"I'm the cynic in the family," Michelle Obama tells a small gathering of supporters in Indianapolis. "This is the hope guy," she adds, pointing at her husband, Barack Obama.
The two are holding a small town hall meeting with about 70 invited supporters.
They met in an open air picnic pavilion in an Indianapolis park on a bright spring day.
The park is roped off, and about 50 uninvited supporters watched from a few hundred feet away.
Michelle Obama said she tried to talk her husband out of politics.
"These people are mean," she said to laughs.
"These people are mean," she said to laughs. WHO IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?

Anyone who's not a cynic by now hasn't been paying attention.

Well... I sure hope he has much more substance than the hope and rhetoric. Isn't that the crux of the problem with his campaign?

She was being kind...
Maybe she was talking about Hillary, she of testicular fortitude.
Maybe she was talking about all of the talking heads who wouldn't have a job if not for her husband.
Maybe she's right.
