First lady’s apolitical image big part of her political draw

“There is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend, Hillary Clinton”, she said, before outlining the qualities of her husband’s 2008 primary rival.

“I’m absolutely fired up”, Obama said in an interview in February 2012, “but I always have to have balance, because I’m a mother. They’re like, ‘Where were you?'” Referring to his proclivity for Twitter, the first lady said that the next president will need to understand issues that “cannot be boiled down to 140 characters”. “I think the top made it feel powerful and the bottom made it feel soft and kind of romantic”.

“It’s so amusing how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for the movie”, Jones tweeted.

How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level. This is the foundation on which many of us were raised.

But the first lady’s appearance didn’t move Dioletis one inch closer to voting for Hillary Clinton, whom she loathes. “I’ve been working in women’s rights for my whole adult life”, she said.

And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.

She praised Clinton for her record as a public servant and her “lifelong devotion to our nation’s children”.

And she forcefully urged the audience and the television viewers to reject Trump’s campaign motto, casting it as a cynical description of a country in crisis that she does not recognize. But here’s the thing. And looking back, it’s not clear that he has ever really targeted her in a forceful way.

Earlier that year, Trump did take a little dig at the first lady, tweeting that she likes to be “addressed as “Your Excellency” ” and how she is “an excellent spender of taxpayer money”.

“I’m saying this as a partisan who takes the other side seriously; this speech is a grand slam for Dems”. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.

“You can’t have a thin skin or tendency to lash out”. There are times when she seems like the person who is asked to say grace before Thanksgiving dinner, when the words, no matter how inspiring, can’t ever quite supersede anticipation of what’s coming next. “Because this right now, is the greatest country on earth”, she said. “No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together”, Obama said.

And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.

But her 2016 speech may go down as one of the most memorable of the entire election season.

People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.

Actress Eva Longoria, who spoke at the Democratic convention Monday night, launched a collection with fashion retalier “The Limited” that includes the white cap sleeve dress she wore in Philadelphia.

“I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my two black daughters playing with their dogs on the White House lawn”, Obama said during her speech, her voice breaking with emotion.

I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters – two handsome, intelligent, black young women – playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.
