Candidates' wives are supposed to sit cheerfully through their husbands' appearances.
Michelle Obama is somebody who really wants to take the high road.
I've learned that the best political reporters never make predictions!
It's not that Michelle Obama is trying to conceal her true feelings, it's that she does not want to be a political liability to her husband.
People who face too many demands - two careers, two children - often scale back somehow. The Obamas scaled up.
The Michelle Obama that her old friends remember, that people knew in Chicago, she was a really incisive social critic. She knew how to drive an argument home. People liked her both in the workplace and socially because she was so frank.
