DID CINDY MCCAIN REALLY SNUB MICHELLE OBAMA?: Barack's wife asked about handshake-gate and more on 'Daily Show.'
*During a visit to Comedy Central's "Daily Show" on Wednesday, Michelle Obama addressed the so-called handshake snub from her GOP rival Cindy McCain following Tuesday's presidential debate in Nashville.
The First Lady hopefuls crossed paths while greeting audience members after the debate, and Mrs. McCain appeared to have wanted no part of shaking Mrs. Obama's hand.
Michelle told "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart: "Some of that gets over analyzed," adding that she had already shaken Cindy's hand backstage. "She's very cordial."
Michelle said she gets so nervous during her husband's debates that she wouldn't mind just staying at home and getting updates from friends.
"I'm fine with people calling me and saying he did a good job," she explained to Stewart. "And it's like, Good, I got to watch Dick Van Dyke."
Calling herself "an Obama-Mama," Michelle said she's nonetheless a tough critic. "I'm not soft on Barack. I put myself in the position of a voter and I tell him ..., 'If I don't believe you, I'm not voting for you, buddy. You've got to win me over.'"
