Denise WilliamsMichelle O Introduces Herself to America
Michelle Obama, the soon-to-be-nominee's wife, was spotlighted at the DNC tonight with an introductory video and comments by her brother Craig Robinson.Since Mrs. Obama's "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country" statement and the overwhelmingly negative reaction and spinning of it since, Michelle needed this opportunity to introduce herself to the voters of this country in a positive light.
The poised and striking Obama is a compelling and competent speaker, loves her girls and family dearly and is passionate about her husband's cause.
Michelle gave some good props to Hillary and reminded us of the upcoming 88th anniversary of woman's suffrage. An unexpected live video appearance by the candidate with some back and forth with Sasha was too cute by half.
In a much more than competent speech, Michelle did what she had to do - introduce herself to the American people as a mother, wife and partner. She expressed the warmth we had hoped for. If after this anyone thinks that she's a scary, militant radical - well, you were never going to vote for Obama anyway.

You see, there is something called heart. It is not something we can talk about, it's something you feel inside. I love America because of what I saw tonight. Some people know what I mean. Some people have no idea.

tom.......I have an idea, I have a heart, and I have a mind, and I could care less what the obama's have to say....I suggest you start respecting other people's opinions, as I do yours, even thought I may not agree with you...no reason to call people, you don't know such awfull names, and if you do, have the decency to apologize

Oh yeah, the Replublican Jim Leach, Replublicans should take note of his speech. The replublican party today is not the republican party of years ago. O'BVama is a transcending candidate..." He also had a lot to say about what the Replublican party is doing today.

Michelle forgot to mention one person who has shaped the Obama's lives: their loving pastor of 20 years, the Reverend Jerimiah Wright..."we committed ourselves to the way our world should be."

she said she was not proud of This great Nation. tell me what has CHANGED. nothing, nada, nil, zilch, ZERO
she is still the same person that needed more white people, to set the stage to make her look like she cared.
she is the same person who brought Wright to her husbands attention, she is the same person, people.
nothing can CHANGE that. and nothing will.
first impressions are always the best.
anybody can learn to deliver a speech, and how to ACT
she too pledged allegiance to Africa and to Black Liberation Theology.
her college thesis was full of hate for white people.
and just because she wants to help her husband become presidemnt, does not CHANGE WHO SHE IS, HAS BEEN, AND WILL BE.
we are who we are, and we do not CHANGE.
VOTE COUNTRY NOT PARTY

I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT, IF YOU WILL NOT RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS YOU WILL REFRAIN FROM CURSING. THAT SHOWS BAD TASTE. THANK YOU! U.S.A., AS LONG AS I KNOW IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY AND EVERY THING I RELATED IS BASED ON FACTS,NOTHING WAS INVENTED OR NEW. ALTHOUGHT IF YOU STILL WANT TO CURSE ME, GO AHEAD. JUST SHOW HOW RESPECTFULL YOU ARE TOWARD OTHERS, SHOULD WE BELEIVE THAT YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE.

She gave a pretty good speech but I couldn't help but wonder, after hearing her story about how she and Barack rose from the lower middle class to get Ivy league law degrees, just exactly what is it that is so wrong with America that they need to change? Why is it that she wasn't proud of American until this year? There is a bit of a disconnect between themselves and their station in life and their message. This couldn't be politics as usual could it?

It's a shame how the DNC think they can program people like a computer to vote for Hussein Obama and his ungrateful wife, Michelle, who resembles a female Malcolm X - remember The New Yorker's front cover of Michelle and Hussein doing the bump in the Oval Office.

guess they didnt tell michelle that most people make up their minds about a person in the first few seconds of meeting them. its not just the first time i have been proud of america that done it for me. it was her whining of having to pay for piano,dance,etc. i wish i could have afforded some of those things with my children. we work hard for our money yet a lot of us can not afford those things. still struggling with why it took so long for them to pay off student loans with all the money they make? life is so hard for the wanna be bi racial black man.

Logan...I don't understand how they can call Mccain a real Republican...the best thing to do is put someone in there to replace him at the convention....I don't think he has the values of what he is suppose to represent...what do you think of Mccain?? I find the choices in election years tough...I like Obama because he wants to clean up that mess in Washington...how about you?

If Obama is Britney, McCain is Hitler. We have the opportunity to come from up under a REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP REGIME, so flex your musle in November when you pull the lever or reach out to touch the screen and VOTE your conscience and not your political enslavement. We need someone that can and has the will to clean house in Washington and break the grid! Obama is very well respected by both parties, McCain is respected by no one! He is mean as hell, and will use the veto pen at every given opportunity.
Nothing will get done in Washington and it will be a repeat of the last 25 years.

MICHELLE HAS THE SAME SCUMBALL VALUES AS HER HUSBAND.
THIS IS ONLY KOOL-AID IN A SKIRT
_____________________________________________
Just what values have you instilled in your childred, to hate and lie? I suppose still further, you profess to be a Christian. There are a lot of fake Christians running around loose on these sites.
Michelle has not changed from her stump speeches for Obama, she added Senator Biden, but has always praised Hillary in her speeches. You should have been listening more closely. Everything she mentioned tonight has been repeated over and over again in every other speech she has made. Her father's M.S., where he worked, her brother and mother. Nothing different.
