michelle obama speaks at the democratic national convention august 25th 2008.
her speech was truly amazing. only heard her voice once before and that was during the colbert report a while back i think. i almost wanted to cry. hell, she might just be faking it but judging from the way she speaks, i thought she actually really believed what she said.
i'd suggest you watch the clips when you have the time. i'm not even sure if barack himself can do better than her.
part 1
part 2
i thought what happened after the speech ended was a bit cheesy with barack joining her and the daughters via video feed. i'm sure there are other worse ways to portray a middle class american family. but whatevs.

why this woman resonates sexism we are against
i really dont understand how selfish this woman is. debra bartoshevich is a democratic wisconsin delegate but decides to cross-over and plan to vote for john mccain. she even appears in mccain's newest ad to be aired in key tossup states soon. transcript and video below:
DEBRA BARTOSHEVICH: I'm a proud Hillary Clinton Democrat. She had the experience and judgment to be president. Now, in a first for me, I'm supporting a Republican, John McCain.I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment.A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really!
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm John McCain, and I approved this message.
*warning: this ad is aimed for old people. a terribly directed video. this woman can't even act. and the background music is just down right horrid.
first of all, did you vote for hillary in the primary because you believed in her or because you believed in her messages?
second, almost every democrat can agree that the difference between hillary's and obama's plans for the country are so minute it's even ridiculous to debate the mandates of the two.
third, i dont understand how you can still vote for a republican like mccain who's almost always against what obama and hillary are for.
you seriously want to bet another four years of detrimental policies? mccain is not one who will reform the middle class, health care, taxes, and the energy policies. this is the guy who will pretty much continue the same policies of the bush administration, the guy who graduated at the bottom of his class, cheated on his first wife and married into wealth. he was on the fast track to a pampered, elite lifestyle. i dont get how mccain has the type of experience you were hoping for.
on the other hand, you have obama, who grew up with a single mom and at times ate with food stamps for crying out loud. jesus, my family never been down that low but i find it a truly worthy story of an american dream. the guy went to harvard and became the president of the harvard law review. he just finished paying off his school loans by writing a damn book. i mean, damn. this guy might be an opportunist but he sure is smart as hell.
and somehow you, along with about half of americans, still want an idiot to lead for the next four years. mind you, the past eight years we've had a screw up C student presiding. i just dont understand the logic. it's like, america is becoming the land of illogical or something.
anyway lady, i'm sure you're still angry and can't get over the fact that your favorite candidate lost. but hell, get over it already because surely at times like this, your ego is not as important as fixing the economy and re-building the society. have you never seen in the movies how idiots like you always end up screwing shit up and people like you usually get killed in thriller movies because of your idiocy?
you may talk about sexism and how women like hillary are unfairly treated in the media. but jesus, in this case what you're doing is strengthening people's stereotypical view towards angry women like you. you're hot-headed, cannot think logically, you're unable to weigh or differentiate between boon or bane, you want what you want when you want it.
people like you may just be able to wedge into the already deep wound in the democratic party and if dems lose this year, people will blame those like you who get cheap media attention and ruin the chances of the country to a greater good. people like you will cause sexism to go deeper than where it already is at.
i dont know if, in the future, the democratic party will be ready for people like you to hijack the party simply because you cannot grasp the idea that your candidate lost. and your candidate lost fair and square! just because your candidate is a woman doesn't mean that she's entitled to win automatically. what's sad is that you're using sexism as an excuse, which is sad because it makes me wonder if people like you actually like sexism just so that you can manipulate the democratic system.
seriously lady, you should seek mental help already. you should snap out of your denial before november 4th.

i wish i could eat this much
deep down i wish i could eat all these. but damn society forces me to stop eating and slim down a little bit so that i can fit in in skinny jeans and small tshirts without showing off any muffin tops. these girls deserve an award for their 'i'm so fat i don't care what you think cuz you're already inside me!' attitude. i wish i were as courageous...
