Bobby Finger, how did you know this is exactly what I wanted?!
Obviously Michelle’s speech was amazing. I don’t care what your politics are but if you don’t believe that the First Lady is a knockout YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.
She spoke about her and Barack Obama’s personal story emphasizing their humble beginnings as she has in previous campaign speeches.
“Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it…and he wants everyone in this country, everyone, to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love,” she told the delegates assembled in Charlotte.
She reflected on her fears four years ago about how the office might change her husband and the life their family lives. She said she worried that the man she fell in love with might lose sight of his history.
“Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are, no, it reveals who you are.”
The first lady steered clear of hard policy prescriptions, aiming instead to speak about the President’s character.
“I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do,” she told the convention hall, “even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard. “
