Michelle Obama Declines to Take a Swipe at Sarah Palin

While First Lady Michelle Obama was on Good Morning America earlier today to talk about her campaign against childhood obesity, she was also asked about Sarah Palin’s unjustifiably smug mockery of President Obama supporters at the Tea Party Convention over the weekend (“How’s that hopey-changey stuff working out for ya?”). But instead of returning fire, the First Lady just stuck to the talking points about times being tough and change being difficult, etc., and made sure to mention that it’s okay to criticize the president. Also, she referred to her husband as “Barack Obama,” which we found kind of odd.
