From the people crying, you'd think this is the White Guilt Convention.

Yep, those black women have a shitload of white guilt.. fuck outta here with that bs

And yeah, there's no way anyone would cry due to the emotional power the speech had, that would be impossible.. the only answer is white guilt.

nono. the sheer thought of a white person having emotion for a black candidate equates to white guilt.

again - egad.

Well theres that, but its his fucking wife. In the UK you might MIGHT get an interview with the candidates wife in some minor thing. Kids wouldn't be thrown into the spin. The whole thing just seems very choreographed and cheesy.

But *shrug* whatever works I guess.

It was obvious it was something from the DNC since Obama himself didn't even know about it.

Goddamnit, Obama's camp really need to take over DNC fully.

She's what, six? You can't script six year olds. I have one, and a three year old. Anyone with kids just saw kids being....kids.

yeah but this is the only thing that'll abrogate assertions of the obamas as these scary unpatriotic people

I dunno man, with how contrived and corny some of the stuffs in the 1st day have been, I wouldn't be surprised if the DNC thought that lil family segment without even letting Barack know will be cute.

Oh, no doubt. I'm not saying it was scripted, I'm saying that we got perilously close to exploiting their cuteness. I had a jon-jon moment there (and it was almost ruined).

It's also foreign to the UK viewers becasue they really don't have negative campaigning there, so they don't need some of the ancillary stuff we have here.

Holy fucking shit.

Holy fucking shit.

Holy fucking shit.

That went so perfectly. Throughout that speech, you could see that Obama made the right decision with Joe Biden - I saw him nodding at one point, standing to clap, nearly crying at another. Michelle did EXCELLENT with this speech, holy shit. And then at the end, with the kids, that was just icing on the already perfect cake.

I'm more than satisfied. If Michelle's speech was this good, think about how good Obama's speech will be on Thursday.

IT. IS. GOING. TO. BE. EPIC.

Michelle's speech was something else. It really was an extraordinary. I didn't know she had that in her but it really came off as genuine. I can just see Fox right now watching the speech, then saying alright lets find what part we can use to attack them.

even Fox News pundits pontificating positively on the speech
pretty good result for Michelle

Except for Bill Kristol. He thought it was a generic speech.

Fox woman is spinning it as a very liberal speech and other guy, "it wasn't a great speech".

Right on point. :lol

yes, what i need right now is a clip of Obama from a year ago directly disproving that he would never be in Kansas City, with Russert then intoning - 'why has he switched?'

I wonder how much of the back and forth was planned. At least two the interjections from the little one were clearly unexpected. If anything, they should have kept the mic out of her range. :lol

Amazing, amazing, amazing speech. The kids stuff felt forced but damn what a great overall presentation. They understand image

Overall I thought the second half really saved this opening day. Teddy's speech plus Michelle's stole the show

Agreed. I don't think Chris is a strong enough (or credible) enough of a presence to keep Olberman & Co. in check.



Also:
maybe the kids hadn't seen him in a minute? i bet they miss him. now i kinda feel bad.
