She is America.
What a speech, huh?

The daughter of a working class family did what working class people do. She worked hard.

She worked hard to get a proper education even though the cards were stacked against her, much like the settlers to this country worked hard to fight the heat and the cold to create lives for themselves.

She worked hard at her job to make a prove her ability, much like our forefathers worked to make America the land of opportunity.

She then turned her efforts to making sure others would have the opportunities she never did much like the founding fathers risked their lives and livelihoods to give us all our freedoms.

Michelle Obama showed us tonight what all of our ancestors dreamed of every night as they fell asleep and worked for every morning as they rose.

She is America and I am proud to be a part of her story.

1. It was very inspiring!
I couldn't help but think of the contrast between her and that plastic McCain woman.

4. I was honestly stunned.
A beautiful woman, inside and out, showed what it means to be an American.

Silver Spoon Cindy will not be able to compete.
