My Thoughts on Michelle Onama’s Speech

I think she nailed it. Yeah, I will confess, I liked the speech.

Sure, it was filled with the “Liberal Line”. Sure, it was filled with feminism. Sure, it was filled with Ideology. Sure, it was filled with identity politics.

But you know what? She won the night. Between her and Ted Kennedy’s speech, the first night got off to a good start.

The very end, with the video feed of Barack and the kids, well, being kids, was the best ending ever. It humanized the Obama’s, it made them look like real people. It seriously put a big dent in that whole line of them being limousine liberals, who are out of touch.

Women in audience last night were bawling, hell, I was almost bawling! 😉 😥 😛

Will it sway voters? That will be determined in November, and of course, there’s the polls.

Overall, it was a good start to a convention. I look forwarding to covering the rest. 😀
