As Ms. Obama spoke last night I was glued to the TV. I was sure she would tell us how wonderful her husband is and that he would save us from the ravages of capitalism. I expected her to recount each and very one of the evils therein contained: profits; required effort; work; self-reliance, etc.

But instead she spoke eloquently about Republicans! I was mystified. Those among you who listened heard her numerous references to "hard working people looking for a job not a handout; folks who work two jobs just to make ends meet" and the like. She then mentioned military people "who love their country so much they leave the ones they love the most to serve..." and clearly that is not a Democrat value.

Democrats value sloth, lack of effort, no personal responsibility, dependency, and dishonesty. In short, none of the things she spoke of.

So why did she speak about Republicans? Maybe she is just one more Obamalamadingdong? Perhaps she is like most democrats, living in a world of her own invention? Maybe she has become mentally unhinged by the odious police state that is America?

p>More likely she is describing the folks from whom her husband will confiscate money to give to those who are the real democrat constituency: those people who do none of the things she mentioned. br> -- Jay Molyneaux br> Denver, North Carolina /p> p> Who cares about Michelle Obama? She'll have minimal impact on Barack being President (though could kill his chances if they let Michelle be Michelle). The only woman who can make or break the phony messiah is Hillary Rodham Clinton. If her loyal followers get it, they'll stay home in November realizing McCain is a one-term President and 2012 isn't that far off. br> -- Michael Tomlinson br> Camp Habbaniyah, Iraq /p>

Mr. Tabin's take is most interesting -- will it sell? One would hope not, but I really need a confidence builder from my fellow citizens.
