I saw Michelle Obama last night.
She utterly rocked, talking to an SRO crowd at University of Houston--a large ballroom with at least 500 people in it, crammed tight. I arrived 80 minutes before she began and still could only get halfway to the front of the room. The crowd was at least 20% college kids and the energy was PUMPED up.

I've seen her "somebody moved the bar" speech on Cspan once, but she's changed it in spots and it's a powerful, powerful speech.

1. I responded positively to her before I responded positively to Obama himself.
She's so very impressive. And I like her!

How cool you got that opportunity.

3. Michelle is awesome!
Really sharp lady - could be our first female Prez!

I am actually GLAD she had her little "gaff" the other day - as she has already learned from it,
and wont make it again.

Michelle is an awesome woman - in resume & career & character!

4. I caught Michelle on Larry King
And she blew me away. She's an extremely impressive woman, articulate and clearly very intelligent. She did more to convince to vote for her husband in a 1/2 hour than anything else in the campaign.
