Michelle Obama, Praising Husband, Urges Young People In N.C. To Vote Andrew Rafferty

GREENVILLE, N.C. – First Lady Michelle Obama continued to embrace her role as President Barack Obama's chief character witness on Wednesday, telling thousands of young North Carolinians that her husband is an inclusive leader with compassion for all Americans.

"As president, you have to be driven by the struggles, hopes and dreams of all the people you serve," Michelle Obama told the 3,100 gathered at a rally in Durham, emphasizing the word "all."

"As president, you truly need a strong inner compass, you know, a core commitment to your fellow citizens," she said. "That's how you make the right decisions for this country."

She went on to tell the crowd that the president "has been struggling with us. And together, slowly but surely, we have been pulling ourselves out of that hole we started in."

The first lady did not mention GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney or Republicans during two rallies on college campuses in North Carolina.

But her message drew a noticeable contrast with the recently-unearthed video of Romney telling supporters at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans do not "take personal responsibility" and "who believe that they are victims.” Romney conceded in the video that he is not reaching out to those voters because he cannot win their vote.

He will get the Buddhist vote, the Hindu vote, the Sikh vote (remember the towel headed delegates at the DNC?) and the Muslim vote.

Yes, young people of N.C. vote because Obama himself said on Letterman: We don’t have to worry about or debt short term.

That means YOU, young people will have to worry about it long term.

We got ours!

Vote accordingly....

Zer0 can’t do first grade math. He said he didn’t know wht the national debt was when he came to office.

He’s a flat out liar or incredible stupid.

"Michelle Obama continued to embrace her role as President Barack Obama's chief character witness"

I'd just as soon accept Ilse Koch as a character witness for her husband, as I would Moochhell 0bama as one for hers.

They both struggle a lot but they still have a lock on the idiot vote.
