From Yahoo News:
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (Reuters) - Harvard-educated lawyer Michelle Obama says she never imagined herself in Council Bluffs, Iowa, pumping up a crowd of supporters on a hot August day
But the 43-year-old Chicago mother of two and former corporate lawyer has thrown herself into the campaign to get her husband Barack elected U.S. president in 2008, after years of keeping a low profile.
She says it was a hard decision.
"This wasn't an easy decision for us because we've got two beautiful little girls and we have a wonderful life, and everything was going fine," she told several hundred supporters this week in a school gymnasium here.
"And nothing would have been more disruptive than choosing to run for president of the United States."
Her deepening involvement in Obama's campaign comes as several other candidates' spouses take unusually high-profile, combative roles in the presidential race.
Michelle Obama has become increasingly passionate on the campaign trail, as she introduces her husband and in separate gatherings she has with supporters.
