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 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."

Demorats are feeling kinda folk
He is eloquent ~ he can talk the talk
but ... he has shown that beyond talking ,... he can’t walk the walk .
He is in over his head ; and he has shown himself to be an amateur
BAH HUMBUG!
Yeah, keep trying Sasquatch. NC is already out of reach.
No worries, Obama says his wife, has a “strong inner compass”
He will get the Buddhist vote, the Hindu vote, the Sikh vote (remember the towel headed delegates at the DNC?) and the Muslim vote.
He won’t get my vote, my teacher’s vote or the votes of anyone in our sangha. Nor would any commie.
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.
I'd just as soon accept Ilse Koch as a character witness for her husband, as I would Moochhell 0bama as one for hers.
"She went on to tell the crowd that the president "has been struggling with us."He is in over his head and he has shown himself to be an amateur
They both struggle a lot but they still have a lock on the idiot vote.
