Despite rumors of tension, she honors Hillary Clinton “who put those 18 million cracks in a glass ceiling so our kids can dream a little bigger and aim a little higher…”
The cheer prompt was “people like Hillary Clinton.”
The big kickdown of her statement that the campaign made her proud of her country for the first time in her adult life….She winds up to the line: “You see, that’s why I love this country.” Big cheers.
She hails those who “kiss their kids good night and head out for the night shift…without disappointment.”
She hails the “military families who say grace each night with an empty seat at the table”: and “service men and women who love this country so much they leave home to defend it.”
She speaks of the cross current of history that brings her here.
The band plays "Isn't She Lovely" as she brings up the girls.

I was really hoping Michelle would share some of her lessons from the Sunday lessons at Rev. Wright's church. I am not sure how "I Love America" lines up with the dancing and clapping of Michelle's church.
Be real. Michelle doesn't love America or our unborn children. These people bring their daughters on the stage while we slaughter unborn children every day from every walk of life.
Wake UP America....Go John Go...
Such a good speech; authentic and exuberant. She hit it out of the park. For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, there was substance and hope for what we can build together. Michelle Obama - you rock!
