The big mini-flap has been the story about First Lady Michelle Obama confronting a heckler — threatening to leave a fundraiser unless she was allowed to deliver her remarks.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says she handled it “brilliantly.” Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh basically accused Mrs. Obama of being arrogant, without quite saying it, in a rant filled with sarcasm suggesting her handling of it was a window into her soul and that the heckler didn’t realize the Obamas didn’t care about her.
CNN now has “exclusive images” via video that shows most of the incident:
