1. I see no reason to disagree

2. That's probably true for all first ladies ever!

Although I don't imagine first ladies even made speeches
for a long time, and I never really heard Eleanor Roosevelt
give a speech, but I admire her like no other.

6. Eleanor did some good ones, under pressure;

they're available, been looking for them, one in particular.

3. Yes, he's probably never heard, neither have any of us but

been looking for an historical speech of Eleanor Roosevelt, when she was 'forced' into a speech and she did very well.

[BeyondGeography]

4. It was one of the best speeches ever, period.

I will never forget it.

10. +1,000

5. It was a barn-burner alright. A whole evening full of barn-burners, for that matter.

Our First Lady was a GREAT closer tonight! Must have hurt chuck todd (my husband calls him Fuck Turd) to have to gush about it. But that's all you can do after her speech. Once you catch your breath, that is.

IMPRESSIVE!!!!! Al Sharpton: "I even saw steve schmidt clapping under the table!"

7. Would have loved seeing Steve doing that.

8. She believes in what she is saying.

And she believes in the audience she is addressing.

Sincerity counts for a lot.

9. In the context of candidate Hillary not FL Hillary

but 08's convention speech was perhaps the greatest convention speech ever.

By anyone.

Ever.

What she said bears remembering . . . It is not about the person, it is about the ideas. And she did it under extreme circumstances also.

11. i called my aunt after the speech

and we were talking...


we've both heard the first lady speak, but this speech was something else...man oh man
she had us both in tears.

this speech was her best I've ever seen.
