Lunch blog 2 -- Michelle Obama's Speech

Much has already been said about the speech. I won't rehash it here, other than to say that I hear women upset because they think she had to be almost a caricature of a traditional woman. Men focus more on her excellent execution of strategy -- not being an angry woman as she's been portayed. I am sympathetic to both sides' arguments, but...

I think is in unfair to assume she held something back. The point is we don't know her. We can't assume she is angry, or she is outspoken, or that if she had her way she would've given a different speech. She gave her speech with specific tactics in mind. On that measure, she was wildly successful. Even better, she allowed those at home watching to identify with her. Thst may not have been the campaign's target, but in that I think she was the most brilliant. Goodbye ridiculous elitist label.
