I was lucky enough to be there, and I would like everyone to know that Michelle Obama is a lovely, classy lady. She is genuinely nice, and caring in a real down-to-earth way. When someone fainted, she stopped her speech to make sure that person was taken care of. I was impressed by how well-spoken she was, and when I had the opportunity to shake her hand and speak with her afterward, she was very gracious and warm. God Bless her and her family!

She and her family have my blessing also they just cannot have my vote.

Hi shelly
Romney mensa
Obama densa

I was in the audience with my wife and was honored to be with the First Lady and I was glad that I had voted for her husband just that very day, The First Lady is a dynamic, feeling person. She told us why we should vote to re-elect President Obama; mainly because of his character and the fact that he is a man who speaks the truth without regard to what the audience may WANT to hear!"

1. He took over an economy that was worse than anyone thought. It is not where we want it but it is no longer losing jobs and is in fact gained jobs every month.
2. The stock market is doing very well, thank you
3. The auto loans help save American jobs (Romney would have let them fail)
4. Health care (costs still too high but now there is no pre-existing restriction) Students can stay on parents plan now. Also Pell Grants were saved.
6. Gays can now serve OPENLY (they have been in the military ever since 1959 when I first went into the Army.)
7. Women now get equal pay for equal work and equal protection (Ledbetter)
8. Dodd-Frank Wall Street regulations to help prevent a recurrence of 2008.
9. Improving women's health.
10. Closing the Medicare Prescription Drug "donut hole"
11. We are out of Iraq and getting out of Afghanistan,
Four more years!!!

Another drone droning on

How many people are now on disability and do not count towards the unemployment rate. Use the u6 numbers and you'll have a more accuirate unemployment number. Quit blaming the past adminstration after more then 3 years in office. Equal pay hmmmm, better not look at Obams cabinets. Looks like the economy was too big a task for this so-called President. I think GM stock closed at 24 dollars a share yesterday the USA has 500 million shares and would have to sell at 53 dollars a share to break even on the bailout, lovely! Going to need another bailout soon. What in the world does "improving womens health" mean?

It took 8 years of Republican Mismanagement to squander a surplus by giving tax breaks to the rich and going into Iraq where we had no business going into. I was working in the Pentagon on 9/11 and NO ONE said Sadaam Hussein of Iraq did this--every officer I worked with said OSAMA BIN LADEN did this. We are not where we want to be but it is amazing how much our pres. has done despite all the nastiness from the R's in congress (take a look at congress' low approval rating) . As far as health care goes, the system does need tweaking but a strong Republican i know who dies of cancer recently said before she died that our pres, did not go far enough with health care! How many people are working today who would have been out of a job if we had followed Romney's plan to let the auto industry GO BANKRUPT? How can you expect someone to clean up a mess accumulated over 8 years in just three years? By the way what is Governor Romney's plan today to fix this? Write it in pencil because it will probaly change tomorrow.

Thanks Sandra, I could not have said it any better.

Obama is the absolute worst president in history! Open your eyes, he's changing this country alright, leading it to the crapper. What a great foreign policy his has, oh whoops, I mean covering up his lies. Obama and his so called administration is a joke. Romney has class, doesn't lie his ass off, he tells the truth, and will win, America is too smart for Obama Hussein's socialistic b.s.

Thanks to Mister Fasolo for his service! Your service does not make you a authority If you are correct then why has Obama let the tax cuts stay in place? The GM stock is at 24.75 today yet we have to sell at $53.00 in order to recoup our bailout money. It was Obama and dear Nancy who gave the bird to the republicans because they had the majority in votes when he took office. Then when he does not have a majority he blames republicans for not working with him, sounds to familiar. Read some if you want Romney's plans. Obamas plan is to reduce the work force and then say unemployment is down, yikers! The British lost 700 million dollars on the Olympics, guess the Romster had that right do we want to be like Spain 25.1% unemployment,Russia is our enemy and the Palestinians do not ever want peace with the state of Israel. Yes I do not want to fund clinics for your health care.

When I was working in my cubicle in room 1E677 after 911, I used to end all my emails with a quote from President Bush: "We will bring the terrorists to Justice or Justice to the terrorists". Well he was not able to do so, but President Obama did "bring justice to the chief terrorist, OSAMA!) and the R's have trouble giving the president (in his role as commander-in-chief) credit for giving the order to do so. How sad.

Sorry Mr. Fasolo but you and sandra are both wackamohos. I hope it was nothing to do with your tours in Viet Nam.

marcus as usual you are at your best when you are critical of your superiors!

Obama is for losers

the wee darlings don't want to be called names. then quit posting stupid half truths. btw why be civil i don't intend to run for any office and if you want to act like frightened, communist pinkos then take offense but please do it twice!

After speaking Mrs. Obama came straight over to me and hugged me, gave me a kiss on the cheek. I looked into her eyes and told her my husband has brain cancer and would appreciate her prayers. She told me that she and her family would be praying for him and to tell him to stay strong. I will remember that for the rest of my life, because I beiieved every word she said. She was believiable, and down to earth, I felt like she was in my living room explaining the Presidents agenda. I felt the love and concern and if her husband holds the same values, then he's the man for the job. Mitt Romney has no concern for everyday people like me.

I never said I was civil and if you base your votes on what people are blogging instead of what the candidates are telling us then that puts you in the group that should not be allowed to vote. There are no party affiliations in Virginia we are all independents as far as I know. Sounds like you need to do some homework though.

Lol
The regime is a joke. Obama's cronies are as crooked as a corkscrew, every word from their mouths is a lie. Biden looked like a fool last night, laughing like a phsycho hyena. Our only hope is Romney to get our country back on track. Don't disappoint me VA. Don't be suckered. Have a great weekend everybody! Peace

Thank God we live in America where everyone has the right to an opinion they can express openly. Where we can vote for whomever we please and feel good about our vote. Each of us has to come to terms as to what's more important to us. No President can fix every problem. Some of us need to use the rights of America to better our lives without looking for someone else to change things, our changes need to start in our own communities. We need to stop blaming our teachers for the lack of success with our children, stop buying our kids with gadgets and electronics. We need to teach them respect for themselves and others. Spend more time as families and turn off the TV's and computer games. We need to stand up to the community drug dealers and let them know we won't tolarate that kind of activity in our community's. We need to reach out to each other, help on a community level, protect our children and our elderly.

i think I am going to be sick.
