Michele Obama's speech.....OK...it was fine

I watched without much anticipation to Michele Obama's speech last night. The reason for the lack of anticipation is that I feel that these conventions are so scripted, that no one really makes a big mistake. The speech was just that, no problems...well rehearsed and overall a nice speech. She is no Hillary Clinton, Although I despise the women, Hillary is very Charismatic.

The only thing I thought was strange was Michele's mothers response to the speech. Here is the mom....her daughter at the pinnacle of her life....discussing the love of her brother, her mother and then the story about her deceased father. How he contracted MS at 30....how he never complained....how he would use crutches to cross the room to kiss her mother....getting up early everyday to dress himself...It was quite the story. I even teared up.....BUT NOT MOM.....deadpan...no emotion ...nothing....I found that VERY strange.

Did you notice when explaining where he was he said St. Louis!!!! Then said Kansas City....for all of my CT readers....KC is 4 hours away on the opposite side of the state....Barack must have slipped....it happens...BTW though, if John McCain made that slip, they would be saying he was senile!

Dude - take off your dress & high heels and get back to our side. We are over on the right. Next thing you know you'll be sporting a Hillary 2013 sticker on the minivan

I was expecting you to write on this one. LOL I did find myself getting distracted (and it doesn't take much - like the farm tax bill) throughout her talk. Shame on me. It was "her" night, chance for everyone to get to know her.

I agree - did momma have a bad dinner? She didn't see too happy - did she?

of course .... I got two great cables for my office with great assistance of the ShowMeCustomCable guys! the office is so much better. Stop in and say hiya to them
