ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — First lady Michelle Obama is trying to fire up downtrodden Democrats fearing big midterm losses by trying to recapture their excitement from two years ago.

Michelle Obama spent the second day of her midterm campaign swing in suburban Denver. The first lady was there to stump for a Democratic senator from Colorado facing a tough re-election contest next month – but she spent most of her remarks talking about two years ago.

Obama reminded donors about the excitement they felt in 2008. Then she told the crowd, "This is the hard part."

Obama's Colorado speech came after a stop in Chicago, where she cast an early ballot. Obama heads next to California, and she also has campaign stops planned in Connecticut and Washington state.

View All Recency  |  Popularity photo suzc   0 minute ago (5:55 PM) 164 Fans Since the lunch was a closely guarded secret, private invitation only, I really am not interested. The Dems I want to see are those who are NOT elitist. The ones like Obama said he was when he was running. (What's Howard Dean doing these days?) When "ordinary" Americans cannot afford to buy access, even a fleeting glimpse, of their favorite politician (or wife), when only the very rich are invited or can afford to attend, there is no such thing as democracy. Just which party has the most billionaire activists. Then neither party is important to the lower 98%.

Bennett is not in touch with Colorado, not with voters, not even with Dems, much less with independents. And millionaires are not going to put Bennett or anyone in office (except for the ones they buy through the US Chamber and other such groups). Bennett is not even polite; he doesn't even respond to requests.

Ken Buck does not have the character or integrity to represent us in Congress but sadly neither does Bennett, for different reasons. And this is apparently our future.
