Rather than try to recap this, I'll just let you watch it yourself. One thing I should note: Michelle Obama is way more beautiful in person than on film. Hard to believe, I know.
I'm dazzled by her eloquence. Was there a word out of place in that speech? No. She cut directly to the heart of what matters most to me--why I'm a MOMocrat and Obama-Biden supporter: it's the future my child inherits and the well-being of people I care about.
The genius of this movement is that by securing the things that affect us individually, we become committed to the common good.
And though fear and even hate are powerful motivators (as we've seen this week), the most powerful of all is what we are moved to do through love.
