Michelle Obama was charged with giving the speech of her life to the Democratic National Convention in Denver and judging by the crowd's reaction, she didn't disappoint. We managed to weasel our way to the Illinois delegation seats on the floor for her address and here are some of the photos we got in the midst of one of the most jam-packed crowds a person could squeeze through.

Michelle is a good speaker, but the content of her speech seemed very scripted, and probably written by a crack team of speech writers. I'm sure she rehearsed it for several days. The speech said all the right things, but was hardly recognizable from her unscripted words spoken over several years ... like "America is a mean country' ... 'In my adult life, I've never been proud to be an American until now" ... and does not reflect the many years as the follower of Jeremiah Wright's black liberation philosophy. Michele's speech more accurately resembles an expedient attempt at damage control by way of an immediate severe, and not very believable magical massive makeover. Furthermore, Barack and Teddy, who would like you to believe they are above reproach, have been elevated to sacred cow status. Sorry about Ted Kennedy's illness, but Mary Joe Kopechne's life was snuffed out at age 29 ... so, you might want to revisit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Jo_Kopechne
