powerful . . .

[Spazito]

8. Very powerful and moving...

reminding all of us about the past fight, the continuing fight to make sure everyone's right to vote is NOT restricted, not suppressed.


She is such a beautiful woman, inside and out, her sincerity shines through, her passion is unmistakable.

Very, very moving.

Edited to add: she is bringing me to tears talking about the picture in the White House and it's full meaning.

The photo she's talking about

[Spazito]

14. I loved that photo from the first time I saw it, when it was posted on DU and...

love it even more, if possible, after the First Lady's speech. Thanks for posting it!

17. The first time I saw it I thought of Newt Gingrich suggesting

that black people have no role models and let out a big Fuck You Gingrich - this was the perfect answer - and Michelle nailed it last night.

15. I love the way she used that moment as a marker for institutional change in our political system

. . . an institutional change which strikes to the heart of our black community and inspires beyond that one amazing transformation..

4. Love her speech

All of us fighting for change - we all get a say in our democracy.
We cannot let anyone discourage us from casting out ballot - wonderful.

[malaise]

6. This isthemarch of our time

This is the sit in - sit in on that phone bank - let your nephew know how to register for the generations to come.

It's about the democracy we want to leave for our kids and grandkids.

12. deep and real

just awesome!

I'm so, so glad I tuned in to witness that.

13. Same here

Excellent

7. It's really cute how she and her husband speak alike.

It's so sweet--they pick up mannerisms from each other. That's a couple that really loves each other....at times, they're so similar in their delivery.

16. the half-stammer

I noticed that . . .

9. I hope Jill Biden warned her about using hand gestures.
