A big part of being president is making decisions, and one of the key decisions a would-be president can make is who he or she marries.
The Democratic candidate is turning to the Web to disprove the rumors about his faith, his family and his patriotism
Michelle and Barack Obama knocked knuckles as he took the stage to claim the Democratic presidential nomination, bringing new attention to the high-five's celebratory successor

The candidate's wife has been there for support. Now, increasingly, she's on the stump with fighting words
If the advisers around Sen. Barack Obama want to continue to delude themselves into thinking they have lots of time for black voters to get around to figuring out their candidate's record on issues they care about, then the latest CNN poll surely must be the kind of slap in the face to bring them back to reality.
