‘Listen to your wife,’ Obama, so at least there’s one progressive in the White House

“Luckily it turns out there is one person who’s a progressive in the White House,” Cenk says. “Michelle Obama…has been fighting all along for them to do what they’d promised they would do.”

That’s based on Jodi Kantor’s new book “The Obamas,” and while many media outlets are focused on sensational sections of the account, Cenk is celebrating the idea that Michelle Obama’s focus on “moral imperatives” is being heard by the president, even if it helped accelerate Rahm Emanuel’s exit.

“You’re sending a message to the American people what kind of president you’re going to be,” Cenk says. “For God’s sake, listen to your wife.”
