Michelle Obama comes to Caroline County
First Lady Michelle Obama is expected this afternoon in the sleepy town of Bowling Green, to headline a ribbon cutting ceremony for a small health care practice that was able to expand thanks to the boost from federal Stimulus funds.
As you can tell from the photo above, interest and security is already pretty high. Many people who support and oppose Barack Obama‘s health care initiatives are here hoping to catch a glimpse of his wife. Although they are hopeful, it appears that only invited guests will be the only ones who get very close to Mrs. Obama. Those buses you see on the left hand side of the photo are surrounding the perimeter of the facility and are acting like a shield to protect the Obama entourage.
I will keep you updated on her visit throughout the day and we will have a live report tonight on NBC12 news at 5:30 and 6.
After the jump you will find the video from my 6pm live report on the FLOTUS visit to Central Virginia.
THANKS TO THE FREE LANCE STAR SAYING THAT IT WAS PUBLIC.

This event was so not a public event at all. In fact the public was blatantly ignored. Thanks Michelle. Boo to you Obama.

Boo to the press. This was never to be a public event. Face it, your issues are not about it being a public event.
