    She did very well

    She put her case before her party and was OUTSTANDING. I want Obama to win and what better supporter than his very smart, engaging, attractive, wife who appeared to have trained well to play the role of first lady with kids. She is as American as apple pie and proved it. Coming from where she came in Chicago and from hard working parents, she has done very well. We should be quite proud that we have this kind of talent and courage in our midst. We are living great history for our own kids and country.
