Michelle Obama to America: ‘We Are Blessed to Have Him’ By Terence P. Jeffrey May 1, 2012
(CNSNews.com) - First Lady Michelle Obama said at a campaign event in Tucson, Ariz., on Monday evening that ‘we are blessed” to have her husband as president, telling the audience that when he sits down in the evening to read letters that people have sent him about their troubles he sometimes turns to her and says: "Michelle, this ain’t right. We’ve got to fix this. We have so much more to do."
“We need to keep moving forward,” Mrs. Obama said.
In the speech, she also pointed to her husband’s accomplishments in health care, including making sure children get treated for “things like diabetes and ashtma,” ensuring women get “prenatal care, mammograms, contraception at no extra cost,” and guaranteeing that “our children can now stay on their parents’ insurance until they’re 26 years old."
Mrs. Obama stressed that her husband has empathy with people who are struggling in America.
“And what I want you all to know is that your President knows this,” she said. “He understands this because he has lived this. That’s why he understands these issues.
“See, Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to put herself through school and pay the bills,” Mrs. Obama explained. “And when she needed help, who stepped up? His grandmother--waking up before dawn to take that bus to her job at the bank. And even though she was passed over for all those promotions, she never complained.”

Anyway, what would atheists like the Obamas know from ‘blessed’?
