Isn't she lovely?

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

    Nice job, better lead item than the PUMA piece, and a CQ

    Glad to have this piece on the top of Salon instead of Traister's other piece, about the PUMA brigade outside. Rebecca, you've had a busy day! (And I can only assume this is just a warm-up for you...)

    Now for the criticism:

    Traister: "When Obama announced, in that canned presidential way, that he was sitting in Kansas City with the Gerardo family, young Sasha grabbed the mic and said, "Hi, Gerardo family!""

    How about a little spell-check? I am pretty sure their name is spelled Gerardeaux.
