Michelle Obama hit Charlotte NC yesterday morning!

Michelle Obama listens to personal takes on economy

Democratic presidential hopeful's wife holds Charlotte roundtable to explain her husband's plans on issues facing working families.

She listened to a grandmother forced to get a job when her retirement dollars didn't stretch. To a teacher with multiple sclerosis who can't get on most health insurance plans. To a single mother of six who is burdened by debt.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Since, I am late posting "This Week" and just getting back in town, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. A few things first:

Now this is how you get the Bush Tax Cuts to work for you.

After reading another juicy joint from politico, we have The McCains and trying to weave through their money thing.

Nick Benton runs syndicated columnists in the Falls Church News Press, and one of the regulars is Maureen Dowd. Lot's of time she ticks me off 'cause I really dislike her kind of snide commentary, however in this case... She makes some good points on a topic that really gets me mad--how the hate machine is going after Michelle Obama. And I am truly nonpartisan on this subject. I definitely think that Laura Bush, as opposed to her husband, definitely does show a human side sometimes. Yeah I know it is kept carefully hidden.
Anyway, I suggest you give her piece a read. The title is Mincing Up Michelle. Nick ran it in this weeks paper, but it originally aired on June 11.
