Electioneering is the term. There is to be NO advocacy of a candidate of ANY KIND within 100 ft. of the front entrance of a polling place. And YES - early voting is going on in Illinois right now.

This was an illegal action on her part.

A nothing story, and a distraction from the hard issues which are attracting people to vote for our side.

I disagree. It is a very symbolic example that is easy to understand. It is yet one more example of how laws are to keep republicans and other little people under control.

Don't expect enforcement against the "elites". They are better than the rest of us proletariat. (Does this really need a sarcasm tag?)

Illegal? Yep.

Didn’t know better? Let me think ... life long resident of Illinois, practiced law there, political wife for years.

Oh, yes, I’m SURE she didn’t KNOW. Yeah, that’s it. THat’s the ticket.

The Kenyan usurper's wife outdoes herself.

Now she sullies the name of her office with outright criminal behavior.

Shows the Obamas total disregard for the law and that they are “above the law.” Just wait it will get uglier than this...

Here in Arizona, a grandmother wore a Tea Party t-shirt to vote in the primary in August. Someone complained (an official I believe) and the woman has been charged with polling place electioneering and now CANNOT VOTE IN THE ELECTION! That's an outrage and she should bring up the double standard with Sasquatch as part of her defense.

Just like her husband.

Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place."

It's a stupid law but, hey, it IS the law.

Woo-hoo! She's lucky these defenders of law and justice weren't around at the time. THEY would've made sure no hanky-panky was allowed to take place.

It is funny that she’s a brilliant, accomplished lawyer until she breaks the law, then she probably didn’t know about it.

Some are saying they sent her out since she has a more favorable rating than BO.....’Let’ her out would better say it.

You are likely right though, who is there to keep her back at this point.

As for Spain trip....likely marriage already to intense between them...while she was gone they got the ducks in a row for her to emerge...thus taking some of the strain off the marriage. Michelle has cabin fever. I agree she is likely tough to be around in the whitehouse...staff is already spilling the beans about that.

"Who let the dogs out?....Woof - woof, woof!"

I can see that. She seems to be more visible, recently.

I just recalled, however, that not long before Michelle's Spain trip, she spoke before the NAACP and created a huge PR flap.

If you ask me, neither Barry or Michelle have good political instincts. They step on their tongues every time they speak to the American people. They can speak to their radical left-wing minions just fine, but talking to mainstream Americans is like talking to aliens to these people.

I think that holds true for all hard-core libs.

Exactly right....

I have to admit I knew things would be very bad for this nation under Obama..but I was not at all prepared for his stupidity in dealing on the international stage...nor that he would so quickly turn on the citizens of this great country...let alone the extreme disrespect they have shown our allies...while kissing butt with our enemies. This is the most treasonous pair I have ever seen in politics and I cannot hardly wait till they are forgotten History.

I see Condi is going to meet with Bo....I have admired her so much... but what is she doing! That I don't get! Makes my stomach roll ...Condi just dropped from my admiration society until I hear why she's doing this. I think BO wants it to appear he's favorable to her and use her to get his numbers up again.

You know when our guys get in place it is not going to be an easy thing to turn this ship around again....Bo has done so much damage already and still has two years left to sink us further....If the Rep.s win the landslide as we think then Bo and the Democrates will blame them for all this fallout from BO.

My personal observation is that Obama is so out of the loop of mainstream America, that he honestly doesn't understand our culture, or traditions in any shape or form.

Note that he presented the Queen of England with an iPod as a gift (containing his speeches, no less!). That registered as a monumental faux pas with most Americans, but I'm sure it never even occurred to Obama what an embarrassing and inappropriate act that was.

People call him an alien, and that's what he is. He's never been an American, even though he's mastered the art of sounding like one when it suits him.

He comes from a place that is utterly alien to you and I. A place so radically different from our America, that it might as well be a foreign country.

This is why everything that comes out of his mouth rubs us the wrong way. This is why his foreign relations are so bizarrely ass-backwards. This is why he demonizes mainstream America the way he does. We're completely alien to him.
