Michelle Obama's Speech

Michelle Obama's speech on Monday night was nothing special or unexpected. Of course she felt the need to mention the civil rights movement and her heroes that help make the civil rights movement possible. All in all her speech mine as well have been a civil rights speech glorifying Martin Luther King.

The beginning of her speech was about the values and morals that her and her husband grew up with. Sayings like "your word is your bond" and "dignity and respect". However, her and her husband don't follow these values one hundred percent of the time. First off, not to long ago Michelle said "i finally love this country" well people have been holding her to that saying for many weeks and she gets upset because of it. If only she knew her word was her bond. Her husband didn't show dignity or respect when he accused McCain of owning to many houses. He made up lies about McCain's personal life. This hardly shows dignity or respect.

It's also interesting to point out that when Michelle said Clinton's name the crowd roared harder than they did when Michelle walked out. This isn't surprising with the outrageous number of people who are trying to get Clinton on the ballot.

She also stretched some issues. She mentioned that Barack pushed very hard for equal pay to women. This is something that has been around many years before Barack Hussain Obama came onto the scene. He is in no way a founding father or leader of the equal pay rights for women. I believe that women, during the 20's, should be credited with starting this movement. Michelle also said how Barack is going to make sure everyone can go to college. However, never once during her speech did she mention what colleges her and her husband went to. This is probably because she didn't want to mention how her and her husband went to ivy league schools. So if everyone should go to college, maybe everyone should go to an ivy league school?

Most of Michelle's speech was about Barack as a father and his family. She kept mentioning what a great father he was. Well I've never heard that great fathers make great politicians. I have a hard time believing that a great father would be tangled up in politics, lying, and manipulation. Not to pick apart Barack's family but his mother was a single mother, married twice. She then divorced her second husband. Wow what a great family we have here. So is it safe to say that Barack grew up without a father figure, well this explains why he is such a pansy at making decisions.

This speech was more of a speech for the black culture than it was for America as a whole. Michelle didn't mention anything that would help undecided voters make up their mind. Many of the people in Michelle's speech were people were black and marched for civil rights. This has no relevance to the white population what so ever. She didn't reassure America that her husband is ready to be president.

In conclusion, I feel that Michelle's speech could have been stronger. It was not helpful to Barack's campaign what so ever.
