Michelle Obama Calling Her Husband 'The Answer'

TOMBARI BONKOO
For those who came out under the steamy heat of yesterday to hear and see Michelle Obama on Central Park West and on 125th street, may went home with three words: she is great.

According to the NY Daily News, Michelle told the standing crowd "I am married to The Answer, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his wife."

Michelle has been surrogating round the country for her charismatic husband generally loved by the crowd he is pulling in each of his events. She has demonstrated throughout the campaign so far as equal to the task of standing in for her husband.

In recent weeks, she was on the campaign trail with her husband, Barack Obama at New Hampshire and a voter asked her why did she think voters should vote for her husband, with waiting a second, she answered the question eloquently by saying " He is a man of integrity who understands what voters are going through everyday."

During the past months, she was informing voters about humanity of Mr. Obama, but it seems her new level of campaigning now is about the strengths of her husband. She is unexpectedly receiving a warm reception from voters across the country.

Among the Democratic voters, Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards are both loved for their intelligence, honesty, thoughtfulness and understanding of the daily problems that women face everyday. They both have children that both liked by voters-an asset for them throughout the campaign.

During yesterday's event, which was attended by over 400 women in Harlem, Michelle talks about her background as a daughter of a blue-collar Chicago city employee, who understands the value of family and dedication to their needs. She told the crowd that her father worked hard to send her and her brother to Princeton despite having multiple sclerosis that later resulted to his death.

In the first event at the New York Historical Society, Michelle talks about most of the common problems confronting workingwomen today; from working, staying fit, cooking and caring for the children. The message connected with most women who graced the occasion.

She also told the applauding crowd about the authenticity of Mr. Obama as man who will not disappoint voters if elected as the next president of the United States. The second event held in Harlem was attended by mostly black women, who were encouraged by Michelle to go to the campaign website and join the "Women for Obama."

According to the report, Anna Simmons who is from Harlem told the reporter "She [Michelle] was wonderful." This may not be the last time that New Yorkers may see Michelle Obama. According to the campaign, she is an integral part of the Obama movement.

Recent polls suggest that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are in a statically tied when it comes to black votes. But with Michelle frequently on the road campaigning for her husband in states like South Carolina and New York where there are a lot of blacks voters, they may have an inroad in the community.

Voters across the country are still evaluating whether Sen. Obama is actually "The Answer" as stated by his surrogate.

    Without Michelle's help, I decided Obama is the answer and thus I agree with her assessment of her husband. She would prefer to have him live a more normal non-public eye lifestyle. She is unselfish enough to sacrifice their personal life, because she knows.
