Michelle Obama’s East Wing staff suggested she would take it slow once she started campaigning, emphasizing her nonpolitical “mom-in-chief” role and her noncontroversial fight against childhood obesity.
Instead, the first lady made her political presence felt immediately Wednesday, delivering an impassioned and overtly religious pitch for Democrats to defend her husband’s legacy in the midterm elections.
“We got this man in office; we’re all proud of Barack and his accomplishments,” Obama told syndicated radio host Tom Joyner before embarking on a week of campaign events that will take her to Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado, Washington and California on behalf of endangered Democrats.
“Everybody I know in our communities [is] praying for us,” she said, adopting a religious theme seldom used by her husband — and landing her on top of The Drudge Report, a space she occupied with some regularity two years ago.
“Every day we feel that, and let me just tell your listeners, it means the world to us to know that there are prayer circles out there and people who want to keep the spirits clean around us,” she added.
It remains to be seen if the first lady can offer endangered candidates any real boost with less than three weeks to go — or if her help is too late. But she is raising spirits — as well as cash — with her presence.

Grossly overstated, methinks. Shades of Jimmah Cattah.
Inspiring
Lol!
Just wondering....has anyone ever seen these two inside a church?
They went to church recently to hear a Palestinian Muslim speak, but other than that, no.
Yes, everyday we pray that you and your Husband’s policies get neutered this November, and the both of you get humiliated at the voting booth in 2012.
That’s what we’re praying for.
Gee, why am I not surprised.
How does that “keeping the spirits clean around us” fit in with his insistence on being a good Christian?
I’m praying the American Voters come to their senses and through these current bums out!!!!
No ma'am, we're certainly NOT.
You should post those graphics on every thread that has her name in the title. Reminds people.
Maybe she really said “Everyone is paying for us”.
Sorry Moochelle!...Not everyone!

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs responds to an inquiry that Michelle Obama was campaigning inside a polling place while she was early voting.
“She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going,” a man claimed First Lady Michelle Obama told him inside a polling place.
“She’s a remarkable campaigner,” Gibbs said.
Response: Prayers up to the great god Ju Ju. May the sweet savor of many sacrificial victims please him. Let the maidens dance and the young men waive spears.
I think divining chicken entrails and rolling in the mud while in a “trance” are more appropriate rituals for whatever it is she’s referring to.
She was on Kashyyyk.
Oh, we be praying alright...
Oh Lord, preserve our nation from further Democrat
“victories”. Amen.
They could be combined.
LOL, my feelihgs exactly. The 2012 election can’t come soon enough. Yeah, I know we have the midterms to deal with, but, I’m not sure I can take another 2 years of these marxists.
I'm sure she knows patriotic Black Americans won't be praying for them to succeed with their communist agenda.
Probably your description comes first, then the ingestion of some strange pre-chewed and fermented hallucinogen/intoxicant brew, and then the rolling and entrails.
