Smiley says he was never contacted by the Obama camp with an offer to send Michelle Obama to the conference.

"It never happened," Smiley said. "No letter, no fax, no e-mail, no phone call, no document whatsoever to my office ever regarding Michelle Obama. She was never offered, it was never discussed."

Smiley said he would've respectfully declined the Michelle Obama offer anyway.

"Just as we would have declined had Hillary Clinton offered Bill Clinton, had John McCain offered Cindy McCain, had Mike Huckabee suggested Janet Huckabee," Smiley said.
