Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Michelle speech is dangerous to the McCain camp

    All the right wing, neo-con, and racists folks are doing everything they can to remain in denial and the people who listen to them. It's not terrorists that are a threat to the US. This culture of denial will do it in.

    Everything that goes around comes around and there's no escaping it. And your fear is the knowing that your time of reckoning can NOT be avoided.

    But the speech was dangerous to the McCain camp because it kills them that the Obama's actually grew up like most Americans....

    So they try to ignore and deny.

    As I said on another post:

    It worked so well because Cindy McCain could NEVER have given this speech.

    The McCains are children of privelege.
