I Like Barack, But I Love Michelle

I've been thinking this for some time now: I'm a big fan of Michelle Obama. I was reminded of this last night as she spoke at the Democratic National Convention. I remember first watching her during the early days of the primaries. She was poised, well-dressed, and confident, but it came across different than, well, another leading female in the spotlight. Then she was on the cover of Newsweek sometime in early summer, and I was again intrigued by this woman. She carries with her grace and guts, clarity and compassion, brazenness, beauty, and brains. While all eyes are on Barack, I continue to think the person to be watching just may be Michelle.
