5 over 2 weeks to go

Michelle Obama had a touching moment at this Thursday's Rally in Pittsburgh. An 82 year-old man interrupted her speech to announce how happy he was to be able to vote for an African-American for president. This goes against the tide of the "old people might still be racist" idea that has been floating around over the past year or so. After the rally Michelle had dinner with several prominent Steelers figures at Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney's home.

On Tuesday Michelle will be joined by her husband in Miami to hold an free and publicly open rally. Continuing her busy schedule Michelle will also be stopping by in Pensacola, Florida on Tuesday morning. Moving on again, Mrs. Obama will be hitting up Gainesville and then Jacksonville on Wednesday.

*I'd just like to throw this out there.. If I was Michelle and Barack were to lose, boy would I be upset that I did that all that traveling.

Cindy McCain visited Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania and held a fairly quiet rally. She is reported to have given a speech today in Gettysburg.

In other news Cindy, reported an income of over 4.2 million for 2007. Not bad for doing nothing but bug me. This is however, a 2 million dollar drop from 2006. The New York Times unleashed a series off attacks on Mrs. McCain. These attacks range from several "miscarriages"while Johnny Boy was in Washington and prescription drug theft to get her fix. The attacks seem a little bit unfair and the McCain campaign is very very very angry.

Must-See Potential First Lady Moment of the Week:

According to press reports, our romantic Barack Obama sang this song to Michelle on their anniversary. Below are the lyrics to the song the lucky lady heard.

------------------------

Michelle, first lady.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.

Michelle, première dame.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

We’re winning, we’re winning, we’re winning.
That's all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
John doesn't understand.

Michelle, première dame.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

The White House, the White House, the White House.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what it means to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean.

THE WHITE HOUSE..

We’re winning, we’re winning, we’re winning.
I think you know by now
I'll get the votes somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you
John doesn't understand.

Michelle, première dame.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand, my first lady...

If the Obama family did not already have my vote, it is now cemented. She is spending time with some of the most important people in our country. Dan you can't avoid me mentioning Mike Tomlin. Im sure Mike Tomlin went to the dinner with Michelle Obama. If you though the was not significant in this campaign, you are wrong!

On a serious note, 4.2 million is serious money. At least when McCain loses he will have some cash to fall back on, and 7 houses.

I'm not sure if Mike Tomlin or his wife were at the dinner but I know at least one of them was.
