    White bra-strap showing on left arm?

    Not sure, could have been a reflection, rather than a bra-strap. Do African-American women even wear white bras?

    Point Two: Early on in the the speech, she said something about, "..me and my brother." She should have said, "...my brither and me." However, many Americans will criticize her, because they believe mistakenly that everybody needs to say, "...and I."

    They are wrong, but in their psilly psuedo middle-American grammatical context, they will fault her.
