I just got done watching Michelle Obama give a speech at the DNC, and I have to say she gave an incredibly impassioned and powerful presentation, perhaps almost as good as the speeches of her husband. It got me thinking that perhaps the idea was to start off the DNC with Michelle to perhaps win some of the Hillary fans away to worship another strong woman who might one day be president.

Maybe in 2016 the ticket can indeed be “Clinton/Obama” as in “Hillary/Michelle”.

Still I have to admit that the choice of music they played after her speech was a bit… well, demeaning. Here was this woman giving this very intelligent and empowering speech and they follow it up with “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder.

Now, I do like that song a lot, but it almost seemed to downplay how wonderful and well-done of a speech she gave, as if to say, “But, Hey! Nevermind how smart and talented she is, she’s just for looking!”

Okay, well, perhaps I’m reading too much into that, but I did notice that she was also wearing sleeves now. Apparently you can’t be the first lady in a sleeveless blouse.
