First lady: President Obama had 'phenomenal year'

The Associated Press
Tuesday, February 9, 2010; 7:33 AM


WASHINGTON -- First lady Michelle Obama says President Barack Obama "has done a phenomenal job," but that people have a right to criticize him.

In an interview broadcast Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," she said getting things accomplished in heavily politicized Washington is "a constant struggle."

She said her husband has been staying on course, "looking his critics in the eye." The first lady added that he understands people are still suffering amid high unemployment. She also said, "Every day our president wakes up serious and focused and committed to pushing this stuff through. We had hoped that more progress would have been made." Mrs. Obama said the president remains open to "the possibility of partnership" with his political foes.

1. I really love Michelle. She has made a wonderful First Lady.
I especially like her love of children. I am studying to be a preschool teacher so I understand that love. :)

2. I think she's proven herself to be a great First Lady, and I love the issues
she's tackling, from kids to gardens to military families. She's true blue, like her hubby, both with hearts in the right place (notice a Valentines Day theme here?:P )

3. Yes, they are both genuine people, regardless of what one thinks of them politically.

7. This country is fortunate in 2008 to have elected such dedicated
people to turning around the bushcheney nightmare years.

That is the freaking bottom line.
