Michelle Obama’s Speech
by TedAugust 25th, 2008
I was anxious to hear Michelle speak tonight. I was concerned that not being a professional, she might not be too effective in communicating her message. Needless to say, those concerns have been soundly put to rest. She certainly put Nancy Pelosi to shame.
I wonder if we could have a debate between Cindy McCain and Michelle. That would be a very interesting experience.
Michelle was superb.
And she’s only Obama’s FIRST wife

Interestingly done. I’m not good at reading people, but her tones and pacing was much different from earlier public speeches, as was a bit of extra emphasis on more optimistic stuff. Dunno if it was more confidence, more practice, or someone coaching her, but it certainly helped.
A bit heavy on the glurge, but that seems to be a given for modern day Democratic candidates.
Gatt, the delivery was excellent as well. She will be a real asset campaigning to middle class women from here on out.
Man, now I wish I had seen it. I’m sure there’s video somewhere. Anyone got a link?

If the speech was intended to relieve the fears of uncertain white americans, it was hugely succesful.
But a debate betweeen Cindy and Michelle? First, get Cindy to wear a dalmation coat. When Cruella McCain inquires about the wellbeing of Barack’s brother, ask her about her step-sisters…
