Michelle Obama To Headline Nashville Fundraiser Thursday

By Kleinheider Posted on May 11, 2008 at 8:15 pm

Ken Whitehouse breaks the news that First Lady-in-waiting and vigorous opponent of a “dream ticket”, Michelle Obama, will be headlining an afternoon fundraiser right here in Music City for her husband’s presidential campaign on Thursday, May 15th. The shindig is set to be held at the home of Cyndee and Jerry Martin.

Mr. Martin, an attorney at the firm of Barrett, Johnston & Parsley, previously served as David Briley’s finance chairman for his 2007 Mayoral run and in 2002 was the campaign finance director for Jim Cooper’s inaugural 5th District Congressional campaign.

Why do the spouses have to get so involved? I think its kind of ridiculous.

Because we as wives (or husband’s in Hillary’s case) support our spouses. We are there when they need us and they do the same for us. I would hope you have a spouse that would do that for you. I know that I do.

I’m glad Obama is choosing to keep a foot in Tennessee. Kerry wrote us off and look where it got him. At least we know Mrs. Obama won’t fake a Southern accent like Hillary tends to!
