Michelle Obama to kids: Tell grandparents they are 'wrong' for not voting for my husband | Campaign 2012 - Mid-Ohio's Talk Station, 1340 WNCO-AM

Michelle Obama to kids: Tell grandparents they are 'wrong' for not voting for my husband | Campaign 2012 - Mid-Ohio's Talk Station, 1340 WNCO-AM: Michelle Obama, who has quickly become the Obama campaign’s tip of the spear when it comes to fundraising and vote-getting, is now stumping for children to convince their “great-grandparents” to vote for her husband. At an event at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park – for which tickets cost at least $500 – Michelle said:

I mean, I can’t tell you in the last election how many grandparents I ran into who said, I wasn’t going to vote for Barack Obama until my grandson talked to me, until my great-grandson talked to me, and talked about the future he wanted for this country.

You can get out there with your parents. You guys can knock on doors. I had one young lady who brought me a petition — she’s already working. You can convince wrong people. Sometimes we don’t listen to ourselves, but we will listen to our children.
