let's talk about ann romney and michelle obama.a featured part of the presidency in the same way an ann romney is helping mitt romney. >> barack obama has not been using michelle in the same way that mitt has used ann. she goes out and talks to women and reports back what they care about. to some women i think that that was a little bit insulting. why can't you speak to us why do you have to send ann romney out as your messenger whereas michelle obama has her own message. i think that's a different way they're using their wife ambassadors. i don't know but it seems like mitt romney's way is working better at the moment. >> laura bassett, this is something that i'm sure everyone in the obama campaign is on edge. this was supposed to be the easy part of their campaign. we thank you for joining us on "the young turks." have a great weekend. when you come back, we ask you to join us on tyt on current because you're going to want to comment on this. >> the photo is everywhere making headlines and lighting up the airwaves. >> there has b

your husband is not ice cream, it's vegetables. >> who needs bill clinton when you have michelle obamaobama's most popular surrogate speaker is the first lady who made her second campaign stop today in the battleground state of virginia. mrs. obama proudly ran down a list of her husband's accomplishments, particularly those affecting women. >> it's now easier for women to get equal pay for equal work. and that's because of the first bill my husband signed in to law. that was the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. for barack, protecting women's health is a mission that has nothing to do with politics. >> in a new fund-raising letter mailed out this week based on her campaign speech, mrs. obama makes the political, personal and writes about the struggles the president's grandmother faced in the workplace. mrs. obama writes, even though barack's grandmother worked hard to support his family, even though she was good at her job, she hit that glass ceiling. men, no more qualified than she was, were promoted up the ladder ahead of her. so believe me, barack knows what it means when a family strug
