Just watched Michelle's convention speech

I had my credit card and phone at-the-ready two minutes in – because whatever she was selling, I was more than ready to buy.

Had the whole thing ended up being an infomercial for 'Michelle’s Own' Soaps & Body Washes, I’d be soaking in a tub of them right now.

That woman is AMAZING!!!

While her speech was about the difference between Trump's America and our America, what also came through was the difference between a First Lady who is intelligent enough, motivated enough, and caring enough to be an asset to her husband's presidency - as opposed to a First Lady who sees her position as an endless array of fashion-conscious photo ops.

For me, the contrast was startling. It demonstrated the need for powerful women who take their positions - whatever those positions might be - seriously. And it drove home the fact that in the world of the GOP, a clueless airhead like Melania is considered the model woman: uninformed, uninterested, and willing to keep her mouth shut while smiling into the camera.

was the realization that we all needed to hear from her. Really needed it. She made it OK to be an American again. The whole world loves her.
