taken too many drugs. Beware of promises of free money and healthcare. If you encounter one of the for-said individuals: Approach with caution (most are felons and loaded with diseases including AIDS). These people will ask for your help then rob you blind.
