Such straightforward language…I’m asking you to take women’s lives SERIOUSLY.

[bigtree]

30. VP!!

[malaise]

34. We will win

Yes we can

[nolabear]

32. That's the speech of the season. Just brilliant.

We NEED those pictures painted of who we women are and what we lose if that bastard and his cronies get into power.

[Lonestarblue]

33. Michelle Obama is a national treasure!

When I listen to her, I think of all the good things that Eleanor Roosevelt accomplished after FDR died and I see Michelle with that same stature and ability. It remains to be seen what she chooses to do, but she is amazing.

[Traildogbob]

35. My God I

Love Michelle Obama. And her Husband.
Imagine the dignity, character, intellect, and independence their two beautiful daughters have absorbed from these two brilliant, parents.
They will be a force, as are their parents, that will influence the direction of our country.
And let’s all pray, if ya do that, these parents will be part of the destruction of the GQP and MAGA as it thrives now. And the daughters continue the good done by their influence and fight.
And Kamala/ Walz is how that will be accomplished.
Michelle is a treasure. And so is Kamala, Madam President soon.
