GREENVILLE, S.C.—Barack Obama has finished many a speech with the cry Fired Up! Ready to Go. On Tuesday afternoon, Obama travels to Greenwood, S.C. for a rally in the home of Edith Childs, a county councilwoman whose trademark cheerleading cry Obama borrowed for his presidential campaign.

Lynn, even your by-line smacks of sensationalism and anti-Obama sentiment -- "Obama meets up w/ woman. . ." Give me a break! How about "Obama meets the Woman who. . .[or] Fired Up. . .Ready to Go Creator Meets Obama. . .[or] Obama Travels to Greenwood to Meet Creator of. . ."
