What'd you think of Michelle Obama's speech?

It's the big question of the night -- I think she gave a great speech, and did exactly what she needed to, but I'm interested in knowing how Salon's readers felt about it.

    I agree, Alex,

    and I've got to tell you that the thought of those two little girls running around the White House after nearly eight years of the present occupants, makes my heart soar.

    I just hope they'll air the place out thoroughly before the Obamas move in. It's about time we had a decent family living there again.
