obama11.jpgAmerica’s potential First Lady, Michelle Obama, brought her husband’s campaign message and a message about early voting to Escambia County Tuesday.

Obama, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, spoke about the importance of early voting in this year’s presidential election.

“I come here as a wife who has watched her husband grow and flourish in this role. Watching him, I know in my heart and soul that he will be an extraordinary president,” Obama said. “People in Washington have been working on the issues for a long time, we know that. But they haven’t made the kind of progress we’d like to see. We have to ask ourselves, isn’t it time for new solutions, because we know the old ways just won’t do? Isn’t it time for our politics to reflect our realities and our values?”

About 7,000 people attended Obama’s speech at the Pensacola Civic Center.

    Please share Michelle Obama’s thesis with us as well as Cindy McCain’s. Gross is when some think they can represent all. By the way, exactly where is “down here”?

    People should really read her thesis before they assume she will be an asset to everyone.

    I would have loved to go see Michele O. yesterday. When she is first lady she will be an asset to the country, all American women, and to her husband as well.
