Sen. Barack Obama was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd at a fundraiser Friday, but the person who had the audience laughing the hardest was his wife, who decided to air some dirty laundry.

Speaking for nearly as long as her husband, Michelle Obama told roaring audience members she sometimes wishes she could live with the same character she sees on TV and hears about in the media, calling that man "Barack Obama the phenomenon."

"Then there's the Barack Obama who lives in my house," she said. "That guy's not as impressive. He still has trouble ... putting his socks actually in the dirty clothes, and he still doesn't do a better job than our 5-year-old daughter Sasha at making his bed, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little stunned at this whole Barack Obama thing."
The Illinois senator's wife tried to depict her husband as more good-guy than politician.

"I hate following my wife," the senator said when he took the stage. "It is true my wife is smarter, better looking. She's a little meaner than I am. ... But she is also my partner, my coconspirator."
