Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama, is already shaping up as an outspoken political wife, although it's yet to be determined whether she's an asset or a liability to her husband's campaign. Last week, during a speech, she praised her husband's family values and then said, "If you can't run your own house, you can't run the White House." The remark was interpreted by some -- including in the Sun Times -- as a veiled attack on the Clintons, and the personal problems that dogged them for years before leaking into their political lives.
