Michelle should have not have spoken at the convention. It just makes gaffes of the past all the more obvious and painfully, not going to go away. It is defensive and staged. She should stay out of the political stage as she is becoming more a liability to the party. I'm sorry but she doesn't have the sweetness and charm of Mrs. Bush nor the class of HIllary. Comparing her to Jackie O is also way over the top disrespectful. Please stop the superficial makeover....people are not stupid.

Even the critiques were scammed, now that is really something- Unbelievable they do not see through the facade- she may have spoken well- but she did not say anything- she may have looked good in a dress- but that does not make her credible. Cindy McCain has class and intelligence and is actually doing something that matters in the world far more than raising children- that feed on the economy that is sinking. Yes, harsh, indeed, but true.

you people make me sick!!!! michelle is a sweet loving woman mother and wife, who has devoted her life to community service and all you see is the fear on your parts is she and her husband will be in the white house with her loving little girls. mr oboma is the best thing that has happened in this country for a very long time. mc cain is for the draft big oil and war war war. or bomb bomb bomb you take the choice. after all i am just a 62 year old white woman, what do i know????

"When she declaimed emphatically, "That is why I love this country," on TV you could see she had tears in her eyes. I believed her utterly. "

Actresses have to cry on cue--it all seemed phony to me.

I loved Michelle speech and thought i would vote for Michelle, her speech told me about her. the type of person she is, it did not reassure me about Obama. Bad man usuuslly have exceptionally good wives, they knbw how to pick thier wives. Case in point the Governor of LA. bill and Hillary, to name a few. The fact that the democrats needed to put Michelle on show I found disturbing, What are they hiding about Obama,what is the game play, because u see everything I heard last night was related to other people, still nothing substantive about Obama . I still dont know who Obama really is and what He stands for. No one can stand for everything. That means you will fall for everything also. I love michelle , I will vote for her but not Obama, Obama needed the next five years making his name before i can vote Him into the most important job in the land.. Last night confirmed something for me, Obama is the Kennedys, way of getting back into the White House. The Catholic Church way of getting America.. Protestants beware, prophecy could be fullfilled by stealth,
Daniel the power given to the wounded beast, Rome, by the Lamblike beast America, Watch the cange will be greater than we believe, Remember Hitlers Germany.

What a great speech. She is going to make a great first lady and they are the all american family. It's hilarious reading all of you right wing conservative typical slander and completely stupid comments on this board. Your lives are so full of hate and animosity to those who live their lives in happiness or even content. You can see it in your hateful words. Quite sad

Hasn't anyone put this together yet? McCain will talk about his torturous years as a POW yet follows Bush's lead....it's ok to torture.

Obama w/o question is a closet racist, muslim, and hater of American values. Notwithstanding, these factors he remains dramatically inexperienced to lead the United States of America in todays dangerous world. He is weak and utterly lost w/o his telaprompter.

Michelle gave a "designer speech." It was designed to eradicate the angry image that she's portrayed while campaigning for her husband. I don't buy her new warm wife and mother act. I will give her credit for having more executive experience than her husband. But she also has some explaining to do about how she misused that executive power in awarding the hospital contract to Blackwell, a client of her husband and one of his big donors. Michelle and Barack are not your average American couple; they're Chicago political insiders.

Mrs. Obama's speech was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed hearing her talk about how Barack took her to meet his pastor for the first time: " Barack said: Michelle this is my pastor Reverend Wright. He has become like a father to me....... I immediately felt comfortable in the presence of Reverend Wright and my respect for him grew in the next few months as I attended Trinity Church. Little did I know then that it was to become our spiritual home for the next twenty years."

I think she would make a poor representative of a first lady. She is arrogant. I do not think she is a lady that remembers her roots. I cannot visualize her as a first lady. She coach through this speech and this is not the real her. The real Michelle was when we first saw. People do not change that fast and the ones who does are the ones I distrust most. I think Obama is not right for America. I think he is a hype.His backgground is very disturbing and people seem to ignore that.??
