           Michelle Obama On Why Her Husband Has Been Trailing Hillary Clinton Among Women in Recent Polls:

"...       We are working hard to ensure to the women of America that Barack Obama is who we need.  Now, I can't answer sort of where women are at this time. You know, some women just feel like-- that it's a woman's turn.  And-- and I-- people have said that to me that they, you know, that they just feel like, you know, it's Hillary's turn.  That, I reject because democracy isn't supposed to be about whose turn it is."
