FIRST LADY CAMPAIGNED INSIDE POLLING PLACE
Thu Oct 14 2010 16:19:25 ET
First lady Michelle Obama appears to have violated
Illinois law -- when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place!
The drama began after Mrs. Obama stopped off at the
Martin Luther King Center on the south side of Chicago to cast an early vote.
After finishing at the machine, Obama went back to the desk and handed in her voting key.
She let voters including electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, take some photos.
"She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband's agenda going," Campbell said.
According to the pool reporter at the scene, the conversation took place IN the voting center not far from the booths.
Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place."
A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT how Mrs. Obama may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally.
"You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?" the official explained late Thursday. "I mean, she's prety well liked and probably doesn't know what she's doing."
WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS ELECTIONEERING
When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. Obama's campaigning, press secretary Robert Gibbs defended the action.
"I don't think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband's agenda," Gibbs smiled.

She posed for pictures with some other voters, including electrician Dennis Campbell, who later said, “She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going.”
Does this rise to the level of campaigning and was it done within 100 feet?
That is always such a great mental exercise. Think of things that Obama’s people do, and then imagine if the Bush folks had done the same thing.
It would be a media firestorm if Laura Bush had done it.
Here is Hillary Clinton doing it in 2008.

This 3rd picture has got to warrant its own posting and *ping* to the “What Not To Wear” list....no?
yes, she is...
Hey, GIBBS, you idiot, it was in a POLLING PLACE which is against the law (which proves you have no respect for the law either)!
Has she started ‘helping’ people vote yet?
WTF was she wearing? Biggest crime of them all!
” Gibbs response “
That was fast - especially fast, for this Administration....
Evidently there’s enough Truth in this allegation that O figures it needs to be stomped-on — RIGHT NOW!!
I am sure she did it. She is a dumb ass..probably thought nothing was wrong with doing it.
Nothing. Laws dont apply to Democrats.
I’m sure she’ll be sharing a cell with those New Black Panthers from Philly /SARC!
Get Smart music goes dut-da-daaaaa-da.
Can you please add a pic where the perp is an Amazon?
Ummm State Run media and Atty. Gen. Eric Holder...anyone?? She won’t even get a negative mention......
