Some conservative Texas bloggers are taking offense to a comment Michelle Obama made during her recent speech before the Democratic National Committee’s Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council.

“Barack has the courage to talk to skeptical audiences, not just friendly ones,” Michelle Obama reportedly told the Leadership Council. “That’s why he told a crowd at a rally in Texas that gays and lesbians deserve equality. And you can imagine in Texas that that crowd got a little quiet.”

One blogger, Hugh Hewitt, argues that Mrs. Obama distorted the truth. Hewitt has posted the above video, which he says shows the remarks by Barack in Beaumont to which Michelle was referring. Hewitt also has the full audio of Mrs. Obama’s speech.
