Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump attacked President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at a campaign stop, saying "We have a bunch of babies running our country ... they're losers," on Oct. 21 in Fletcher, N.C. (The Washington Post)Donald Trump offered a new justification on Friday for attacking Bill Clinton's indiscretions and Hillary Clinton's handling of them: Michelle Obama did it first. She’s the one that started it.”Trump then offered this as a justification for invoking the Clintons' personal problems. The fact is that the 2007 Michelle Obama statement Trump is referring to wasn't so clearly the dig at the Clintons that Trump would lead you to believe. The remark in question came during an August 2007 event at which Michelle Obama spoke in Chicago. Look, it's certainly possible that Michelle Obama was taking a veiled shot at the Clintons' rocky personal lives and providing her own family as a more attractive contrast to it.
