Michelle Disses Illinois

UPDATE (more below): Michelle and Barack on the Today Show. With video.

What this women will say to get elected. Michelle disses Illinois in Indiana. (Do Hoosiers hate us?) Taking her home state for granted. Audio at Hugh Hewitt.

Plus advice to the lovelorn Barack on Wright, Dohrn and Rezko. From our neighbor in Iowa. IowaHawk.

UPDATE: Chicago Tribune:
"You have been forced to basically turn your back on someone who had been a good friend for a long time," Marc Bilodeau, an Indianapolis economics professor and Obama supporter asked during a small-group event under a park pavilion. "I wonder if you could tell us how much a toll this takes on you."

Appearing at his side, Michelle Obama emphasized that her husband should not be judged by the words or actions of others.

"If anybody looks over the course of this year, you won't have a question about who Barack is," she said. "He has been very consistent, not just this year, but throughout his entire life."

Michelle Obama, who conducted several interviews during the day, also offered her familiar refrain about wishing he was in another line of work.

"I'm the cynic in the family. This is the hope guy," she said. "I've spent my life trying to convince him not to be a politician. It's like teach, write, sing, dance. I don't care what you do. Just don't do this. These people are mean."
Those meanie voters. But why did you two hang out with such mean guys for so long, hmm Michelle?
