Michelle Obama DELIVERS Powerful Speech













**NOT SURE WHICH ORDER THEY GO IN...WILL POST FULL VIDEO SOON**

No, this has nothing to do with music and no those videos will not have a Lil' Wayne guest verse or a T-Pain assisted hook (although that's not a bad idea for the remix). For those who did not see Michelle Obama give her speech at the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, they missed quite possibly one of the best speeches in recent memory. It wasn't just the oh "my husband will do this once he gets in office"...rather it was the potential First Lady giving a heartfelt and passionate speech about where Obama came from...not just the man you associate with "change". She talked about her father battling multiple sclerosis and him awaking an hour early every morning just so he could go to work. She touched on how her husband was a nervous wreck driving her and their first born daughter back from the hospital.

That is just what many people not only wanted to hear, but NEEDED to hear. All too often in politics it's a game about what one person can do if they get picked...which is the nature of the game. But rarely do you get a candidate who can empathize with the public on such a personal level. It was REAL, something you don't get to often in politics. She related to the person who is working 35 hours a day to make ends me...to the person who is unemployed and can't find work anywhere in sight...to the family who is trying to do right in a world full of wrongs. She stood there proud, she stood there strong...she stood there as a proud, strong BLACK WOMAN...a polar opposite from what is portrayed on a day-to-day basis.

Now who knows what the Obamas will if the election swings their way...I just hope they deliver on all this talk. But even if it was for one night only, I finally do have hope...which I haven't really had about America in quite some time...

Hopefully Sam Cooke will be right this time...change is gonna come…
