Michelle Obama: 'Black Americans will wake up and get it'

David Edwards and Jason Rhyne
Published: Monday November 12, 2007



Sen. Hillary Clinton's lead among African Americans voters, who consistently favor the former first lady to Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) in presidential primary polling, is just a temporary phenomenon, according to Obama's wife, Michelle.

"First of all, I think that that's not going to hold," Mrs. Obama said of Clinton's current numbers in an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski. "I'm completely confident."

Acknowledging a certain reluctance in the African American community to back her husband for president, she said that support would come -- but it would take time.

"Black Americans will wake up and get it," Obama said. "But what we're dealing with in the black community is just the natural fear of possibility. When I look at my life, the stuff that we're seeing in these polls is played out my whole life: always been told by somebody that I'm not ready, you know, I can't do something, my scores weren't high enough."

7. She said that regarding Black people who like Obama but say they're scared to vote for him because

they don't think a Black person can win. It was in response to Mika's question where she told Michelle about a Black woman who said just that. Nice try.

16. Michelle Obama

is a voice of reason. I find her to be very impressive. She would serve this country well as First Lady.

[jenmito]

17. I agree...

and she's so down to earth.

[Tess99]

18. She's amazing!

Not only smart, but lovely and stylish. A fashion icon in the making. She's one of the smartest spouses out there, but she's the only one who can bring back real glamour and style to the white house. As a clothes horse, I'm praying for an Obama presidency! LOL. Love her!

[jenmito]

19. I just saw at least two women say she convinced them to vote for Obama.
