Michelle Obama spoke to an impressive crowd of supporters in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Wednesday. With the uncertain futures of America’s lending institutions looming over the political environment, Michelle talked about her and Barack’s own struggles with heavy debt from student loans:
She told about 1,000 people at the Grand Wayne Convention Center that she and her husband had large student loan debts after attending college. She said she believed the economic policies of the Bush administration had threatened the country’s middle class.
Barack Obama gets it. He gets it because he’s lived it. Don’t we want someone in the White House who knows what it’s like to carry a little debt?
Like Barack and Michelle, we live with the realities and responsibilities of student debt, but we deserve a real commitment, and real leadership from Washington to help ease our burden. Senator Obama has demonstrated his priorities in his plan to make college affordable for every student.
Toward the end of her remarks, Michelle encouraged supporters to volunteer their time and efforts in the final push toward November 4th, and to take advantage of early voting in the state, to help avoid crowds and complications at the polls on Election Day. Remember, every vote in every state will make a difference, including yours.
Help turn Indiana blue. Join Indiana for Obama today, and pledge to vote early.
