Michelle Obama Visits Church HQ

Obama w/ Apostles

Mrs. Michelle Obama met with two apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today shortly after a campaign stop in Salt Lake City on behalf of her husband, Senator Barack Obama.

Mrs. Obama met with Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder Quentin L. Cook, of the Twelve Apostles.

STYLES make fights — or so goes the boxing cliché. In 2008, they make presidential campaigns, too.

This is especially true for the two remaining Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Reporters covering the candidates have already resorted to traditional analysis of style — fashion choices, manner of speaking, even the way they laugh.

Fox News Documentary: George W. Bush is SO like Abraham Lincoln

I sit here, even minutes later, in disbelief at the following video. However, no one should be totally surprised that a network like Fox News could come up with something illogical and far from reality. So here you are, an explanation on how George W. Bush is known for giving “some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President,” just like the Gettysburg Address!

The Gen Y Vote

Please share this information with your friends and supporters. We’d love to hear from you during the show. Listeners can call in at 801-585-9378 or participate on our on-line discussion board.

It may go against conventional wisdom about the Millennials, but a recent Time Magazine poll found that 7 out of 10 Americans under-30 are paying attention to the presidential race. And the candidates are taking notice. They’re talking about issues like predatory student lending and global climate change - priorities for young voters. Monday, we’re looking at the Youth Vote - and what difference it will make in the 2008 election.

Are you under 30 and eligible to vote? Will you? What are you hearing from the candidates that addresses your concerns? Be part of the conversation on our on-line discussion board:
