Well Michelle Obama sure knocked it out of the park with her speech.
How do I vote for her?
Because, unlike her husband, I can actually envision Michelle Obama personally kicking the piece of shit lobbyists out of the fucking White House. Unlike her husband, I can actually picture Michelle Obama demanding that fucked up bullshit like ACTA be hauled out from behind closed doors and be made public and transparent. Unlike her husband, I'd like to think that Michelle Obama would tell people to go fuck themselves before she caves into opposition pressure and moves her address.
Michelle Obama is a woman who doesn't take shit and gets stuff done!
Or so I'd like to imagine...

Maybe it's just wishful thinking because I'm not thrilled with the idea of re-electing President Obama... and I'm even less thrilled with the idea of having Mitt Romney in the White House for four years.
Or maybe I'm just tired.
Sick and tired of politics in this country.
But I watched all of the Republican National Convention... so I guess I'll watch the rest of the Democratic National Convention just to be fair.
If nothing else, it gives me an excuse to put off packing my suitcase for a while longer.

One of my first thoughts while watching Michele Obama tonight was that if she was setting the tone for the convention, it is going to be something completely different.
Her husband? I haven’t given up on him yet. He walked into a completely fucked up situation and all these people were opposed to him succeeding in any way. Yeah, maybe some of it was him but really I would not trade places with him. If I had to deal with the crap that he has, I’d be screaming at folks. And so I admire him for keeping his cool through it all. But most importantly, Michelle made a point to connect to the average person and to point out that she and her husband are not that different from the rest of us. And yes, I know politicians say this all the time but she made it sound sincere.
Also Michelle made it clear. Her job is being a mom. But maybe she can be an Oprah kind of mom. (In his book Denis Leary said that Oprah has never had kids because she’s too busy being mom to the rest of us.) Of course you do realize that Michelle is probably not going to give you American cheese or pudding cups, don’t you? Then again she will probably give you the most incredible vegetarian meal that you have ever had.
And on a shallow note, I loved her dress. Which is not the dress I see in that photo.
I was moved by the speech, and harbor unrealistic hopes that a second term will see a correction of what was probably (hopefully) a result of relative youth and indiscretion. Much like Tequilacon.
