First lady Michelle Obama was introduced in the University Clubs Cathedral Room Wednesday to a standing ovation from the approximately 200 donors in attendance.
She hugged Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias, who stood behind her left shoulder as she delivered her speech.
I am thrilled to be back home in my home town, Chicago, Obama said. I get to sleep in my own bed tonight.

A lot of pundits describe the state as “very blue.” But this is a relatively recent phenomenon, wouldn’t you say? They elected Republican governors (even if they were “moderate”) from 1976 to 1998. If I’m not mistaken, Republicans controlled the legislature for at least part of the time prior to 2002. Republicans did OK when it came to the congressional delegation. Then all of a sudden 0bama runs for the Senate and he was such an unstoppable force they could hardly come up with anyone to oppose him. If IL had been smart and seen through this empty suit just maybe they could have spared the rest of the country from what we’re going through now!
“Giannouliass Broadway Bank was seized by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation on April 23, 2010, reportedly as Secretary of Treasury Tim Geithner was on his way to Chicago to present the bank with a bailout check.”
Sleep well, Manchelle.....oh....and don’t wait up for Obama. He has a date-—I mean....he has plans.
“Obama said, ‘We have seen him grow.’”
yea.....more like Obama has seen him “grow”.....
Was Ryan really ahead in that race? I don’t remember there being any polls. Hard to believe he would have won in any case. Even if it had not been for that fake scandal I suspect he would not have been able to compete financially so 0bama would have won anyway. Plus Kerry was winning the state easily that year.
She has dead eyes. They don’t move and show no expression when she speaks. Must be the dirty spirits.
Her attire is inappropriate, she is making a speech, not attending a cocktail party.
alexi broke the bank well he wants to break america way to go alexi your a crook.
The very reason that I will not vote for Giannoulias or Kirk. There is an alternative, Dabno is his name.
