Regarding criticism of the Obama administration she said: “I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course. “Rightfully, some people are frustrated, right? “But one of the things that Barack Obama said and continues to say is change isn’t easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. And it certainly doesn’t happen in a year. It’s not, he’s not done yet. He’s got more time.”
