Michelle Obama's performance last night in a nutshell...

[WilliamPitt]

Yup.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Damn right!

Or...should I say "like"...

[jillan]

2. I read that Chris Wallace (?) said that Michelle's speech was not political!

Stupid fools - Michelle's speech was the most political of the nite!!!
They just can't recognize political slams when it is delivered like this:

"When you walk through the door of opportunity, you do not slam it behind you. You reach back and help others succeed."

They only recognize it when it is delivered with Marxist, communist, socialist, terrorist adjectives.

[WilliamPitt]

3. That "marathon" line

was lethal.

[Patiod]

5. What was that? I missed it..

Too stunned by the dress (I admit it).

[WilliamPitt]

7. "They are going to run and they are going to run marathons..."

On the heels of the Paul Ryan admission of lying about his marathon running time, the word wasn't an accident.

[Coyotl]

15. The DNC should do a marathon during the event, a quick three-hour one, and

call it the Whopper Run

[JDPriestly]

14. Nosy curiosity on my part, but are you male or female, Patoid?

I have a crazy theory that mostly women notice clothes. Do you think I am right or wrong. I'm a woman, and I love clothes.

[calimary]

17. That was a nice dress.

Showing off THOSE arms.

Just one more little detail that contributed to a smashing success last night!

[Inuca]

21. :-) The moement she stepped out, I went

WOW!!! Insipred and stunning in its simplicity (which can apply to Michelle as well

[malaise]

8. She was brilliant

[tavalon]

4. So, how old will the kids be after Barack Obama's second term?

It's not as much of a non sequiter as you might think.

[jayschool]

19. In 2020

Michelle will be 56, Malia 22 and Sasha 19.

Time for a run then?

[tavalon]

22. I was wondering about a Biden/Obama ticket for 2016

And our current first Lady and Madame President for 2020.

[truebrit71]

6. Chris Hayes made the same point last night on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow...

He said that her speech basically just eviscerated Rmoney without ever actually saying his name...truly masterful speech-writing...

[hifiguy]

9. She tore him to shreds without ever

mentioning his name. A masterpiece.

[Chorophyll]

10. Hells yeah!

[rocktivity]

11. More election Venn diagrams

12. She destroyed Romney

A speech I will never forget.

[Inuca]

13. EJ Dionne's excellent analysis saying the same thing

(with more words http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/michelle-obamas-speech-both-apolitical-and-politically-masterful/2012/09/05/d7197c54-f722-11e1-8398-0327ab83ab91_blog.html The last paragraph:

Oh yes, and she also said that for husband, “success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.” Did any other presidential candidate come to mind as perhaps having a contrasting approach? Michelle Obama was much too polite to say. She didn’t have to.

[calimary]

18. Yeah, I caught that, too. There was only one person that jab was about.

And I think everybody knew it, and everybody got it.

Yet another point that needed to be made, and needed to be said.

[hue]

16. Michelle was PERFECT!! (as always IMHO) But will anything make a dent in 1 Repub's head??

[tavalon]

23. They need only be too demoralized to bother voting

[yurbud]

20. great one!
