Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, who's husband Jesse Jr. won praise for his own speech earlier in the day to delegates on day one of the Democratic National Convention, says Michelle Obama did everything she needed to do in her much-anticipated remarks to close out the night. We caught up with Ald. Jackson waiting in the pancake line at the breakfast buffet after the delegates' morning meeting and got her reaction:

Bravo Sandi; she has spoken. You did not actually think that Sandi was going to talk against Michelle? Remember, this was a prepared speech, & did not come from the heart; Michelle said what the public wanted to hear to get votes for her husband, end of story. These very comments do not reflect her previous actions, especially actions taken at UIC Hospital.
I hear all this talk about softening Michelle's image. What for? What I see is the same thing I see from many non-white people; "entitlement" & a "chip on their shoulders" based on past wrongs. It is the same thing with anything we do in this country. All this talk about the economy; our economy is eroding because of all the things taxpayers like myself pay for people of entitlement who want free hand-outs like free schooling, free food, food stamps, free medical care... the list is endless. I would like to hold on to my hard earned money, instead of wasting it on everyone else who can't pull their weight.
Now there's something Michelle or Barack can talk about.
