    Strong

    I saw strength and tremendous grace.

    Good god, it's a mistake to be offended by "lovely."

    She WAS lovely. HE's lovely too! And not only did he call her "cute" but she called him "handsome." What a drag...happy loving sexuality in the White House. Horrors!

    She did a tremendous job. Sure, theater. SO WHAT.

    I hazard that neither Barack nor Michelle Obama are perfect human beings.

    For anyone, anyone, to hesitate even a nanosecond before choosing Obama in the voting booth, is insanity.

    He's not the Messiah. But he isn't a crazed bully zealot who would happily drag the entire planet over the brink, either.

    Give him a chance to do what he can, and let's put our own shoulders to the wheel and help.
