| ^^Well, here you go: Obama's wife joins push to court working class Quote:
INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - If Michelle Obama had her way, her husband Barack would have become a teacher, a writer, a singer, a dancer -- anything but a politician with the chance to make history as the first black U.S. president.
She described to an audience in Indianapolis how they struggled -- like any other young couple in Middle America -- to raise two children and pay off debts.
"We are still so close to the lives that most Americans are living," she said. "And I don't know about you but for most of my lifetime, I've felt disconnected from Washington."

"We're a young couple with small kids with all the challenges and the emotions and the stresses that come with raising kids, like being a working mom," said Michelle Obama, 44, who is on leave from her job as hospital administrator and now divides her time between campaigning and raising the couple's two daughters -- Sasha, 6, and Malia, 9.
Though she is a Harvard-trained lawyer like her 46-year-old husband, she said the couple was not far from the years of paying off student loans and working to "keep up with bills."
