[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not an Michelle Obama fan, nor am I a fan of her husband, because they are politically far to the left of me.  I expect if he gets a second term, Barack will trend further left.

In spite of that, I think Michelle hit it out of the ball park with her speech last night.  It did what it needed to do, it humanized the president, which is hard to do for any president after 4 years of policy fights.   It emphasized that he was the everyman who lived the American dream and became president.

But, I still know Michelle Obama has in her the "first time I have ever felt proud of my country" spirit.  I know that the campaign outside of the convention is highly negative on both sides and that all politicians lie.   Michelle gave a good speech, but she is not nor will she be president in the next few years.  She might make a fine president, but this is about Barack and the Democrats and Romney and the Republicans.

Plain and simple:  "It's the Economy, Stupid."[/quote]

For you, perhaps, but as a woman of child bearing age, the Republicans' obsession with my and every other woman's reproductive capacity is disturbing. Romney wants to cut all funding to Planned Parenthood. I don't know you, obviously, but the anti-choice people in my life are frequently the ones who think sex education teaches kids how to be sluts, believe birth control is a sin, complain about the ungodliness of abortion, and then bitch and moan that there are a [i]certain kind[/i] of people who "keep having kids." And if you haven't met these all-star thinkers, I am very glad for you. The threat to reproductive freedom, even birth control! is at stake.

And if Obama trends left, good! He's been a moderate Republican these past four years.[/quote]
