She's got game.

And First Lady Michelle Obama, leaving tonight for Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago's 2016 Olympics bid, is cranking it up, promising to "take no prisoners" in her quest to beat Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Madrid.

Mrs. Obama offered up some good-natured G-rated trash talk about Chicago's rivals when she met with a group of reporters on Monday to discuss Friday's vote by the International Olympic Committee to pick the 2016 host city.

I wish Obama was half as committed to defeating Al Qaeda in Afghanistan as he is to securing the Olympics for Chicago.

I reckon it's already a done deal behind the Olympic Committee closed doors, and the Obamas are posturing for some personal accolades.

This is a stunning conflict of interest, and completely inappropriate for the president and his family.

I would go so far as to suggest that it's illegal.

One of the radio talkshows had a good viewpoint today:
Chicago has probably already been designated. It will be painted by the mainstream media "...President 0bama's presence tipped the scales to Chicago in the final decision..." and we can take that to the bank.

Baby daddy didn’t trust her to get the job done.

He’s going along to make sure it goes his way.

No vote of confidence for her from him.

Agree, this is just PR to make it look like they’re saving the day. Has Axelrod all over it.

“Take no prisoners.” ...................... Is that directed to the tourists? Considering the environment in Chicago, maybe she is warning the visitors, to take no prisoners?
