Here is a puff piece written by Gwen Ifill from Essence magazine.

Michelle has done a heroic job of managing the house, the family and still finding time to campaign and be out on the road,” he says, after directing staff members to turn off the television, which was tuned to Fox News Channel. “I’m always marveling at everything that she can do.”

And then he sings.

“I’m every woman,” he croons. She cringes. He laughs. “That’s Michelle. It’s like, Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!”

Then there is this piece, Michelle Obama: Beside Barack, written by Ifill for Essence

McCain speaks on Ifill:

“Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn’t writing a book favorable to Barack Obama — let’s face it,” McCain said on “Fox & Friends.” “But I have to have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is.”
