Every woman that I know, regardless of race, education, income, background, political affiliation, is struggling to keep her head above water. We try to convince ourselves that somehow doing it all is a badge of honor, but for many of us it is a necessity and we have to be very careful not to lose ourselves in the process. More often than not, we as women, are the primary caretakers in our households, scheduling babysitters, planning play dates, keeping up with regular doctor’s appointments; this was my week last week, supervising homework, handing our discipline. Usually we are the ones in charge of keeping the household together. I know you men, I know that you guys try to do your part, but the reality is that we’re doing it, right? (laughter and applause) Laundry, cleaning, cooking, shopping, home repairs. You know Barack has my back, he’s right there with me, feels my pain, and all that. (laughter)

    This is really well-crafted political message. Michelle Obama's role in this phase of the election process is unlike that of any previous candidate's wife. Direct echoes of 'stand by your man' and 'baking cookies' from 1996 ... with a twist. Of the knife.

    i don't understand why you think it's well-crafted, jim. is it just that she's honest about the fact that men (including her husband) obviously do no housework?

    Both right. I can identify with what Michelle Obama says.
