Which is higher: The number of people who asked FLOTUS to show up or the number who asked POTUS not to?
Q Is the First Lady hitting the campaign trail because the White House is concerned about getting women to the polls this November?
GIBBS: Look, I think the First Lady is an enormous asset of this administration, somebody that is focused on issues that are tremendously important to the American people, whether it is the health of our children or the priorities of those that are returning from serving our country. Those are her priorities and I think those are the country’s priorities. She is, as you might guess, a popular ask on the campaign trail. And I think she will go out and make a forceful and positive case for what this administration has done over the course of the next several weeks.
