Brenda Lee Eager sang with soul as sumptuous cuisine was served. Michael Stautmanis, senior counsel for Obama America flew to Los Angeles to enlighten the crowd on the campaign’s focus.
“It’s no time to rest on your laurels,” he said. “The opponent's attacks are getting more vicious every day. They're throwing the stove, refrigerator, and even unbolting the kitchen sink.”
Michael Stautmanis clarified Obama’s tax cuts for 95% of businesses under $250,000, and his plan for medical care for all Americans. He noted how the opponents had twisted the message. “We cannot rest because of the polls,” he emphasized."We have to get out and vote!"
Michael is a young legal mind who resides in Chicago, and has known Michelle and Barack Obama for 20 years. At poolside, he told how he met the Obamas while knocking on doors in a large Chicago law firm. None of them opened for him. But from behind one of those doors, Michelle Obama, Obama’s fiancée at the time, appeared. From that day on, they mentored him. So Michael knows first hand the truth of Barack Obama. "He is a man who loves God, family, and country."
Who could better share the Obama's story against vicious attacks than someone who has known him for twenty years? “That’s how they will care for the American people,” he said, “all people.” While sharing another anecdotes of Barack Obama’s compassion and integrity, the crowd found itself nodding in agreement to work for the very last vote.
