CNN

Michelle was wonderfull. Best speach I ever heard a woman make. She was so lvery real

To be a good republican one has to be:
- Dumb
- Phony church goer
- Pretentious patriot

I was just moved...deeply moved by the Obama family tonight! What a couple, What a President and First lady. Oprah was right this is his time!!!!!

What Obama did tonight after his wife spoke was childish and did nothing to help himself.

Michelle Obama only did what any good wife would do for the husband regardless if they were a bad couple or a good couple, for this was just a showing for the American people. So I give her 0 points for her show.

Obama has chose the wrong person to be his VP and doing so started his own downhill slide. The democrat party will NOT win back the White House.

I am one of those Hillary Clinton supporters that is going to vote for McCain. That way at least we will know that we have someone as our President that knows what is needed to get done.

Michelle was fantastic,and so was the girls. take that Mcbush.

The hokey family scene was just another Obama family vignette similar to all the magazine covers.

Michelle looked softer than usual but not as striking.

She gave a fair stump speech, shared some family history, and softened her mean America comment to the "huge gap between where America is and where America should be...!"

But she did not share any warm, authentic information that would make Barack seem more down to earth and accessible!

And, her message was too left-wing Liberal to sway anyone outside the inner circle!

This former democrat will still vote for McCain 08! He is a moderate in touch with mainstream America!

Hopefully, America will see that the Obamas are like you and me! They don't grow tails at night! I am sure they love their families, worry about their future and care about the concerns that we as Americans have. Some of you are so hateful that you cannot see them as regular people. He has told you so much about himself, yet you continue to say "we don't know him." You should be finding out about the character and values of McCain. He is the one who is ruthless, have more lobbyist in his pockets than Bush and Cheney combined. Cheating and adulterous husband, involved with Keating 5 scandal, warmonger, and people are so tired of hearing about his POW experience that happened over 40 years ago. I feel his pain as a POW, but he continues to use that reason for every time he cannot answer questions of solving American issues.

I look forward to hearing from Cindy McCain; I hope they do not hide her by giving false excuses during the Republican convention!!! If she can match what Michelle did, I'd change from Independent to Republican, otherwise Obama has my vote...

Most seem to agree: Michele's was the finest speech by a presidential candidate's wife in living history! I like the way she celebrated Hillary's accomplishments. She wove her family's touching story with the enormous contribution of women and mothers to the American dream. Our family watched it together. This will no doubt represent one of our most inspirational collective experiences.

in my opinion the American people should build on family core values because, the family is the back bone of all societies. without the family where are. You have to remember charity begins at home and every member of any family has an important role to play no matter how small because every bit counts so kudos to Michelle Obama for taking such an active part in her husband bid for the next American President

And anyway McCain
what makes you think that people want to follow you to the gates of Hell looking for man and giving there soul to the Devil you are crazy,
No draft ,no McCain
Obama for Change

You people in the press don't have a clue. I strongly suggest you go back and listen to some of your irrelevant and inane comments. I
wonder if you are watching the same convention I am.
It is becomming apparent the majority of the people are too stupid to be governed,and the press knows it. The press also knows they can tell the people anything and they will believe it. The truth is you are too stupid to be listened to and eventually will become irrelevant.

Michelle obama gave a heartwarming speech letting america know we all can achieve great success by beleiving in ourselves. An example is barack started on the south side of chicago.

Lagrange ,ga loves Obama.

McCain will reopen the draft and he coiming after your sons and daughter.
Have anyone every counted how many times the word war comes out of he's mouth. He's a bitter man about his time in the war.On the Forum with Rick Warren the other week he was asked about evil, Remember? and he when right to my friends I will catch Bin Laiden even if I have to follow him to the gates of hell, Thats what he said and people still want to vote for him! Come on America we dont need this . Its time for a change,
I didnt vote Bush in the White yall did the McCain supports and look at us, Half of america people cant even vote but pay taxs. What kind of world is this, If McCain wins and he will come after your kids and grandkids, Its your fault you gave them to him. McCain you can't have my boys,

Vote Barack Obama 08

Dear republicans -

Obama has as much experience as Ronald Regan, Abraham Lincoln, and 15 other past presidents. What are you afraid of?
I thought democrats were supposed to be the wusses.

This will be such a refreshing change for America.Finally some peace and harmony.

WOW!! Did Barack ever pick a WINNER!!!!!!!!!

If you are half as good at president as you are a picking a life mate and a running mate, Barack, America has got a winner!!!

Michelle is a GEM !!

She makes us Proud!!

Rosen very true. This is where America meet the truth and as the good word say, the truth will set you free. The times they are CHANGING! As Elanor Rosevelt, Hillary Clinton, so too Michelle O will reshape the role of the First Lady and they will not just be cookie cutter first lady, that put on an image that is bland, dumb and supportive of Husbands that are less than honorable. I can't wait for Powell, Hagel and others to endorse Obama on Thursday!

Also, "WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN" We know they will find a tape or him around October 15th, just Like McCain, Bush, Cheney conspire to start a WAR in Georgia, but it backfired, they pull that lever too fast and YES that "Ole Dog" won't bite! "O-BIDEN" N O8

CNN is so bias they couldn't even cover the House Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Claire's speeches– It is obviously who CNN is supporting. I can't get it why they couldn't cover House speaker's speech–pathetic. The same thing CNN was doing 8 and 4 years that got stupid man elected twice. MSNBC or ABC should have covered this Democratic convention not CNN. All they were showing us 're bored people like Glory, Bill Schneider and James Carville.

I swear that the pride i saw in that man's eyes when he popped up on that screen was PRICELESS..and he had every reason to be

This was a genuine night. CNN, let's try to leave it at that. No more hate!

Please tell me what part of that scene was anti-American?

Michelle O….a resounding applause to you! There were many, many people shown in the crowd during her speech that were moved to tears. Just seeing how she is imploring the American people to see that Barack is a normal person with the same red blood running through him as you and I. He just happens to have darker color on his skin. Should Americans sit back while the world watches and waits to see if we fall in this test of the world power that we are because of our own inadequacies to transcend the color of mere skin and not look to the bigger picture? No, we need to RISE UP and show the world we are a MIGHTY power indeed and will be reckoned with for our tenacity in holding a mighty nation together! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Just watched the Democratic Convention.
Before I roll with my thoughts, I feel I need to let you know how I stood going into this evening.
I was a STRONG supported of Hillary Clinton, one, because I wasn't familiar with Obama, Two, McCain will be another Republican puppet. I DID NOT like Michelle Obama from the get go, she just rubbed me wrong...
Well...., times are a changing! Sometimes as Americans we take for granted the obvious. I do not consider myself to have a prejudice bone in my body, that is true. What I didn't realize is you don't have to be prejudiced to block out somebody that looks different. My eyes have finally seen the light. Mrs. Obama was not the problem, I was the problem. We as Americans are the problem. Its time as she said to look at this world as it should be and not how it is. Its time for TRUE Americans to swallow our old ways of thinking and rise to the level our fore-fathers. Our time had come and gone once before with JFK, we didn't have the chance to see his dreams fulfilled. I found the person that could carry the torch of promise and hope, I saw it in his wifes eyes and felt it in my heart. I was to young when JFK was around, I only know of his promise because my family would tell me of what we almost had, and how it was taken too soon. I won't sit by and then have to tell my kids the same story.
We won't get another opportunity again like this for a long time, if we ever do again. I don't care if your Republican, Democrat, Independent, Communist, Atheist, well... You get the idea. We are Americans FIRST!
John McCain is one of our greatest Americans to ever grace our country, honor, service and integrity. He's got it all. Or does he... I don't want a war hero as my President, I want an American who wants what is best for all Americans not the few priviledged.
If you are a true American, think like one, and for once do the right thing for everyone. In the end it will benefit you 10 fold.
Obama for President

So, NOT that I don't ENJOY the endless droning of commentators on these political events, but I was waiting to see the moderately-touted "video about Barack Obama" that had been listed as "later" in the text for, oh, a couple hours. Then, when I finally reached the moment where instead of "next", it said "now" (!), all I could see was occasional, distant glimpses of the video in the background, while the same droning commentators continued to, like, comment. Dang. Double dang.

What's up with that? I wanted to see the video but apparently CNN, in its superior wisdom, knew that I needed to hear still more commentary. Uh, thanks, CNN. I guess.

Watching the convention was both exhilirating and exciting. What was annoying was the awful commentary by some of the CNN news team. Analysis is fine, but stop trying to form opinion on how the convention is going. I will be tuning into a different station for the rest of the coverage. What a shame!

your wife is an angel!u are lucky man barack obama

Fantastic to see the love and admiration between the couple. Best family suited to live in White House.

Michelle Obama showed the world that she loves America and believes that it is for the future that we need to change the direction of the country in order to benefit all families of America. A GREAT JOB!

Michelle Obama 2012!!!

Obama's real success is owed to Michelle.
What a great family Obama has .. Incredible.

People know much about the Obamas but still pretend or at least the media keep the hype going, just as they kept the primaries going, for one and only one reason: Make money on the ads.

On the other hand, I think they also know Mcphoney and wife, MCthief.

It beats me how a woman will steal medication from children, innocent desperate children, who may die from lack of their medecine, and still claim to be pro-life.

When you produce beer that kills, and steals children's medecines from your own charity, I think that is pretty hypocrit.

His demeaner was a great affirmation of the good job Michelle Obama did. He looked , spoke and acted like the proud husband and father that he is.

Quick back ground on me:
I was born in Chicago approximately a mile from the Obama's current home. Of our clan of about 300, I am the first college graduate. For most of my career I was struggling to demonstrate that I belonged in the positions I held. I am now 66 and retired. I said all of that to say this. The times are truly changing. Obama might become president, but I think there may still be enough discomfort with the idea of a U.S. President being black to throw the election to McCain who on paper seems like he should be an easy candidate to beat. This subject is too big to continue in this space . . . So I will just end it right here.

Michelle's speech was awesome!!!
I believe Michelle Obama and Hiliary Clinton are true Americans women and they both believe in helping the American people. I feel that Hiliary will be there for her party and her voice will be heard.

Everyone, is talking about the security of our country, this issue is very important to all Americans, but who put us in this position?

I also feel that the children of America is of great importance, and we do need to invest more in our families and the future of our country, which are our children.

There will always be those who will disagree, with Michelle and Barack Obama. I will support them along with my family and friends and I do agree with Biden as VP.

(Just, think no matter who he would have chose there would be a disagreement)
Thank-you

I do not know. I did not watch it (the democrat national convention) and do not plan to. As soon as I seen how the democrat leadership put the fix in and how the media was in the tank for Obama and listen to all the famous statements that Obama , his wife and campagin surrgoates made about America and white people my mind was made up. I will be voting for John McCain with four other adults in this family.

Michelle was phenominal tonite. I could feel the emotions go right thru me as I sat and watched her speech.

Thank you Michelle for that exciting, emotional, exhilarating, beautiful speech. I know Barack was so proud of you and we as supporters are very proud to be on the journey with you and Barack.. There is HOPE out there that we haven't seen for so very long and it creates an uplifting presence that America has needed for the last 8 years. I am volunteering for your Campaign in Farmington Missouri and we are working hard as a team to get you to the White House!!!!

Sincerely
Brenda Dickey

As a total Obama supporter, I hate to say it but it might become another Princess Diana story. Michelle might become much more talked about than Obama and she should after tonight's speech. I think the republians will have to look long and hard for critism of her. She has finally "got it" and it AIN'T going away. Look out Obama Michelle has stolen the show from you but being the loving husband you seem to be, I really don't think you would mind.

Lots of minority faces in the crowd.

Next up...GOP with Lots of minority faces ON the Stage....NONE in the crowd!

..and this is somehow news?

Michelle Obama's speech was incredible!! Not even the republicans are mad at that. The Obamas' have a great family and relationship that's the kind of love this country needs. We also need a tough president and I'm sure you don't get this far as an African American with out being tough...

Barack and Michelle are an amazing couple with a beautiful family. It is testament to his character to see Barack sit back and allow is wife to take center stage. Tonight was wonderful and I am so proud that I have made the choice to vote for them Obama/Biden 08 & 12!! God Bless our families and God Bless America!

As a American living and working abroad in Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Kuwait; I am treating and respected as a True American; by Europeans and Arabs. But, in my own country I have to prove that I am a True American. This is not just a fundamental problem for Obama, but by every non white American. If this mentality does not disappear; American will continue to decline not only from within but abroad in the countries before mentioned. Europeans really have lost all faith in the American culture and government. I live it everyday. And Obama can help install and restore a level of respect never seen in American and around the world.

I had no idea she was that good of a speaker.

I'm still not sold on you or your husband but I'll give him a chance to earn my vote.

I was absolutely thrilled with Ted Kennedy's segment. I am still awe inspired by Michelle's speech. Oh by the way what's that long object? There, above you just out of reach? It is the proverbial bar Mrs. McCain. Just leave it alone. Some people got it. Some people just don't ever get it baby.

Today I am even more proud to be an American. All-around platinum performance!!

OBAMA- WHAT A GOOD CHOICE FOR A WIFE...THE BEST SPEECH OF ALL TIMES!!!!

The Clinton preached "Family Values" and we all now how that turned out! John Edwards cheated on his wife while she was sick. Why should anyone listen to the liberal message now?

Michelle Obama hit a home run! She has shown that her family could be any american family.

The Democrats put the icing on the cake tonight. They got into our sub conscious minds. First Senator Kennedy reminded us about his brother, John and then Michelle Obama spoke about her family. Some how Camelot has returned. Think about what happened!!!

Why did you pick a caucasion canidate instead of an african american or hispanic or hiliary, who had fifty percent of the votes, that could of helped you secure the white house?

I cannot believe the beautiful speech that Mrs. Obama gave tonight. I had never really listened to her speak before and had only heard what the media played over and over. I realize that the Obamas are more like me than any other candidates. They have struggled in their lives, they worry about their kids, and they live their lives hoping for a better future for their children. I wish that my mother could have lived to see this day that a future first lady could speak to your heart in a way to let you know that they truly understand you. Congratulations Barack and Michelle. You showed people tonight that you are a lot like us!

We loved Michelle! She did a great job.

The speeches cannot make up for the fact that the majority of the citizens of The United States of America voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. The system has failed the people of this great country. I WILL NOT VOTE IN NOVEMBER.

As a veteran of the United States Army, a tax-paying citizen, and a civil worker representing american in the international community; why does the color of my skin does not make myself, Obama, or any other non white Americans "True Americans". Why does Obama or any other non white American have to prove they are true Americans? What makes McCain a True American or Bush who was a elluded the military? This is a fundemental problem of American and so called true Americans and it is destroying American from with in.

Barack thought he was in St. Louis! Wow. Not even knowing where you are on what is supposed to be an important night in both your own history and the history of our nation. He doesn't know where he is, yet we're expected to believe he'll get us to where we need to go. This lifelong Democrat, and Hillary supporter, will be casting her vote for John McCain.

Michelle Obama saved the night tonite. The convention was a bit boring. And I am a stauch Obma supporter!

This was simply a "Love Me Michelle Obama" moment, the intoduction by her mother almost made it appear as if she (Michelle) were the candidate.

Boring! (yawn), so so scripted...

Go McCain!!!

I am a Hillary supporter. First of all, Michelle was articulate and effective tonight.(I'll add beautiful at the risk of being called sexist). I don't think she did what she needed to do though. She convinced people that the Obama's are nice and smart people, but not necessarily that he should be the President of the United States. To see effectiveness, watch Hillary tomorrow. Oh what could have been!

Usually I am a big CNN fan. However, tonight the commentators could not be quiet long enough to allow any of the speakers, with the exception of Caroline & Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama, to be heard. I changed to ABC and heard several of the "common people, House Speaker, etc. CNN may be the best political team in your opinion, but tonight you were too involved in hearing your team speak and not the speakers. Very disappointed!!

She was fantastic!!!!

She did really well. And as for the comment by one of the commentators "The biggest surprise so far is how slowly this convention is getting off the ground. It is clearly pumping up people in the convention hall, but for a much larger national audience — the audience that is so important in November — there has been very little offered so far to rivet people's attention."
MAYBE IF YOU TAKE THE CAMERAS OFF YOURSELVES AND ALLOW THE LARGER NATIONAL AUDIENCE TO WATCH THE SPEAKERS WE CAN GET A LITTLE MORE EXCITED.
The CNN coverage was not really coverage, just a bunch of talking heads giving their opinions. An interesting fact: I turn to Fox to see what they were doing. Guess what. They were doing the same thing. CNN is becoming more and more like Fox. Where is the unbiased, no spin news station I started watching years ago. You have changed and I don't like it. I had to turn to PBS to actually enjoy the convention speakers. Nancy P. mention McCain at least FIVE times. They all did well. What more do you want. Cursing and fighting with a little bloodshed? Good heavens. David Gergen was in the terrible mood today. He should have called in sick. Carville and Jeff Tobbin were just weak in their analysis. Fox may have an opening.

I'm sure republicans are jealous and shking in their shoes. Democrats won tonight. Sorry Republicans.

TOO STAGED AT THE END. MRS. OBAMA GAVE A VERY WELL REHEARSED SPEECH. IT SOUNDED LIKE OBAMA COACHED HER VERY WELL AND VERY LONG. WHO EVER WROTE THE SPEECH DID A GREAT JOB. BUT IT WASNT MICHELLE OBAMAS WORDS I AM SURE. THIS FIRST NIGHT DID NOT SWAY MY VOTE ONE BIT.

I am proud to be an American this is what we need for a first lady, in comparison to McCain all I am hearing from him is war stories, he is out of touch with the America.

The critics ripped her apart before and to date I never heard Cindy McCain speak, why we Americans never ask who is Cindy McCain?

Obama 2008
Clinton/ Michelle Obama 2012

just brilliant

Michelle Obama YOU WERE MAGNIFICIENT! I am so proud to have you considered as a First Lady. I have recorded every moment of your speech and I will gladly and proudly watch it with my niece and any future granddaughters I have. No matter what they say about you-YOU bought it home tonight. That was a very emotional and intelligent speech. You made me really proud to be an American and I thought you and your daughters were just beautiful. Keep doing all the good work you do and I think Obama could take a few lessons from you on talking directly to the people. I actually felt every word you said.

Thank you.

Obama/Biden '08

Great, adorable family and a very beautiful , talented wife. What more can a man wish for.
God Bless Obama and protect him from Evil..
OBAMA (2008 -16)

keep stumpin michelle. your husband will find himself out of the primaries by 6-8 points once all is said and done. he and you might be decent human beings but you aren't fit to lead.

Another non-story.

I'll be more than honored to have Michelle Obama as my First Lady. What a woman!!!

Michelle Obama was sincere and fabulous.

What a great speech. She'll be a special first lady. How exciting for their family.

She did wonderfully! Great job Michelle!!!!!

What speech I watched wrestling instead. I got no interest in convention.

So sweet!
