Michelle Obama meets with Elders Ballard and Cook

4 February 2008 @ 6:02 pm | 6 comments

Barack Obama’s Saturday Utah visit may have been thwarted due to President Hinckley’s funeral, but the Obama campaign has not given up on Utah.  Michele Obama met today with Elders Ballard and Cook.

Although the Church is neutral in party politics, it is common for political and government leaders to pay brief calls on Church leadership. The half-hour meeting focused mostly on family values.

A busy day at temple sqaure. Plus, Elders Ballard and Cook seem to be the politics/Church public affairs duo of the Twelve.

    So, David, are you thinking of voting for Obama (if he is Dem nominee as I hope) if the GOP ticket is McCain/Huckabee? Converts are welcome.

    Thanks for the offer Chris. Ha ha ha.

    Among those three, I like Obama the best personally but he’s the farthest away from me on issues.

    Although McCain is closer to me on the issues (somewhat), I’m afraid of all the damage he could do, maybe more than Obama or Clinton as a “Nixon in China.” So I’d think of not voting.

    But the mere thought of new Supreme Court nominees makes me realize that’s crazy talk.

    So I’m torn but would probably vote for McCain when common sense returns.
