PHILADELPHIA — O.K., Michelle Obama stole the show.
It would be hard to beat an African-American first lady saying that she woke up every morning:
“in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.”
But she went further than that – further, really, in lambasting the opposition than is traditional for someone in the Official Wife position. And it worked very, very well. “Don’t let anyone ever tell you this country isn’t great. That we need to make it great again. Because this … is the greatest country on earth,” she said, wrapping up the speech that seemed to totally shut up the Bernie Sanders holdouts.
The first lady talked a lot about her daughters and realizing “our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become.” Malia and Sasha Obama seem to be coming out fine — more than fine. So, for that matter, does Chelsea Clinton. All the recent presidential children appear to have grown up well. Also, all girls. Just saying. For the full article click here
