Isn't she lovely?

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

    @hhatchet

    just because i disliked michelle's speech doesn't mean i like bush. i don't like bush. i don't like legacy admissions and i don't like fema dude. i hate most politicians and think they are a bunch of morons and hypocrites. i think obama and bush are about equally stupid, but one is more articulate. my main gripe with obama is his plan to redistribute wealth thru an unfair tax plan. i don't like his plans and proposals, and affirmative action just gets on my nerves. when i went to law school and found out my black peers got 20 points less than me on the entrance exam, and were also getting scholarships, i developed a bit of resentment for the policy of affirmative action.
