Michelle Obama To Ohio Supporters: Vote; A Second Term Isn't Certain Andrew Rafferty
CINCINNATI, OH – A marching band took to the streets of downtown here Tuesday, leading the crowd to a destination not usually associated with much fanfare: the voting booth.
On the opening day of early voting in the Buckeye State, first lady Michelle Obama rallied 6,800 supporters at the Duke Energy Convention Center in downtown Cincinnati.
"Here in Ohio, it is already election day," she said, flanked by a large banner that read “Cincinnati fired up! Ready to vote!”
The first lady encouraged the large and boisterous crowd to make the short walk directly from the rally to the Hamilton County Board of Elections where they could become some of the first Americans to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama's re-election. The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows the president maintaining a slight lead nationally over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, and a recent polls show that lead is even bigger in Ohio.
Even with the positive polls, Michelle Obama warned supporters that a second term for her husband is far from certain, which is why they need to start voting.

Shouldn’t this bimbo be out somewhere chewing out some little kids for eating something that she believes isn’t good for them?
Or spending money borrowed from China to pay for another ‘bling belt’ made in China.
Manchelle wants more LOBSTER!!!
(Interesting footnote; lobster used to be fed to inmates.
Appropriate, huh?)
Ya gotta read the comments section to see how uninformed/misinformed, hate filled and four mouthed the Obama supporters are. It is pathetic. These people really vote and our country could end up belonging to them again.
Moooochelle. A second term is not certain? It’s not likely IMHO.
Pack your bags for Hawaii!
Come on Obama supporters, it’s in the bag! On election day go out and play golf and play with your Obama phones.
No, a second term for the Kenyan isn’t certain, Michelle, but what is certain is the misery his presidency will cause for decades to come.
I thought they wwre up by 10 points!!!!!
No resting, no complacence.
The target should be for Obama to get 0 electoral votes, nothing less.
No simple win but a thorough drubbing to show the left that the country does not want their policies
-——If we are complacent and don’t get every single conservative out to vote——
There is an obvious problem. Some vain and sanctimonious conservatives place their own worth above that of the country and chose to pretend to act.
