Isn't she lovely?

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

    Maybe just maybe...

    Watching this speech all I could think about was the possible millions of people across the country thinking themselves that maybe just maybe Michelle and Barak aren't lying to us. Maybe just maybe they really are genuine. Maybe just maybe we should give them a chance and let them have their best attempt at bringing America back to what it was. We know what America is supposed to look like and maybe just maybe Barak and Michelle can bring it home.

    I believe in these people. Not since discovering Bob Dylan have I ever believed in a public figure but I believe in the Obamas.

    And for the first time ever I think I admire a beautiful woman purely as a role-model and not a sex symbol. (I know that's terrible but I feel I had to say it.)
