(CNSNews.com) – Speaking at the University of Sciences in Philadelphia on Thursday, First Lady Michelle Obama encouraged attendees to recruit their "little lazy friend" to campaign for President Barack Obama’s reelection.

“And that’s why we have launched this wonderful effort that we’re calling It Takes One,” Mrs. Obama said. “It’s simple. It is as simple as it sounds. Every time you take action to move this campaign forward, we’re asking you to inspire just one more person to step up and do their part as well.

“So if you’re making calls, knocking on doors, bring that friend, that little lazy friend, bring them,” Mrs. Obama said. "Bring them.

“If you’re coming to an event, bring a neighbor who has never been involved, may be undecided. Bring them with you,” she added.

“When you’re voting early or on Election Day, find that person in your life; help them get to the polls,” Mrs. Obama said. “Find that one friend, that one colleague, that one person in your family.”

Hey Michelle! What are you doing around the time of the DNC? I have this guy I want you to hear speak...

Remember when Presidents used to campaign with their wives?

Oh my goodness! I'd forgotten about that. The wife would stand to the side, a little back from her husband and watch him adoringly. Then, when he was finished she'd give him a hug and possibly a kiss.

Does she mean that lazy friend that she disrepected when she said he was ‘confused’ if he didn’t know why he should vote for her wimpy husband?

THAT lazy friend?

Boy, if I was one of her black supporters, I would be seriously po’d. But since it’s Michelle . . . . .

They already be gettin’ the money. Obama gots to give them mo’money! We gonna take it from the 1% and give it to you. If you don’t vote for Obama, them white folks gonna make you work. And when they say work, they mean in the cotton fields! You remember them cotton fields, don’t you? When Bush was President, you was slaves, but Obama freed you. Don’t let that Romney make you a slave again.

Looks like Joe Biden's advisors read your post and thought it might be a good idea to mention "chains" in his speech against Romney & Ryan. ;-)
