A defining moment.

Michelle Obama was inspiring in her speech at the DNC last night: "Speaking to the convention crowd, Michelle talked not just of the candidate who could be president but of the guy she married. 'And in the end,' she said, 'after all that's happened these past 19 months, the Barack Obama I know today is the same man I fell in love with 19 years ago. He's the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital 10 years ago this summer, inching along at a snail's pace, peering anxiously at us in the rearview mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he'd struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her what he never had: the affirming embrace of a father's love.'"

If you are interested but weren't able to see her speak last night, here's the speech:



The pundit response to the speech has been almost universally positive, as well it should be. She really did do a wonderful job, not only giving America a personal glimpse into herself, her husband and her family, but also revealing herself to be the type of woman that every young American girl, black or white, should aspire to be.
