Michelle Obama told the story that I wanted to hear. She told it in a way that anyone (with half a brain) could relate to. She was elegant, poised, and perfect.
She was the epitome (look it up if you have to) of grace under pressure. Michelle Obama carries the burden of having to defend herself from McWalkingCane supporters, embittered Hillary supporters, and racists who have called her "baby's mama" and portrayed her as a Black radical.
But what Michelle proved tonight is that she is America. She has risen above her circumstances and become a powerful role model to anyone who wants to have a little more or do a little better. The faces of the crowds, the tears, the smiles in the audience tell what people thought about Michelle Obama.
To all the commenters that will respond with hate and criticism... don't worry you don't phase those of us that really get it. You wish you had an ounce of Mrs. Obama's passion, intelligence, poise, and grace. Oh well...
