Michelle Obama to Speak On Convention's First Night

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign announced yesterday that his wife, Michelle, will be the star attraction on the opening night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 25.

Following Michelle Obama on Monday, the "headline speakers" for the rest of the convention will be Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday, Obama's vice presidential choice on Wednesday, and Obama on Thursday. The convention will move that day to Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium, and Obama will officially accept the party's nomination before a crowd expected to reach 75,000.

Two of the dates will be rich with symbolism. Clinton, who came closer than any woman to winning a major-party nomination for president, will speak on the 88th anniversary of women receiving the right to vote, and Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Only media, ignorant liberals and RINOs are hate-america types that would so bash our President and Vice President. And those who would not know the history of this great country and how we began as a God-fearing people, honoring His laws and word.

Reading the posts, ya’ll are wrong, she will be Opra, Mother Theresa, Mrs. Doubtfire, the Good Fairy, Princess Leia...;
she will try to immunize herself from any criticism from that point on. Then she will go on offense.

[the invisib1e hand]

I’m just saying I think Michelle is Obama’s testosterone fix; she is his backbone. She looms large in all he is.

[Atchafalaya]

O tay...I pray that Michelle et al just do the best and overreach, overreach, overreach; they have done a good job so far. ENCOURAGE IT!!!!
Now you figure out my reply

[Atchafalaya]

Ohh, ya’ll jus racist

The majority of 'pledged delegates' are bound to vote for the candidate who won thier vote. This bond is valid for the first round voting only. If a single candidate does not win the nomination on the first round then the delegates are released from their bond and can vote for anyone in the second and next rounds.

Michelle Obama to address the convention. Excellent. She’ll give a speech to the Dems that all America will hear, saying Barack has your souls, he’s gonna shake you ‘til your ignorance falls out, and never let you go back to your old ways because he’s your soul daddy come to fix the world.
Excellent...

Hopefully the N.A.G.s will raise hell for Hillary when this carnival side show starts up with Mrs. Obamma Lamma ding Dong on the podium speaking.

Dang I'm feeling weak, Mighty Weak.

Your name Atchafalaya makes me mighty hungry for some good Gumbo, Fried Okra, Red Beans with Chow Chow, Cornbread and some awesome Fried Taters this morning with some of my mothers great Pecan Pie.

Say the word Chow Chow here in these parts and the good folks just grin a say Hot Tamales.

It will be like Jean F. Kerry’s speech, where the speaker is trying to sound like a patriot in front of a live audience of America hating communist. I wonder if they have an ‘applause’ sign or canned audience response.

Oprah is obviously dressing Michelle. Someone posted an older photo...a pre-Oprah photo. Michelle was a mess.

[freespirited]

Yes I was kidding. ;-)

What passes for scholarship at Princeton is officially pathetic with that thesis.

The question remains, Will she also play with her crotch instead of paying honor to the flag of the USA?

d this from an article a week or two ago. I'm not sure what it means...

"Around two dozen Hillary Clinton supporters, some carrying signs saying "Dump Dean," attempted to shout down Democratic national chairman Howard Dean during an appearance in Charlotte today.

The protesters, who described themselves as members of a group called "Charlotte Front and Center," shouted and waved signs as Dean spoke to about 150 people at a voter registration rally on West Boulevard.

The demonstrators said they were protesting what they said was a decision not to put Clinton's name in nomination at next month's Democratic convention.

Dean was briefly drowned out by shouts such as "I own my vote."

"I'm gonna let these folks shout a little bit because I can't hear you folks," Dean said, pausing his speech for a short time.

"There will be a roll call vote at the convention if Hillary Clinton wants one," he went on. "We all respect each other and we certainly respect Sen. Clinton. This is a unified party. It is not easy to be on the losing side and I know ... because four years ago, I was on the losing side."

The shouts continued intermittently. When Dean mentioned what he called "the biggest job for President Obama," protesters shouted "He's not president!"

Since the Democrat Party morphed into the Party of Obama. It’ll definitely be quiet music night here at the Jumpy household that week!

I’m picking okra in my garden now; had some smothered with tomatoes with supper tonight. Kinda hot right now for gumbo, besides I’m out of ducks; I hope to remedy that situation in a couple of months or so. Hot tamales, lol.
