VIDEO: Watch Michelle Obama As She Impressed Americans With Her Speech

«§» 5 September 2012

American First lady Michelle Obama Tuesday night wows Americans as she defended her husband’s record and character at the opening of a Democratic convention.



“Barack and I were both raised by families who didn’t have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable – their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.”

“As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people,” she said “But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are.”

She said Mr Obama was inspired by his own background when advocating for laws involving fair pay for women, healthcare and student debt.

He had not been changed by the White House, she said, and was “still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago”.

“He’s the same man who started his career by turning down high-paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighbourhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities.”

In the toughest moments, she added, “he just keeps getting up and moving forward… with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.”

I still believe she can run for president... and win. This speech was supposed to be aimed at her party supporters but never once did she name her party or criticise tbe opposition... it was for all Americans. Grade A+. On comparing Patience with her...that's not fair cause English is not Patience first language.
