White House press secretary Jay Carney had high praise for the way Michelle Obama handled her confrontation with a gay-rights activist at a fundraiser on Tuesday night. After being heckled, the first lady stepped down from the lectern and said, “Listen to me, or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”
“It’s my personal opinion that she handled it brilliantly,” Carney said at today’s press briefing. He hadn’t heard from the president what he thought about his wife’s episode.
