Did you listen to Michelle Obama's fantastic speech at the DNC last night?

I thought Michelle outdid herself. She was the most charismatic speaker of the night. If you didn't hear it, you should look for it online.

    That was one of those moments that just took my breath away. 

    That was so long in coming.  It made all that hogwash we had to endure from the GOP tour almost endurable. 

    Compare that Stepford Wife who copied her with THE REAL DEAL.  This is a woman with brains.  This is a woman that could have exchanged places with her husband and took his place if he died in office.  She is a force.  I could see her running in the future.   What an amazing speaker.   I loved it how she kept on point, made several points, and made it about Hillary and not about her own or her husband's achievements.  

    We have some amazing speakers on the floor now.   How about Elizabeth the wonderful?  Elizabeth Warren.  Elizabeth pointed out how Hillary has a record of achievement in Public Service and how Trump has always been only for one person, TRUMP. 

     How refreshing to see people who do not need speech writers that they have to worry about because they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, and not aping someone else's speeches.

    Now you can see how ineffective copying someone else actually is.   You can try and fake Michelle Obama's words, but you cannot fake being that woman.   That woman is a brilliant figure, a wife, a mother and an activist.   And she really told TRUMP off in language that Democrats understand.

    She totally spoke in a perfect tone.  Did not yell.  Was firm.  And she laid it out.  She spoke on how those who have something to say do not have to hurt and defame others in order to get ahead.  

    She is a BLACK WOMAN. 

    Black - she will unite the intelligent black voter, she will also unite all minorities who can see who really stands behind them; she mentions over and over how Hillary has  proof with a  record of doing so.  While Trump has no record at all.   She underlined over and over again how HILARY has that record. 

    Woman - any woman who cannot get behind a person with this mentality and want to emulate her, belongs on the other side

    @Jakob, it's time for a woman like Hillary to lead the way for other woman candidates.

    I was very moved. The First Lady Mrs. Obama was positive and encouraging, intelligent, and caring about people and this country. The best part was she includes everyone. She doesn't hate anyone. Refreshing!
