Michelle Obama on Larry King

[Padfoot]

This was actually the first time I've ever heard her speak in any kind of depth and I was very impressed.  I think she gave some excellent answers with concern to women which is a really important group for Obama to start getting better margins in.  Although most of the questioning wasn't that hard hitting IMO, I think she gave some great answers to some of the thornier questions that were obviously aimed at getting a bit of a rise out of her.  For anyone who missed the interview here is the youtube link:

3:40 into the interview: "I never spent my life thinking "what could go wrong"

About 20 seconds later: I'm the kind of person who always thinks about what could go wrong

I found that a bit funny, but I guess it happens easily if you're not used to the media.

there will be a bunch of kids talking about what a b**ch Michelle Obama is, what a sleazy scumbag Barack is, and how some guy who just graduated from law school this year is the great hope of society.

I really don't see her running for office.

I don't think she will until after her kids are out of high school.  Then I think it might be a possibility.  First black governor of Illinois perhaps?
