"HE THANKED ME": President Obama calls Ms Fluke - Georgetown law student attacked by Rush Limbaugh

Fluke told Mitchell what the President said to her:
>> i have as well. let's talk about how you felt, first of all, you were in our green room ge -- room getting ready to come on and the white house said we can reveal that you just got off the phone with the president?
>> yes i did.

>> the stakes have been raised pretty high. what did he say to you?

>> he encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of american women and what was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud and that meant a lot because rush limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me. so i appreciated that very much.
