UPDATED: Michelle Obama extravaganza

Perhaps because Mother's Day is this weekend, but for some reason there is a mini-explosion of Michelle Obama stories today.

Whatever the reason, the Barack Obama campaign wants the to get the word out about the candidate's wife.

We have USA Today here, MSNBC/Washingon Post here, and the Chicago Sun-Times here.

Read if you must, but if you do, you'll learn about her independence and outspokenness.

A USA Today blog calls her "unscripted," but someone in the Obama camp must have shopped Michelle as a story.

UPDATE 9:51 PM CDT: The Times of London, what a coincidence, has a Michelle article for its Saturday edition.
