Michelle Robinson Obama last night made me proud to be an American, a Christian, a Princetonian, and fellow "south side girl". She was quite simply... a LADY. I'm sure the hater's will be out in full force today picking apart every detail of her speech... the choice of her dress, the way she wore her hair, whether or not she secretely "hates whitey", if she is "bitter"and the worse crime of all if she really is an "angry black woman" in disguise who is going to ruin the country.
But really it is not that deep. For me the best testament of a man's character is the wife he chooses. The best insight into a person's values are their children. By both accounts Michelle with her obvious strength of character and love for her husband and family; and the adorable Malia and Sasha Obama who seem to be intelligent well adjusted happy kids (a rarity in this day and age) should have locked up any doubt about Barack Obama's personal character and make us all be inspired to fight for this man's presidency.
Yes...I still want more policy details about his economic platform. Yes...I want him to go after John McCain on some of his more nefarious attacks. Yes...I do disagree with some of his ideas (including his recent answer's to some questions during the Saddleback forum). But for the first time in my adult life...Michelle made me excited about having her husband and their family at the Helm of this country.
You GO HOME GIRL!!!
Peace and Blessings

Ditto. I didn't see the entire speech [working and they wouldn't stop coming in-maybe they should have been listening to First Lady Michelle] but she is CLASSIC! Since she was once the VP of a major medical center, she can have input on our health care PROBLEM.
