The other day I was watching some TV. I think it was on a public access or local news channel. Somebody was speaking fervently about politics. At first I thought it was Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The hair was right. But she did not have the face of Condoleezza. Then I figured it out. It was Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama.Michelle was quite the public speaker. She seemed to be able to discuss Barack's character and viewpoint on a whole host of matters. She also knew how to make the crowd laugh and cheer. I wonder why she has not been on the forefront a lot earlier.
In my mind, I thought it would be great to see Michelle and Bill Clinton speaking head to head. It could be the presidential candidate spouse debate. One would think that Bill Clinton could own anybody in the public speaking arena. But Michelle looked as if she could hold her own.
Now I am not a big fan of Barack Obama. But I found myself agreeing with a lot that Michelle Obama had to say. That's how you know that somebody is good. They make you question your own decisions and outlook on topics. We shall see how Michelle Obama's work affects the outcome of the democratic primary. I am excited to see.
