this speech made me throw up in my mouth. it was so self congratulatory and vapid. Obama's leaving a big law firm, Sidley Austin, to make 100,000K a year at a "public interest" job while Michelle was still raking in the big bucks is not much of a sacrifice, yet they keep milking that like we are frigging morons (i guess their supporters are- they eat this stuff up). She later left her big firm job to make 300,000K a year hugging children at a private hospital where they would turn away anyone without insurance. Whatever. The Obamas are total hypocrites. They were in a tax bracket back then that Obama now wants to tax the crap out of. Sitting there subjecting myself to Michelle's know it all preacher cadenced inanities made me want to gouge out my ears. And who let her brother speak? He was worse than awful.
