First Lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday put the Supreme Court at the core of President Barack Obama's argument for reelection, telling supporters that the vote in November could affect Americans' security, freedoms and whether they can "love whomever we choose" -- a reference to the fight over gay and lesbian rights.
"This President has brought us out of the dark and into the light," she said in a speech at a rally in Nashville. "I hope you all are fired up and ready to go."
Her comments came as Washington awaited a ruling from the nine justices on whether her husband's landmark health care law is constitutional. A decision could come in June.
"We cannot forget the impact the Court's decisions will have on our lives for decades to come — on our privacy and security, on whether we can speak freely, worship openly, and love whomever we choose," she said in a ringing defense of the president's record. Asked about similar statements in the past, the White House has denied that they reflect any newfound White House support for gay marriage. Kristina Schake, the First Lady's communications director, said Tuesday that it "refers to the importance of the Supreme Court for deciding many issues."

So, if they’re Romney’s choices wouldn’t we also “say goodbye to the Constitution?”
Someone makeup posters and T-Shirts:

As unappealing as a President Romney is... pResident Obunghole for another term, is the equivalent of the Bubonic Plague.
Not if the senate doesn’t confirm them.
“This President has brought us out of the dark and into the light”
That’s truly an evil thing to say considering her definition of what is darkness and what is light.
Actually, she’s right. Half of them should be retiring soon and that’ll leave openings for Hussein to fill with his evil doers.
If Obunghole wins another term....life as we have known it is over.
No kidding? That's why I will be at the polls. I am scared to death for our security, freedoms and the next Supreme Court Justices that are chosen. We are so close to losing it all.
