Michelle Obama On The Daily Show: “I’m Not Soft On Barack”

The first half Jon Stewart's interview with Michelle Obama last night was anything but relaxed. Jon asked Michelle about Bill Ayers, and she was adamant about sticking to the more pertinent economic issues. Michelle said she no longer reads newspapers because she wants to focus, and when Jon made a Sarah Palin-not-reading joke, Michelle barely cracked a smile. Of course, we can't even imagine what tremendous pressure she's under, so it's not Michelle's fault that she doesn't seem happy-go-lucky. However, in the second half of the interview, Michelle seemed much more at ease, and she spoke about her relationship with Barack. Jon observed that Michelle seems to look Barack objectively, so that she can give him advice as if she were an average voter. "If I don't believe you, I'm not voting for you buddy!" she joshed.
