She did it. If America had any doubt about Michelle Obama, none should remain. Michelle Obama delivered an incredibly impassioned speech that made clear the values that she and her husband hold. She shared that it was those common values of hard work and respect for others that drew she and Barack—individuals from opposite ends of the continent—together.
With perfect delivery, grace and confidence, Michelle connected with all of us, and made the case for electing Barack Obama as president of the United States of America. Michelle spoke in loving terms about her big brother Craig and her hard-working and loving parents.
Most of all, what became glaringly evident was that this was a woman speaking from her heart. A woman who within every living cell in her body—believed firmly in what she was saying. For Michelle Obama, it was not a stretch to speak in favorable terms about the opportunities that America provides. She did not have to conjure up elaborate tales of hard times. No. Michelle is no elitist.
Michelle knows hard work, struggle, opportunity—as well as triumph, first-hand. The story of her life and that of her husband Barack are only possible in America—and it’s cleary one reason why she is proud to be an American and why loves her country do deeply.
Stevie Wonder’s song, “Isn’t She Lovely,” is the perfect tribute to Michelle Obama’s speech. It is the first thing that came to mind when I saw her ascend to the podium. Flawless in appearance, graceful, cheerful and amazingly at ease while speaking to the entire world (via satellite and internet)—Michelle Obama is truly a woman in the right place at the right time. She can communicate and connect with every American of every color and creed. Michelle Obama simply has to be who she is—and she will make a terrific First Lady, and she will make America very proud.
