ORLANDO, Fla. – Declaring "we are going to get this done," an emotional Michelle Obama rallied a central Florida crowd Monday night, telling supporters on the eve of the election that it's "all on the line" Tuesday.
"Your president is nowhere near satisfied," she said, making the pitch for a second term for her husband, President Barack Obama.
The first lady has maintained a busy schedule visiting key swing states since the Democrats' national convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September.
Here in an Orlando park, she made her final solo campaign appearance of the 2012 cycle.
"Together, slowly but surely, we have been pulling ourselves out of that hole that we started in," Obama said, casting her husband's first term in office as a difficult but productive road to economic recovery.
Though she didn't mention Republican nominee Mitt Romney, she warned against moving backward, touting her husband's overhaul of the health care system and regulation of the financial industry.
The campaign estimated the crowd at 2,600. The decision to hold the first lady's final rally here in Central Florida is no doubt tied to the campaign's strategy to win the state's 29 electoral votes.
Both the Obama and Romney campaigns have poured tens of millions into advertising in the Sunshine State, hoping to win the so-called "I-4 corridor," a key part of the Florida puzzle.
Obama was joined on stage Monday by Sen. Bill Nelson and Puerto Rican-born performer Ricky Martin.
Nelson, who is leading in polls against his Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, made a pitch for support in Spanish.
Almost 4.5 million people in Florida have already cast ballots, taking advantage of early and absentee voting opportunities here. The latest data from the Florida Secretary of State's office shows that Democrats have cast 1,915,630 votes – giving them a lead against Republicans, who have cast 1,747,977 votes.
But Michelle Obama warned that the president needs every vote he can get.
"Don't let anybody push you out of line," the first lady said, telling those who haven't voted yet to get to the polls early. "Don't let any delays deter you."
Michelle Obama was scheduled to appear later Monday with her husband in Des Moines, Iowa.


Praise the Lord, his reign is ending and Gov Romney can finally begin the healing process of our once great Nation. We must all realize that this will not take place over night.
Our prayers to Gov. Romney in these difficult times.

Praise God that he is mighty and will not let us fall. He helped Obama the first time and he will do it again. Thank God we can see the works of his name in the Bible. What a might God we serve. Lord lift his up and make Obama stronger than before. Our noon day Prayers start in all churches don't forget. Greed will get Romney nowhere. Stop cheating and using Gods name in vain, it a sin Mr. Romney
What? Where do you come up with this stuff?
A gutted chicken. I hear she is pretty good at reading the entrials and predicting the future.
I would love to push Michelle right out of the White House :)
Leave the face alone, it looks like it was pushed one too many times already.
Still voting for Mitt Romney?

Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do Luke 23:34.
Ryan and Romney say they believe in Hope and they believe in change.
We have seen these wolves in sheep's clothing before.

Let me warn you and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion that says
“Of course we believe these things.
We believe in Social Security.
We believe in work for the unemployed.
We believe in saving homes.
Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things.
But we do not like the way the present administration is doing them.
Just turn them over to us.
We will do all of them.
We will do more of them.
We will do them better.
And most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.”
Vote Obama/Biden 2012!
Get Up!, Get Out! and Vote!
yes , I'm Still voting for Mitt Romney
Yes, we are still voting for romney!!!! Yay!!!!!!!
Just get this phoney BS over with the american people don't need to vote it is all in the electrol collage the AH's the democrats and the republicans pick to cast the vote we no longer have a government by the people for the people and of the people... It is the news media that elects the man for the white house and all the rest of the jerks running in the states.. Wake up americans, !!!
Now this is the one post that makes the most sense. I just fear the corruption of our system goes much deeper than our electoral college and Diebold electronic ballot boxes...Even FDR warned that "Nothing in politics happen by accident">
Oh! Oh! the Trolls have arrived. I'm gone.
I'm sorry but she is asinine for warning of voter intimidation against Democrat voters or minority voters. Her implication is typical "I'm a victim" liberal narrative.
President-elect Mitt Romney will win 303 electoral college votes and the popular vote by 7%.
Michelle Obama "BITE ME"
One last plea, to all Conservative Christians that have not voted yet, and unless you’re a devoted Ayn Rand Disciple, and believe in her philosophies, Wakeup, and come to your senses! You are being misled into voting against your better interests! Your Republican Party has been taken over by a bunch of Ayn Rand Disciples, and people like Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and most of the talking heads on the Right are devoted followers of hers. And, then there’s Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate, and there’s Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, heck even Ronald Reagan was a follower’s of Ayn Rand’s philosophies. I could go on and on with names, but hopefully these will be enough to convince you to come to your senses. And, if you don’t want to take my word for it, it doesn’t take that long to google their names and find out.
Now, as for Romney, I’m not sure just what he really is, except that he is Mormon, and he’s a pathological liar besides being a borderline psychopath. Now, I know President Obama has caught nothing but flack from the Right, but in his defense that has been part of their strategy from the beginning of every Democrats Presidency. It’s just part of an ongoing plan they use after they get voted out of office, and most of you should recognize the following tactic the Right uses, because it’s been their strategy for decades now.
The first thing they do is, they endlessly insist that Government creates all of our problems.
Second is the self-fulfilling prophecy of bad government under Republican leadership, as the Bush recessions of 1991 and 2007, the Hurricane Katrina response, the Iraq catastrophe and the transfer of federal oversight powers to the industries being regulated all showed.
Third, when the backlash from the American people inevitably comes as it did in 1992 and 2008, attack the very legitimacy of the new Democratic president they elected.
Fourth, they turn to the filibuster and other obstructionist tactics in an attempt to block the Democratic agenda, inaction for which the incumbent majority will be blamed.
And, lastly they target the institutions and programs (Social Security, Medicare, the IRS) which form the underpinnings of progressive government.
Now, back to Ayn Rand, do you people have any idea of what Ayn Rand’s philosophies were? If not, her philosophies were centered around Objectivism. Whereas, selfishness is considered a virtue, and the world is made up of what she considered as Creators and Parasites. In other words, most of our citizenry is made-up of parasites, unless you happen to be in the prestigious 1 percent. Now, here is the real kicker for all of you Conservative Christians that have been misled and fooled. Objectivism, also considers all people of religious faith as nothing but FOOLS, and are incapable of reason. They lack the ability to reason for themselves, in a sane manner! Now, just stop and think, if they only think of you as FOOLS. Then that means that they don’t think much of you period, and so, how could they honestly have your best interests at heart? In other words, you are being used solely as pawns just to further their goals, and they really could care less about what happens to you in the long term. Another very interesting facet of Ayn Rand was, she was a rigid proponent of the right of women to have abortions! I’ll bet that very few of you knew that, but if you did, and continued to preach your Right to Life views, and all while you were supporting Ayn Rand’s philosophies, then you are nothing more than the true definition of a hypocrite!
Your Party has purposely destroyed our economy, and just to put themselves in the position to say, look, we warned all of you that Ayn Rand’s Novel Atlas Shrugged would come to pass, and low and behold it has, but in truth, only because of their intentional fiscal irresponsibilities of the past four decades, and malice intentions of making it happen! They want a two-class society in this country, and will stop at nothing to make that a reality! The Creators and the Parasites!
So, hopefully all of the Conservative Christian’s will finally wakeup, and realize that they’ve been made fools of, before it’s too late, so as, we all don’t become slaves to the prestigious 1 percent! A Plutocracy form of government is knocking on our door, if they don’t wakeup!
your a sick twisted individual, are you having kool-aid with obama later ?
Obama is in bed with the the middle east, and they hate the US, and want us dead. Vote for Love of your country. Vote Christian. The Dems get up and talk about women's rights and being able to marry the one they love. Why don't they just say, "we want to be able to murder our unborn babies, and be sodomized." Oh yeah, "and we don't need to include God." So stop asking for Christians to vote for Obama.
"Vote Christian"? That is disgusting. Why don't you come out and say what you mean?
Just as a point of reference, if you are being sodomized...you usually aren't getting pregnant. Pervert.
talking about same sex marriage also. Duhhh. Pervert??? I'm quoting the Dems! Lol!
EXCELLENT INTELLECTUAL argument, but most Republicans cannot grasp it. They want to believe in their party's lies while this country is being scoured of its wealth by the 1%. Just to clarify AYN RAND was an ATHEIST who PAUL RYAN worshipped and swore allegiance to... until he came under scrutiny by national media... the usual FLIP-FLOP FLIP-FLOP of the ROBney/LyinRyan ticket... but, be warned they absolutely WILL voucherize Medicare and run it into bankruptcy by 2016; they WILL ban contraception and abortion so if anyone has a 12-year old daughter who is RAPED, Paul Ryan believes it is just another form of conception" so plan on keeping the rapist's baby. Woman who want to use contraception could go to JAIL for breaking the law - doctors could go to JAIL for breaking the law. R&R believe woman are NOT entitled to equal pay for equal work that a man does. Romney wants to throw $2 TRILLION at the military without explaining how to pay for it or what it's for (it's for profits, baby). A HUGE tax break for the wealthy even BIGGER than what Bush did - Bush gave typical Americans $0, $300 or $600, but gave millionaires $165,000 on the average. DADT will be reinstated with the military and the "small" government Republicans will BAN gay marriage in a national amendment. PUBLIC education will continue to be gutted by Republicans while they divert PUBLIC funds to PRIVATE charter schools which DO NOT produce significantly better education. The federal government has been SHRINKING since Obama took office even though Republicans continuously LIE that he is growing government. ROBney promised to eliminate "unnecessary" programs like PBS to offset borrowing from China. Ryan voted for 91% of the BUSH era spending spree and NEVER mentioned the deficit... until Obama took office. Ryan and a small group of leading Republicans met and pledged to JUST SAY NO to EVERYTHING Obama tried to do to make him appear not to be a productive president. Clinton was filibustered his entire eight years, but OBAMA has been filibustered to a NEW RECORD HIGH - in four years.
Just a little FYI: Obama WAS born in Hawaii and even if he was born in Siberia, he is still an American citizen since his mother is from KANSAS - got that, Dorothy? NOBODY has asked ROBney for his birth certificate and since his grandfather evaded American law (Romney tradition) by leaving the country to keep FIVE WIVES, how do we know Romney isn't Mexican?
ALL Republican presidential hopefuls agreed Romney could change his position on ANY issue with a breeze. Newt called him a LIAR.
Obama created more jobs in LESS THAN four years than Bush did in EIGHT YEARS! OK, all you clever right wingnuts - google your black little hearts out and get over your FAUX NOOSE channel LIES! Funny, us progressives and liberals don't start name calling and getting nasty til you bring it on - and there's WAY more of us. Sorry if educated, intelligent people intimidate you. Learn to read and look up the facts instead of listening to birdbrains like Hannity, Rush and Bill O'Reilly! Come out of your bubble and join the real world. I've been watching these elections since Kennedy and I've seen Tricky Dick (Nixon) and Mr. Teflon (Reagan), Read My Lips (Daddy Bush) and "Mission Accomplished" (Bush Jr.). What a racket the Republican party's been running since I was a kid. TAX BREAKS will get JOB CREATORS to INVEST and CREATE NEW JOBS... PUH-LEEZ!
They just don't stop with the propaganda! They're already setting up the racial bias cr#p for the loss. Obama, just accept the fact that more Americans than not are FED up with your garbage and leave Washington with some kind of dignity.
But not with the silverware.
Yes, take your ugly dress with the flowers too.
Who's paying for Obama's rabid dog wife to fly around the country talking trash ?
We are because they insist it's not campaigning lol
The campaign pays for the use of the planes...although nowhere near what it costs. You know, its funny. I never hear Democrats calling Ann a "rabid dog". You are a class act.
FORWARD! Go Obama/Biden 2012.
Our GOP-led Congress has been passed the lest bills compared from most of the previous terms of Congress. They are the most reluctant congressional staff to pass bills, and they are so defiant that they enjoy to delay bills being discussed on the floor. And the reason is only one: the presidential election 2012.
President Obama and his party have been trying to pass the bills, so the veterans have funding to help them to get back on their feet, as some of them are already returning from war, and so the firefighters have a better healthcare benefits . . . But that is all got hold up for the presidential election year 2012.
The GOP-led Congress has spent more time to repeal the OBAMA Healthcare Reform, about 38 times, and one time, at least, is held in the court. All this time has been focused to one bill, and but the demented GOP-led Congress have forgotten there are more than just one Healthcare bill that they have to work with. Ask ourselves how come this Congress has passed so lesser bills than any other terms of Congress.
The obvious answer that we know is presidential election year.
When Romney has finally realized that he really had to get out "the change" message, which is less than 2 weeks, how come a president candidate at the end of his campaign trail just realized "the change"?!
May it be too late? And what that means he has agreed President Obama's leadership and direction, but Romney just would like to change his SEAT, from the basement of his son's home to the White House.
We all would like to have a seat in the White House. But we have to make a rational choice that President Obama has found the problems and he has already started the change, and we cannot just let the GOP-led Congress continually manipulate the courses of our present and future.
President Obama is not a preacher, but he is a thinker, and he takes actions, not just saying but engaging. In his four years, he has ended one war, including the other war going to be ended in 2014, and has gotten bin Laden and has set two nations free, without sending any troops, i.e. Egypt and Libya, and has eyed for the future, such as green energy, and has not jilted the state and local governments, such as when disaster comes, he refuses to pass the button to the state and local to take care of themselves, such as Sandy disaster . . .
But after the Sandy, Romney has said that he would prefer to let the state and local to take care of themselves. He has almost tried to get rid of FEMA! Romney has never elaborated any detail, how can the state and local to handle such kind of disaster, just like the tax cut and solving the other societal issues that he has no detail, which is a foggy business, no elaboration of his solution or approach.
Vote for President Obama, and it is a conscientious vote, a vote for our present, a vote for our future, a vote for not sending jobs outside USA, a vote for re-training our work force for the transition of the 21st century, a vote for ourselves, a family that Romney has forgotten . . .
Please re-elect President Obama/Biden 2012.
FORWARD! Go OBAMA/BIDEN 2012.
Not this time.............
Drop dead bro, I ain't buying your sh!!!t or obama's, good bye Barry
"Puerto Rican-born Ricky Martin." That is an interesting way of describing Ricky Martin's birth status. If it weren't for the fact that I know that Puerto Ricans are all American-born, I would think that being Puerto Rican-born implies you are a foreigner.
Amen Brother
Yet, back in 2006, when George W. Bush increased debt limits, Obama had this to say:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills…Instead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next five years…Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ABO in 2012; Anybody (including the house cat) But Obama.
Anyone tell me the third choice for president? No liars, no bs'ers someone who can HONESTLY get the job done? We don't have one yet!
Mrs Obama and her husband are so incredibly divisive. I live Florida and waited in line for over an hour to vote early. The line was made up of blacks, whites, new americans, hispanics, and some asians. Nobody tried to push anyone anywhere to suggest that Americans cannot stand in line together show how these two see everything through a racially skewed glass. I find both of them insulting. They constantly try to divide all of us. They have sent America backwards faster than anyone I know. We weren't in line not interacting. We were talking about the weather, where our kids were in school, where we came from etc. We all want what is best for our country. Mrs. Obama and her racism make me so sad. She cannot look at me as a woman. She is looking at me as a Republican or Democrat, or being white, or with prejudice. I don't think we looked at her as anyone but the first lady, a mother, a wife, a lawyer etc. I didn't try to read anything else into that until she basically threw the knife in the sand and accused anyone who doesn't agree with her of being a bully. She and her husband have become bullies.
Let's just go ahead and start the next Civil War. One thing that I see clearly now is that the two parties in this country can no longer co-exist. The left is trying to evolve. The Right is trying to go back in time. And we aren't gonna change each other's minds. No one in their 'right' mind can't clearly see that Corporate America has bought the Republican Party with the hopes of turning the entire country into a Coal mining Colony the likes of which were dominant in the 30's. They have vilified Teachers, Firemen, anyone in a Union. I hope they all remember that when they never get another raise. They have 'Globalized' the economy so they can get the cheapest labor possible regardless of what that does to our Economy. They hide behind 'Hard Work', 'Love of Country', and whatever else ignorant hillbillies will rally behind to assure they are able to bleed this Country dry. If you're a Republican, you are either Stupid, Rich, or Evil, and let's be honest, Racist. Which sounds sort of crazy, but that's the only rational I can come up with for explaining how half this nation can possibly Vote for an elitist, silver-spooned, nonsense spewing chauvinist C.E.O. like Romney and that Anti-Christ of a VP Candidate Ryan. And it's only gonna get worse and worse and worse. Wait 'til Ryan runs in 2016. Republicans will be killing their own parents cause they're 'bilking' from the system. Although we may not see it. Cause if Romney does win we are at war with Iran by March. This is just sickening…. So let's just get it started, cause I'm pretty sure you Reps don't wanna hear from me, and I know for sure that us Dems don't wanna hear from you.
Well, one good sign, Romney is drawing huge crowds and enthusiam. On the other hand, our illustrious President has to pull in Pit Bull (class), Bruce Springstein, and Jay-Zee ("you b*tches keep your mouths shut"), in order to gain any interest. Heck, Obama is having to get Bill Clinton to do his bidding and reverting back to Fleetwood Mac! Hey thats "Forward" for you!
Hey, young single female voters, voting Obama and supporting Bill Clinton's endorsement? Why? There, but for the grace of God, you or your daughter, could be the next Monica L.
I applied today for a work visa for Canada. In three yrs I can become a citizen. Thank God! Bye Bye NY and the "new USA". If either of u ever become normal again, hich wont happen, call me. I'll be fishing for bass! It has not been fun. This is not life. I would compare it to being in prison.
Romney knows the main things that are important - the economy, the education, the health care - the last two from his experience as MA governor. Obama in contrast showed he is essentially an empty suit – a marginally successful community organizer , marginal academic accidentally put into White House. He maybe is OK as a local politician or a University prof but the US presidency is well above his pay scale. Americans made a big mistake in 2008. If they repeat it again they will only have themselves to blame.
Obama is another Jimmy Carter. America cannot afford the repeat of history and have an incompetent president for another 4 years.
Obama claims that he is to help middle class and Romney is for the rich. The irony is that under Obama the corporations did quite well but the middle class suffered. The US corporate profits and the stock market have both already recovered to 2007 level, and the companies sit on more than $2 trillion in cash. But the middle class family income is down from $55K to $50K. So the reality is that Obama presidency expanded the class of welfare dependents and public sector workers and helped the rich recover their losses. But the majority of middle class Americans got nothing good from him. Obama is anything but the middle class champion.
Oh you go girl! Flap that fat %#@# around and you tell them. You worthless community organizer. What have you done for America besides enjoy our White House. That's right it belongs to the people and you can pack your bags cause your heading back to the streets of Chicago. Maybe Axlerod will take you in or Rev Wright. Maybe Mayor Dead Fish will give you comfort and a place to stay and let you clean his toilets.
You'll still have more than most of the poor folks on the East Coast whom your husband did his photo op with then left!
Who built the white house? The white house is not just for white people who want to destroy the rest of Americans. We all have a right. God sees all and you can not follow Romney speaking like you are. You should think like a mormon. wake up.
Sure he can just like romney remember 47%
Its a shame before God to cheat and pay people to break the law. Romney want this so bad he owns the voting machines in Ohio. How sad is that and if nobody believes it. keep reading. Here is some of the story.
THE ROMNEY FAMILY & BAIN:
HAVE CONTROLLING OWNERSHIP OF VOTING MACHINES IN OHIO, AND OTHER KEY STATES.
Mitt Romney, Ann Romney, son Tagg, and Romney's brother George, are major investors in H.I.G. Capital.
H.I.G. Capital holds a majority share of the voting machine company Hart Intercivic - whose machines will COUNT the OHIO ballots this election.
These voting machines cannot be monitored by the public.
While the media touts Ohio & Cincinatti as ground zero in this election, we're NOT hearing the truth - that the Romneys own these key voting machines.
It has happened before.On election night 2004, between 12:20 and 2 am: There was a "statistically impossible" 6% swing to G.W. Bush of 300,000 votes, giving him a second term of office. Instead of a recount solution, election records were destroyed in 56 of 88 Ohio counties, in defiance of a federal injunction.
I.T. security expert Stephen Spoonamore, concluded that "a man in the middle" computer design was used to pull off the vote switch. This design allowed a third party to alter the data illegally, by intercepting computer transmissions.
Well make sure you pay all your IRS tax, Obama has a new law now in Obamacare that is if you owe the IRS money you can't leave the USA. It was in that part were you have to passed it before you can read it you know.
There is no such law in Obamacare.
Yes, it is in there. Fact.....If the IRS just SAYS you owe them money (no trial, no hearing), you are not allowed to leave the country because they revoke your passport......
Well I must say you're right, but
A new bill making its way through Congress could allow the federal government to prevent Americans who owe back taxes from leaving the country.
The provision is part of Senate Bill 1813, which was introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in November and passed by the Senate on March 14 “to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes.”
Those “other purposes” have come to include a little-known amendment recently introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would allow the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”
While the provision does make exceptions if the debt “is being paid in a timely manner” or “in emergency circumstances or for humanitarian reasons,” it doesn’t require that a person be charged with tax evasion before having their passport revoked -- only that the IRS has filed a notice of lien or levy against them.
Constitutional Attorney Angel Reyes says that’s a violation of due process and is unconstitutional.
Our President said that he would bring the nation together. That did not work.
Our President said that he could work with the opposition party by reaching across the isle. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be free from lobbyists. That did not work.
Our President said that his administration would be the most transparent ever. That did not work.
Our President said that he would fix the economy within three years. That did not work.
Our President said that his health care bill would lower health care costs. That did not work.
Our President said that he would not raise taxes on 95% of Americans in any way. That did not work.
Our President said that his stimulus spending bill would solve our employment problem. That did not work.
Our President said that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That did not work.
Our President has provided an economic "plan" for the next 4 years that is mathematically impossible. That cannot work.
I see a pattern here. Our President said that if he could not fix the economy within three year that he did not deserve a second term.
#1 didn't work thanks to the white republicans who made sure of that. and listen to you now.
#2 they do not want a black boss, so they sit back and watch us suffer and get paid
Its just a shame how you people find so much wrong with Obama, but never had a problem with Bush or Chain-man. How sad and raciest you people are
Ah,,there it is, the race card when you have no intelligent defense of your man obama....
you people??? when white people use that , we are being raciest.......what is it when black people use it?
