She got me crying, that was a crushing speech against the fascists.

[Iris]

Those thieving bastards

[uponit7771]

Incredible speech by an incredible woman. Couldn't be more proud & our country has been blessed to have her as FLOTUS. I love you, Michelle.

[tandot]

12. Wise words, LaydeeBug!

A knockout speech, wonderfully delivered.

We will miss her.

[John Poet]

13. Melania now has her speech for 2020!

LOL

[LaydeeBug]

20. Bah! I just posted the same thing on FB. nt

[Chicago1980]

44. Why would she need it in 2020?

We're going to send her ass back to the penthouse in Trump Tower come this November.

[mcar]

15. Ready to go!

You said it, LaydeeBug!

[tallahasseedem]

16. LOVE the hashtag!

[LaydeeBug]

18. use away. Michelle hit a Grand Slam tonight. Outta the park. nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

17. I love it!

Lol

[4lbs]

19. I was afraid she might have been all talked out after her speech last Monday.

However, I am glad she hit it out of the city tonight.

[R B Garr]

21. She was absolutely perfect. Her substance, tone, delivery, sincerity,

just absolutely perfect. And loved how she called everyone out in a most classy way. I'm still floored by her. I hope she runs for office somewhere, or maybe she'll be a Hillary appointee. She's just brilliant.

Love your description, too: Outflanked, outclassed and out*did* the entire GOP. So true.

[4lbs]

22. Dare I say Michelle Obama in 2024 to follow Hillary's two terms?

Oh, yes, she can!

[DemonGoddess]

23. As I just got home, anyone have a link so I can see her too?

pretty please???

[LaydeeBug]

24. Happy to help...normally, I'm the one asking for links so I *get* it

[DemonGoddess]

26. thank you!

watching now!

[DemonGoddess]

37. aw man, she made me cry!

What a terrific speaker our First Lady is!

[SharonClark]

25. Best speech of the night.

[Ilsa]

27. It felt like she got a little revenge on them, on Trump, on all of them for

Dissing her husband, questioning his birth, and especially his faith. It was a great smackdown.

[akbacchus_BC]

34. I so agree with you, Mr. Booker speech was a class act and followed by the first Lady, Mrs. Clinton

could not want any more endorsements. Two great people endorsed Mrs. Clinton.

[LaydeeBug]

36. Don't forget Warren.

Just amazing

[akbacchus_BC]

39. I acknowledged Ms. Warren in another post, she was great too! If Americans really believe

in honesty and which Politician is on their side, it will be Mrs. Clinton. They need to vote for her, asswipe trump is not an alternative!

[yallerdawg]

29. MSNBC Republican pundit Steve Schmidt said...

"Michelle Obama's speech was so good we'll be hearing it again at the next Republican convention!"

[uponit7771]

33. +1

[akbacchus_BC]

40. Oh no, the Trump campaign may take parts of her speech again!

[yuiyoshida]

30. It was a thing of beauty ...

y'a know...like a WILLY MAYS CATCH

[relayerbob]

46. More like a Willie Mays home run

But yeah ... :-D

[yuiyoshida]

56. any baseball player can hit a home run...

No one could catch a ball like the SAY HEY KID..

[akbacchus_BC]

31. See what I mean, I posted that earlier! Good for the First Lady, always a Class Act!

[underthematrix]

32. great great speech. I love her.

[uponit7771]

35. Even Hugh Hewitt said it was good !!

[Uponthegears]

38. Just as she has for EIGHT YEARS

[c588415]

41. Michelle = beautifull and intelligent

That was 1 hell of a speech that she gave tonight

[nolabear]

42. She was so good. A woman to be proud of.

Damn I'll miss them.

[ffr]

43. HEAR ME!

"We cannot sit back and hope that in this election everything works out for the best, we cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. No, HEAR ME! Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago, we need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour out our last ounce of passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America.

SO LET'S GET TO WORK!" - Michelle Obama



Fired up!

[relayerbob]

45. Absolutely hit it out of the park!!!!!

Wonderful!!! Tears!!! Joy!!! Serious ass-whooping!!!!

[Moonwalk]

47. I wanted to get out a lighter and hold it up! She made a speech equal to....

...some of the greatest political speeches ever made. Incredible.

[peggysue2]

48. Master Class

Michelle Obama blew the roof off. It was a masterful speech delivered with panache. Couldn't be prouder of FLOTUS or the Democratic Party this evening.

Rock on!

[SunSeeker]

49. Michelle won the night.

[Hortensis]

50. Vanity Fair: "HOW FLOTUS DEFEATED DONALD TRUMP

WITHOUT MENTIONING HIS NAME" "When they go low, we go high."

CNN: "Michelle Obama could be Hillary Clinton's ace in the hole"

And so on. She knocked it out of the park. I'm going to miss having her as our First Lady.

Not to be sexist or anything, but Bill Clinton as first spouse? Really, Michelle's speech could have concluded very appropriately with a mic drop.

[LaydeeBug]

53. She undid the entire GOP Convention in under 15 mins nt

[Hortensis]

54. Yes. Because of 8 years of endearing herself to the nation.

Even most of the troublemakers didn't want to make trouble for her. She's been a very good first lady for us.

[liberal N proud]

51. Will Melania plagiarize this speech?

Not a chance!

[workinclasszero]

52. Grand Slam FLOTUS!!!

LOVE Michelle!!!

[LaydeeBug]

57. Seriously. How many times today has it been replayed? She Undid them in under 15 minutes. nt
