DETROIT, MI - First Lady Michelle Obama told a Detroit audience Friday "we are better off today than when Barack first took office," as she rallied the crowd in support of Michigan Democrats up for election in November.
The first lady, stumping for Democrats around the country, cited historic economic growth, higher graduation rates and health care availability as signs the country is headed in the right direction. Democrats are campaigning to retain control of the U.S. Senate in November, though Republicans are mounting a strong challenge to takeover both chambers of Congress.
In Michigan, Democrats are trying to hold retiring Sen. Carl Levin's seat by electing Rep. Gary Peters, who is being challenged by Republican Terri Lynn Land. The party is also trying to knock off Gov. Rick Snyder with former Congressman Mark Schauer.
Michelle Obama told the capacity crowd at the Detroit Music Hall that Peter and Schauer "refused to walk away from workers here in Michigan," adding that her husband's accomplishments came from Democrats in Michigan and across the country.
"Barack didn't do all that just sitting alone in the Oval Office," Obama said.

Well, the liberal elite may be better off today. Muslim terrorists may have it better. Illegal aliens maybe... But REAL AMERICANS HAVE BEEN TAKING IT IN THE SHORTS!
Well, she and Barack probably ARE better off...
Farts on you Moose!
“we are better off today than when Barack first took office,”
Liar.
Detroit
We are better off today! We have a ISIS crossing the southern biorder to blow up America, and an ebola pandemic dstarting in America while the president refuses to ban or quarantine travellers from ebola ridden West Africa.
We bettah OFF! We just OFF period, effed off!Millions of Americans will die before this is over, but thats just what the left wants. They leave no crisis unexploited to that end.
So do you work for the democrats or just volunteer to help them?
It's probably true. People receiving various forms of gov't aid have had just over a 30% increase in benefits under Obozo. Those of us productive members of society who are retired and living on Social Security have had a .1% increase in benefits. Our troops who live in harms way have benefited by about 1%. Wonder why that is?
Just further proof that she has no brain.
She’s dead Jim....
Wow. Talk about campaigning in a safe district! I guess she’ll only appear in places that are 98% Black to make sure she won’t get booed.
She was there to help get the (fraudulent) vote out.
I’m retired how about yourself?
