The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told CNN's Larry King Wednesday that she is not offended by a much-publicized comment made towards her husband in Tuesday night's debate. ...

... "I think there are two conversations that have been going on throughout this whole election. There's the conversation that's been happening with the pundits … and then there's the conversation that's been happening on the ground," she said.

She said that Americans "right now are scared" and "nervous about the economy."

"They don't care about the back and forth between the candidates … They want real answers about how we're going to fix this economy and get the health care benefits on track so, you know, this is part of politics," she added. ..

1. The campaign is showing great discipline in staying on message this week!

[greyshade]

2. Yep. Michelle is classy. Reinforcing that Barack is above the fray.

5. Won't it be nice to have a President and First Lady with real class!

Obama just exudes class, and Michelle is wonderful.

Camelot II.

10. I keep thinking that. We're going to get a prez and first lady that really are Classy this time.

I love looking at pics of those two together. This is the first time I'm really happy about having a candidates face on my shirt even.

21. Classy is indefinable, but you know it when you see it.

There are people who live in tar-paper shacks who are temperate, gracious and civilized. And then there are people who live in White Houses who are trashy, bone-headed and provincial. I can't wait until Pickles and the Chimp go back to Redneckville and leave the rest of us alone...

4. Michelle Obama not offended by 'that one' comment

To hear her you would think she is more down to earth then either candidate. She is much more in touch with the people. A shame she cant run for the office.

[VeggieTart]

12. Why can't she run?

She was born in the U.S. and she's the same age as Scary Palin. Wouldn't it be neat if after Obama finished his presidency in 2016, she ran for Senator of Illinois, assuming she wasn't stepping on Democratic toes?

And she's a lot better than any of us because I was disgusted with McCain's complete lack of respect for Barack Obama.

6. Right on message. Staying above the fray. As they should.

It is OUR job to sling mud, and we do it gladly.

7. They are letting McSame hang himself. They are letting him and his words "sit out there"

she doesn't have to have an opinion about "that one", the American people have made up their minds and most feel that this was a very degrading, demeaning statement.

The Obamas have proven that they possess tremendous restraint and diligence in their ability to stay on message. They realize their mission and have their eyes squarely on the prize.

9. Yes, this campaign is very smart and they handle these things in

exactly the right way.

[Olney Blue]

8. She always says the right thing.

[AllyCat]

11. That's because she's a class act. What a great first lady she'll make.

[reger60]

13. First Lady?

I was just thinking that she would be a better vice presidential candidate than Sarah Palin. lol. Way to go Obama's -- be above that crap!

[AllyCat]

14. Frankly, just about any of us would be a better VP pick than Palin

[Doctor_J]

15. Good. that fire doesn't need any gas poured on it.

It's burning nicely by itself

[Telly Savalas]

16. Do you think she'll be offended by the "That Won" signs

folks will be waving on the evening of Nov. 4?

[JI7]

17. Michelle Obama is classy unlike Cindy McCain and that asshole Palin

19. Do you mean ReTodd Failin?

or Caribou Ken?

or Caribou Ken?

18. what a refreshing change

leaders whose focus is on us and not their own (rightful) outrage. Would a Con do the same? No way.
