Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, hit up The Colbert Report last night and got a nice surprise when the show’s host Stephen Colbert sang to her.
Colbert wasted no time to joke about the Bittergate controversy.
“Everybody knows you and your husband are elitists,” Colbert said. “Tell me about your elite upbringing on the South Side of Chicago. How many silver spoons in your mouth?”
Colbert laid it on thick, comparing Michelle Obama to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
“You’re a very good-looking lady,” he said.
Michelle Obama did make sure to make a couple points during the show and talked about why women voters are turning to her husband as well as ruling out her own run for presidency in the future.
“One Obama in the White House will be enough,” she said.The Colbert Report is filming in Philadelphia this week, as the state drums up for its April 22 primary. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter appeared Mr. Colbert’s program on Monday. Ed Rendell, governor of Pennsylvania, will appear later this week.
