Michelle Obama's my latest hero

I really enjoyed Michelle Obama's speech during the opening of the DNC's convention. She is intelligent, an intellectual, down-to-earth, family-oriented. Her speech was so personable. But what I regret about hers and Obama's speeches is that they are forced to try to convince people that they are "normal". I've never seen politicians try so darn hard to do this. It's ridiculous that people have been convinced that they are out of touch --- or how I really think their critics would really call them, "uppity negroes". She didn't say anything that no reasonable person could not understand, appreciate and relate with. See what I mean.
