M. Obama Urges Voters To Watch First WH Debate

Michelle Obama issued a two-minute message today urging voters to gather with friends Friday evening to watch the first televised presidential debate. She says many people still don't know Barack Obama's positions on issues from health care to education.

M. Obama: "They also don't know that John McCain shares many of George Bush's views. In fact, he's voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time. Including not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class."
