It was the sheer force of ultimate goodness and will. Not sure i've ever seen anything quite like it.
What a giving, formidable human being.

Is that a word? I've always looked at it this way... If Barack and Michelle were not Pres and first lady, I could see running into the them the Target, the middle school auditorium, anywhere "real" Americans gather. The Romneys? No chance.

. . . . I see the speech, in particular, crossed all ideologies. If you are culturally an American, no matter your background, you can understand *exactly* what she was saying and what she was implying and inferring.

I felt everything she was saying, and she believed every word she was saying.
