Has any First Lady given such a speech?

[blaze]

I'm so impressed!!!

[calimary]

1. She's KILLING!

She's just KILLING!

WOW! And those damn arms, too... (jealous!!!!)


"My most important title is "Mom-in-Chief."

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Just freakin' MAGNIFICENT.

3. Her husband has gone a little gray, but Michelle is still brining it! (nt)

[bayareamike]

2. That last sequence

of running through great events in American history and tying it in with marriage equality: perfection.

[calimary]

7. Class! Such CLASS!

DAYUM! That woman has CLASS.

Makes me proud! I was standing, clapping, hooting, and getting choked up!

PROUD to be an American Woman - with a woman like her as a role model!

[no_hypocrisy]

4. I think Michelle Obama just won the election for Barak.

[KatyaR]

5. OMG, she's absolutely incredible.

She's brought the audience to tears....

What a heartfelt speech, she's so natural on that stage, what grace and love she shows.

[fugop]

6. I know I'm biased ....

... but damn. We Democrats really do have the very best First Ladies you can get. Michelle and Hillary? Can you deal with that, Republicans? No you can't!

[calimary]

8. Or as they say on the other team, "HELL NO YOU CAN'T!"

Lawrence O'Donnell is calling hers the best speech by a First Lady - ever.

That was MAGNIFICENT!!! As was she!

[lumpy]

11. O'Donnell is correct. The best speech I have ever heard also. I would rank her speech

up there with our Presidents Obama, Kennedy and Roosevelt. She conveys that she is speaking from the heart and her heart is true.

[abumbyanyothername]

13. It was a bit different context

But I still think Hillary's speech in 08, technically a speech by a First Lady, was better than this one.

But that is setting the bar pretty damn high.

[central scrutinizer]

9. but but but they have Barbara Bush

just kidding - that harpy is the stuff of nightmares.

[ailsagirl]

10. She is such am amazing woman

A very emotional, honest, humbling, and rousing speech.

[Retrograde]

12. If I had a time machine

I'd like to see a round table discussion with Abigail Adams, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama.

[cheezmaka]

14. The BEST First Lady in American History

PERIOD!

[budkin]

15. Best FL speech I've ever seen

[japple]

16. The conventioneers were just bowled over. They were right there with her every step of the way.

This is one of the most brilliant speeches I've ever heard, and the delivery was utter perfection. It was unbeatable.

I didn't watch the GOP convention so I "missed" Ann Romney's speech. Just by way of comparison, I watched it on youtube and there is absolutely no comparison. Ann was not speaking about love. She was not speaking from her heart. Her delivery was flat, most likely due to the subject matter. There was no spark, no fire, but there was lots of nervous laughter, Ann's. The audience looked bored for the most part. There was no joy, there were no tears, no emotion. It was kind of sad and pathetic to see after watching Michelle Obama's magnificence.
