Michelle Obama Brags About Obama Economy As Stock Market Tumbles

First Lady Michelle Obama was praising her husband’s handling of the economy today as the Dow Jones Industrial Average began plunging.

The First Lady spoke at a Grassroots campaign event for Tom Wolf, a Democratic candidate for governor in Pennsylvania.

She reminded the crowd that in 2008, the country was in “full-blown crisis mode” and “on the brink of collapse.”

By 1:30 pm, however, the Dow had plunged over 400 points – the worst drop in nearly three years. The market eventually recovered from some of the losses on the day by market close.
