A Ten
Why Michelle Obama scored big tonight:
-- She restated her and her husband's biographies so that middle class Americans questioning their patriotism and their roots know that they were raised by working class parents who struggled so that their children could pursue their dreams.
-- She credited Hillary Clinton -- in HRC's own words -- with putting "18M cracks in the glass ceiling" so that daughters, and sons, can aim higher in public life.
-- She reframed herself as mother, daughter and wife -- a trio of less intimidating labels than Harvard-educated lawyer.
-- She said, unequivocally, that she loves her country. In case anyone wondered otherwise. (Will it put that GOP talking point to bed? Unlikely. But the oppo stream has been pretty quiet so far tonight.)
-- And, finally, she allowed her children to step -- unscripted -- on the public stage in a moment that showed Americans that the Obama family is in many ways ... just like theirs. Kids miss their parents when they're away. That is a universal thing.

I agree wholeheartedly. She was awesome.
Now let's see how the right tries to make Cindi "Homewrecker" McCain as something other than a cold, aloof, peroxide-head, Barbie-wanna-be. She does not even come across as human, but the right will lie and try to "prove" that she has some blood in her veins rather than Budweiser. Ho-Hum...

She had awesome writers maybe, but she looked under rehearsed while reading from the teleprompter. By the way Cindi Mcain is hot, get over it demodike.

Michelle kept it real folks. She is genuine. Read the wikipedia article about Cindy McCain. She stiffed her half sister, embarrassed her at her fathers funeral. Rewrote the Bridget adoption story. Michelle looks like the average mother and wife, Cindy looks like an overly botoxed "Housewives of Orange County" which is probably not that far from the truth.
