CENTERVILLE, Iowa (CNN) – Michelle Obama said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton wouldn't bring about as much change as her husband Barack Obama would, and added that he's the one and only "different candidate." "We've seen what Clinton does or doesn’t do," Obama told a young woman in an off-the-cuff comment while working the crowd after an event. "We've been there, done that, and I would just hope that we as a country would try something really different." To that, the woman responded, "I think we need a change, and that's all I'm worried about." "Well, the only different candidate in this race is Barack," Obama continued. "Everybody is pretty much…been there done that." Obama also touted her husband's experience. Earlier this week, the Clinton campaign released a statement that said that if Barack Obama were elected, he'd be the least experienced president since World War II. When asked about the claim Wednesday, Michelle Obama responded, "That's just not true. That's all I can say." She went on to cite his experience as a state legislator in Illinois, adding that Chicago politics "is as tough as politics is going to get." –CNN Iowa Producer Chris Welch Filed under: Barack Obama Iowa
