Quoth my wife, born in Australia and now an American citizen with libertarian leanings:
“The best thing about Michelle Obama’s speech was her dress. Really, that’s a great dress.”

Best line of Michelle's Speech..."And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity…you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."
BTW:Here is ***BREAKING NEWS***
It's OVER, Ron Paul is going to announce his 3rd party Candidacy... tomorrow.

I've always been perplexed by this vacuous notion of "giving back" (rather than simply giving), as if those of us who are successful have taken something's that didn't belong to us.
Michelle, like her husband, has failed to recognize that her experience (being rewarded without having earned the reward) is emphatically not the universal experience.
JimH| 9.5.12 @ 7:33AM
The ‘giving back’ may relate to the Caribbean black practice of the sou-sou, where a group of people each contributes a small amount to a common pool and each person in turn gets to have the money at appointed times.

Mitt was Born on Third Base but He thinks he hit a Triple.
JimH| 9.5.12 @ 9:32AM
Remarkable how no one among the Dems points out about how the Kennedy’s, Al Gore and others among them were born into wealth. Nor do they find it remarkable about how politicians such as Harry Reid after years of devoted exclusively to public service have become wealthy. Romney is notable in that he gave away his inherited wealth and earned his own.

For Barack Obama, perhaps "giving back" amounts to extending favors to the Islamists who helped him during his youth and student years. This would explain many of his policies.
spike59| 9.5.12 @ 6:06AM
well, it doesn't have the same ring as "Come on, GIVE me something..." or 'for the first time in my adult life, i'm proud of my country'
Truth to Power| 9.5.12 @ 9:08AM
Giving back is when your husband gets elected to the Senate and mysteriously your salary goes up by well over a factor of two. When she left the job was eliminated. Everything about the Obamas and the Democratic Party smells of a third world kleptocracy.

Michelle practices YELLOW Journalism, I would say the SLANT to her work is obvious.I would not pay even 5 dollar, for her 'work' because it never leaves me with a HAPPY ENDING.

Well, we have the expression "empty suit." I guess we now need the expression "empty dress."
bluecollarbytes| 9.5.12 @ 12:32AM
in a fashion sense, that might be News

That is a good illustration of what is first and foremost in women's minds when it comes to politics. "What is the candidates wife wearing?" It's what all those suffragists had in mind when they were fighting for the passage of the 19th amendment.

A very pretty (afternoon party) dress, although inappropriate for the venue.

It would be most embarrassing if Barny Frank showed up in the same outfit.
