Oldsters hobbling on crutches stood next to schoolgirls in plaid skirts. Aging civil rights workers with receding Afros stood shoulder to shoulder with bald union workers.

Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, attracted a true melting pot to the Pensacola Civic Center on Tuesday. And she stirred the pot consistently during her 35-minute speech.

“No longer will we be complacent,” Obama told 7,000 people who crowded the Civic Center for a Get Out The Vote rally, just two weeks before the Nov. 4 elections.
People in Washington have been working on the issues for a long time, we know that. But they haven’t made the kind of progress we’d like to see. We have to ask ourselves, isn’t it time for new solutions, because we know the old ways just won’t do? Isn’t it time for our politics to reflect our realities and our values?

“Don’t we deserve leaders that get it?”

The crowd answered in the affirmative with thunderous applause and spontaneous shouts of “We love you, Michelle!” and sporadic chants of the Obama mantra, “Yes, we can.”


be sure to watch the vid located on the right, It has some nice interviews with the the Obama supporters.
