[elizm]

....in Georgetown, SC where her family is from. It was wonderful... and she was fabulous! :)

1. First Lady of what?

[Faygo Kid]

2. Gotta love the Dem spouses

Elizabeth Edwards, Michelle Obama, and that guy with the gray hair from Hope.

Pretty cool stuff, actually, no matter who you are for.

(Special props here for Dennis Kucinich, who gives hope to all of us dweebs regarding jaw-dropping women.)

9. You got that right, faygokid!

The women are so beautiful inside and out!~

[elizm]

3. BTW...I have all the hatemongers on ignore...

So I won't be seeing any of the hateful posts. :)

[William769]

4. SO that means you won't be able to answer my question about you being dishonest then.

Thats ok. I don't need to point it out for people to see it.

[mahina]

5. Bye now,

aloha.

[William769]

7. SO i guess no one wants to answer the question.

Thats usually what happens with dishonesty.

[zulchzulu]

11. So what's your "question"?

Please respond so this kicks.

:thumbsup:

[William769]

40. What is she first lady of?

ALways glad to give kicks to find out the truth.

6. Rec'd ..this is front page beauty!

I'm so happy for you eliz..that must have been one of the Awesome times of your life, so far! :)

How cool Michele Obama's family is from South Carolina!~

[zulchzulu]

8. Very very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Gobama!

[sandnsea]

10. Beautiful pics

She looks lovely. Seems like it was really an intimate setting. She is really a captivating speaker in her own right. I love when she drops in her little grandma comments. My daughter gets all mad at me for letting her little boy get away with murder too.

[elizm]

20. It was in the local church her grandparents attended...

A large number of her family members there and had not seen her in a very long time. It was a homecoming for her. :)

[Cha]

22. Wow! Thanks for details

of your and Michelle's lovely day in South Carolina. I'm so glad you're down there giving us these personal reports, eliz.

[gateley]

12. I like her SO much! Great pics -- thanks for posting! nt

[Samantha]

14. I have to agree - she is fabulous

I have no candidate in this race thus far. Elizabeth Edwards is also in the same category. It's a good thing the debates do not have the spouses competing, as opposed to the candidates themselves because a competition between these two woman would make the race even too much more closer to call than the one with Hillary and Obama. And to be quite truthful, I am not sure how Bill would fare in a debate against these two, but I do not think the outcome would propel Hillary to an unequivocal number one position.

Obama and Edwards are very astute judges of character.

Sorry, I do not mean to distract from your original theme but I do agree with the thrust of it.You were fortunate to meet such a fine First Lady.

15. Rec'd! I saw her give a speech on CSPAN

2 weeks ago; she was gracious, funny, and patient with all her fans who wanted to chat. I envy you! :hi:

[elizm]

23. She was very gracious....I was thrilled to be able to shake her hand...

And she was very patient trying to speak to as many as she could. I got lucky because our volunteer coordinator for our area introduced me as a volunteer team leader and she was gracious enough to speak with me for a moment and thank me. I LOVE her! :)

[Anouka]

16. That last photo is the clincher.

Couldn't have been taken 60 years ago.

[Cha]

21. I know! It did my heart good

to see that pic!~

[elizm]

36. Unfortunately we have the Bob Johnsons here who want to continue to divide us...

That picture is something he and 'his candidate' fear.

[Cha]

39. Good ol' repuke bob johnson working

for hillary..it figures. If the dark side wins and hillary gets it then this is going to be one divided nation AGAIN>

[elizm]

25. "Believers and hopemongers" :) nt

[elizm]

28. In South Carolina...

Absolutely not. Obama is already bringing real change...And he's not even President yet. Just imagine.... :)

[Olney Blue]

17. I heard her speak on C-SPAN the other day. She is impressive!

Nice pics!

[no name no slogan]

24. Condi Rice is the first lady?

:hide:

[Faygo Kid]

26. Oh, I get it. They're both black! So they look alike! That's really clever.

Side-splitting hilarity. Can't wait for your book to come out.

[flyarm]

27. I met the first lady a long time ago..and she is more than inspiring!! She is a survivor!!

Thank you Elizabeth for showing us people with cancer are productive and can be our hero's!!

and most certainly could and will be our First Lady!!

oh and her husband , the future President was born in South Carolina

[elizm]

30. John Edwards is my second choice...And I will support him wholeheartedly...

..if he is the nominee.

[alteredstate]

37. Same here. n/t

[flpoljunkie]

31. Beautiful, beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing them, elizm!

[Rene]

32. I believe in separation of Church and State.....therefore I would never vote for Obama and spouse.

[shireen]

33. Mrs. Obama is stunning! But "first lady" label is premature. Let's wait till elections are over, OK?

[indimuse]

34. Ahhhh....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are they in a CHURCH? Do we not have laws against this? Is she a Pastor or REv...? This whole thing is just wrong.

[alteredstate]

35. Great pics!

I couldn't attend today, but I'm glad you made it!

By the way, is that one of our local heroes in the fourth photo??

[elizm]

38. YES it is! :) He did a good job today. :)

Sorry you couldn't be there but some of your group came and I was delighted to see them. Hope to see you in Myrtle Beach on the 21st!
