Obama Celebrates Mother's Day Off the Trail
From CBS News' Michelle Levi:
CHICAGO -- Barack Obama is taking the day off from campaigning to celebrate Mother's Day with his wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Melia. The family is visiting the home of the girls' godparents in Chicago today.
As for church, Obama told reporters yesterday that he would not be attending services at the Trinity United Church of Christ today.
"I am not going to burden the church at the moment with my presence and as a consequence your presence," he said, referring to the media attention the church has recieved since the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy.
"I think it's important for the church to be able to worship in fellowship especially on Mother's Day, which has some of the biggest attendance of the year without the distractions of a presidential campaign," Obama added.
The campaign will head to West Virginia tomorrow where Obama will make, most likely, his only appearance there prior to the primary there on Tuesday. He has a campaign event in Charleston, W.V. before heading to a rally in Louisville, Ky.
Meantime, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., announced to the St. Louis Post Gazette yesterday that on Tuesday, Obama will visit Missouri, a key swing state in the general election where he'll likely hold an economic town hall meeting in the rural town of Cape Girardeau.

The secrets of tennis legend 
And now there is a ruling about a Lawrence Sinclair by Judge Kennedy, related to statements about Obama? What will that turn out to be?
Then I read things to the effect that Mrs. Obama has screamed at him over his appeal to women? Do we want a screamer attending state dinners? What of this is true and what is not?
Obama is not fully vetted and has no accomplishments of note to date.
I agree that if Obama wins the Democratic nomination the Republicans will win the White House and the shirttail results could be that they increase their numbers in the House and the Senate too, on McCain''''s coattails.
This is a train wreck the Superdelegates can fix. Why don''''t they?
What else don''''t we know about Obama?
Obama is not electable. You can bet the Republicans will be bringing all of these things up over and over.
