(39,451 posts)Stupid fools - Michelle's speech was the most political of the nite!!!
They just can't recognize political slams when it is delivered like this:
"When you walk through the door of opportunity, you do not slam it behind you. You reach back and help others succeed."
They only recognize it when it is delivered with Marxist, communist, socialist, terrorist adjectives.

(8,945 posts)(with more words http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/michelle-obamas-speech-both-apolitical-and-politically-masterful/2012/09/05/d7197c54-f722-11e1-8398-0327ab83ab91_blog.html The last paragraph:
Oh yes, and she also said that for husband, success isnt about how much money you make, its about the difference you make in peoples lives. Did any other presidential candidate come to mind as perhaps having a contrasting approach? Michelle Obama was much too polite to say. She didnt have to.

Yet another point that needed to be made, and needed to be said.
