DNC ’08: Michelle Obama Adds Humanity to Campaign

Four years ago, I remember sitting on my couch and watching Laura Bush speak at the RNC. You could tell she wasn't comfortable. Or maybe she just sounds like a robot all of the time...

Tonight, however, we saw a different politician's wife speak, and she was quite captivating. Michelle Obama spoke at the Democratic Convention and was able to add a human face to the Hopemonger Barack Obama. Is it really so surprising that a woman who was once the Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit that focuses on youth and social issues, could speak so candidly and yet so eloquently on a bright futue for our country?

Teresa Heinz-Kerry was a good speaker, but Michelle was inspiring. Take a look for yourself...
