Michelle Obama just knocked it out of the fucking park
WOW

What a beautiful speech. I watched it on tivo, and she literally hit all the right notes.

I have a million thoughts right now, but I'll keep it simple and just say that Michelle Obama knocked it out of the park. What an amazing woman, mother, and wife!

29. Oh.. i don't care at all..
the only thing I care about is seeing him end up in a prison cell for one of the many many laws he's broken. But, i'm not holding my breath. :)

11. I've never seen or heard her give an entire speech
So I had no expectations good or bad. I like her style. She's a really engaging speaker and you can feel the emotion behind her words. Great job!

Maybe even quite a bit better.

20. Just what I said to my spouse--she knocked it outa the park!
Loved it at the end when the girls were waving to Dad on the screen, and one said "Hello, Girardeau family." Wowser! Michelle is amazing. I'm trying to stay awake here on the left coast to watch Jon Stewart and crew at 11:00. I'm wired now, so won't be hard.

Love Michelle--what an awesomely classy lady! Superlatives are failin' me!

22. Exact phrasing I used when my son called to ask me what I thought of her
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 10:37 PM by tblue37
speech.

I have always thought people stretched it when they made the claim that she is unusually beautiful. She is an attractive woman, but not a special beauty. But I realized tonight that when she speaks, she is far prettier than she looks in still shots. She is a charming speaker--and her face, when animated in speech, really is quite pretty.

The little girls are darling, and the older one is already almost scary gorgeous.

24. Did you notice how many people in the audience had tears in
their eyes. I have to admit, I had to pull out a tissue myself. Nice job, Michelle.

30. I didn't have much mascara left on my lashes after Teddy
...but the little that remained is now gone since Michelle's speech. Just wow. I've always admired Michelle, but she just reached another level tonight that I didn't believe existed. I'm in awe.

33. 540 foot shot to right center
and she lowered her head and jogged around the bases. Didn't give them anything to the opposition, and some from the opposition will HAVE to give her respect.

44. Yeah, right. She could have cured cancer up there and
David Brooks would say she "missed an opportunity," and other right wing tools would trot out their same irrational criticisms.

It doesn't matter what she and Obama do; the right wing idiots will always criticize them for it. There's no pleasing some people.

45. When you speak from your heart, the connection is made and
she connected. Nothing phony or pretentious....I think she impressed all the talking heads.

She is going to make a wonderful First Lady! :-)
