Michelle Obama to address Baptist group in Cincinnati
Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, will be in Cincinnati on Wednesday, Sept. 10, to speak to the National Baptist Convention.
The group is the nation’s oldest and largest African-American religious convention with an estimated membership of 7.5 million, according to its Web site.
She will speak about the faith and values that have driven Obama as a father, husband and public servant, according to the Obama campaign.
Mrs. Obama also will discuss her husband’s belief that the great challenges our country faces require more than just government action — the change we need also depends on the important role of faith organizations, strong families, and strong communities, the campaign said.
More information on her appearance will be available later, the Obama campaign said.

Obama to campaign at Stebbins High School
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will return to the Dayton area on Tuesday, Sept. 9, to campaign at Stebbins High School in Riverside.
The event in the school gymnasium is to start about 10:30 a.m. and attendance is by invitation, the Obama campaign said.
Obama will campaign in the high school gym about the same time Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, will hold a rally in front of The Golden Lamb restaurant in Lebanon.
It will be Obama’s eighth Ohio campaign swing since Hillary Clinton conceded the Democratic nomination to him on June 7.
