Edith Childs will be sitting with Michelle Obama during the State of the Union

From the WSJ

When President Barack Obama makes his final State of the Union address Tuesday, one of the guests seated in the box of first lady Michelle Obama will be Edith Childs. Mrs. Childs enjoyed a brief period of fame when, at an early Obama campaign stop in South Carolina in 2007, she energized the small crowd by starting the chant, “Fired up! Ready to go!”

That became something of a rallying cry for Mr. Obama’s presidential campaign and aptly captured the excitement that accompanied his historic victory run.

and supported him (you dont need to have worked on his campaign, just be on the record supporting him).

Given the obstruction and the condition the nation was in when he took over, he has been a tremendous success, a monumental figure in our history, yet to be written.

There is so so so much more he could have done were half the nation not dedicated to destroying him and those who voted for him.
