“This is not normal”: Michelle Obama rebukes Donald Trump on behalf of all women

In one of the most powerful speeches of the US presidential campaign so far, first lady Michelle Obama offered a powerful, personal response to the leaked tape showing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump making demeaning and predatory remarks about women in 2005—and reports that he has acted in the way he described.

“I can’t believe that I’m saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” she told the crowd at a campaign event for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire on Oct. 13. “And I have to tell you that I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way I couldn’t have predicted.”

“This is not normal,” she told the crowd. “This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful, it is intolerable.”

In a blockbuster of a speech, reminiscent of the one that stole the show at the Democratic National Convention, she described her reaction in emotional terms.

7. Everyone MUST see this!

Michelle Obama’s epic New Hampshire speech was a master class in speaking from the gut

Michelle Obama's epic speech Tuesday in New Hampshire should be required viewing for every leader. Not because of its political content. Not for her strongly worded endorsement of Hillary Clinton or her scathing takedown of the Democratic nominee's "opponent" -- the First Lady refused to even say GOP nominee Donald Trump's name -- that has already been called a "defining moment in the presidential campaign."

Rather, it was for the absolute master class she offered in that elusive quality of leadership: "authenticity." It is among the most jargon-laden, vague concepts touted by leadership consultants and coaches, the subject of countless books and training seminars promising yet another elixir to effective speech-making or good leadership.

But on Thursday, Obama provided a stark reminder that this nebulous quality comes not from a book. It comes from the gut. With inclusive and personal stories, emotionally strong yet vulnerable tone and body language, and a passionate appeal rooted in her own experiences, Obama embodied the widely praised but rarely replicated feat of seeming "real" that escapes so many leaders.
