Michelle Obama to lend star power to Biden

[George II]

Source: The Hill

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is planning a rollout for Michelle Obama’s endorsement, although there are questions around just how public a role the enormously popular former first lady will play in his campaign.

Sources tell The Hill that the Biden campaign’s early plans include a focus on remote fundraising and voter registration efforts.

The trick for Michelle Obama and the Biden campaign is finding the right balance for the pop culture icon, who could be a massive asset for the campaign but has never shown much enthusiasm for campaign politics.

"This week was President Obama's moment to enter the campaign. Of course Mrs. Obama supports Joe Biden and we will keep you posted on her plans," an Obama aide said.

4. Truly, "a battle for the soul of America."

One type of soul cares deeply about each other (WE).

The other cares largely--or only--about oneself (ME).

Just what IS the dominant character trait of our complex American society? That's an open question. Troubling that it must be asked.

In November we will find out which asserts itself.
