Michelle Obama ELECTRIFIES Delaware!
Michelle Obama ELECTRIFIES Delaware!

OH. MY. GOD.

I just got back from seeing Michelle Obama at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. INCREDIBLE. I had no idea she was this amazing!

The house was PACKED, every seat was taken and more were watching from the next room. The room was EN FUEGO. It was my first time attending a rally of this magnitudem and I was absolutely blown away.

How great is Michelle Obama as a speaker? Let me put it this way: Off the charts. Better than most of our sitting governors and senators. Better than Hillary Clinton, even!

If Michelle is coming to your area, DO. NOT. MISS. IT. She's more than just a potential first lady - she's dynamite in and of herself. Definitely a woman worthy of carrying the Obama message across the country.

Themes of the speech

12. Does what?
I think people only had a problem when Bill started attacking Barack and distorting his record. I haven't seen any argument that Bill should not campaign for his wife.

16. Has anyone ever suggested that Bill shouldn't speak on HRC's behalf?
The problem is her campaign is running on HIS record, and the implicit promise of bringing HIM back.

It's very common for candidate's spouses to campaign for them so you are seeing a double standard where none exists.

25. Michelle never said anything about HRC was a "fairy tale"...
Nor did she lie about what her position on the war was several years ago.

18. are you denying Micheles wal mart link?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/05/13/wobama13.xml
"She is taking a break from her main job, as a well-remunerated Chicago hospital executive, to campaign for her husband. But she has just been re-elected to the board of an Illinois food-processing company, a position she took up two years ago to gain experience of the private sector.

And the biggest customer for the pickles and peppers produced by Treehouse Foods is the retail giant Wal-Mart, the world's largest corporation and the bête noire of American liberals, including Sen Obama, for its employment practices, most notably its refusal to recognise trade unions"

Hate to bore you with classless facts...

17. Chick?
That is really sexist. Michelle is a strong, successful, independent woman.

29. Oh come on now..the Obama women have made talk like this OK now
by saying its OK to use against Hillary.
I have heard women for Obama call Hillary everything including a certain word that begins with "C" and rhymes with runt.
they titter and giggle with glee..until the same language they use against Hillary is used against them.
They participated in opening this can of worms..they deserve to live with it.

32. You have not explained
why you personally feel comfortable using such language. You are just arguing that two wrongs make a right.

11. Yep, I love her too
She is so warm and funny and down to earth, but inspiring and lofty at the same time. She is terrific in every way. They are exactly who we need in our house at this point in history.

27. I thought FDR did that! Seriously, Michelle is great. I've seen a few speeches on Cspan,
she's smart and real. If Barack wins the nomination I'd love to see her debate a repug.

30. You know, until JRE dropped out of the race...
...one of the main reasons I did not support Obama was Michelle Obama. I watched her give a speech awhile back on how she made it through law school and she really, really turned me off. She made a big deal out of being a lawyer. I don't like things like this. I am a lawyer and I worked my way through law school...but I never saw it as any big thing or anything that was that special. I just have a talent for taking bullshit tests and bullshitting...
