Michelle Obama Rallies Democrats In Stamford
Praises Blumenthal's accomplishments, and her husband's
STAMFORD--The 1,500 red velvet seats of the Palace Theater were filled well before the star arrived. Folks had waited in line for hours to get in, and a low buzz of anticipation filled the hall.
Then Michelle Obama took the stage, and it was like 2008 all over again.
"This election isn't just about all we've accomplished," said Obama to the roaring crowd. "It's about all we have left to do in the months and years ahead. This election is about the future!"
The First Lady was in Connecticut to lend her star power to Richard Blumenthal and other Democrats fighting to the midterm election finish line. They're fighting a wave of dissatisfaction with the Democratic party and, in particular, with President Obama.
For those feeling pressure to shed any connection to an unpopular stimulus bill , health care reform and a president with a job approval rate hovering at around 46 percent, the rally Monday seemed a welcome oasis for unapologetic Obama fever.
