Must-Read from Salon: ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

And then she peeled the onion one layer further, telling how when she puts "that little girl and her sister into bed at night" she thinks about the families they will one day have themselves. "And one day, they -- and your sons and daughters -- will tell their own children about what we did together in this election ... How this time, in this great country -- where a girl from the South Side of Chicago can go to college and law school, and the son of a single mother from Hawaii can go all the way to the White House -- we committed ourselves to building the world as it should be."

And in case you still hadn't reached for your Kleenex, as soon as Michelle had said her God bless to the country and brought those beautiful girls Malia and Sasha up onstage with her, up popped the mister on the big screen, joking about his persistence in dating her, assuring her that she was "incredible" and "also look very cute," both of which were true.

When Obama announced, in that canned presidential way, that he was sitting in Kansas City with the Gerardo family, young Sasha grabbed the mic and said, "Hi, Gerardo family!" And as Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" played, there was the sense that thanks to this careful, but ultimately bravura performance, somewhere out there, great white Middle America just might be a goner.
