Oh snap! Michelle Obama laid the smack down on Hillary today, saying:
“If you can’t run your own house, you can’t run the White House.”
Papers and blogs rushed to print the verbal slieght. Excpet it wasn’t that at all, and has been a part of her normal stump speech for a while. The full quote, in context:
That one of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values? Is he somebody that respects family? Is a good and decent person? So our view was that, if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House. So, so we’ve adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first, so while he’s traveling around, I do day trips. That means I get up in the morning, I get the girls ready, I get them off, I go and do trips, I’m home before bedtime. So the girls know that I was gone somewhere, but they don’t care. They just know that I was at home to tuck them in at night, and it keeps them grounded, and, and children, the children in our country have to know that they come first. And our girls do and that’s why we’re doing this. We’re in this race for not just our children, but all of our children.
The media needs to stop manufacturing fights. The candidates can do that all on their own.
