With the general election fight now well underway, First
Lady Michelle Obama jokingly offered her official endorsement tonight in a stop
by Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.”
“You are popular,” host Stephen Colbert noted to cheers from

than he is? Do you ever say, like, ‘hey, watch it or I might not campaign for
you.’”
“I might try that when I get home,” Mrs. Obama quipped.
Asked if she was prepared to endorse his candidacy, the
first lady eagerly offered her husband her full support.
“I am endorsing my husband Barack Obama. I think he will be
a phenomenal president — he has been a phenomenal president,” she said.
“He’s my man,” she added with a wry smile.
The first lady’s appearance on Colbert, her first since the
2008 campaign, was intended to promote the one-year anniversary of her “Joining
Forces” initiative, which honors and supports U.S. troops and their families.
