A tumultuous first day of the Democratic National Convention is in the books. I watched, tweeted and, candidly, ate and drank. (I mean, it was a long day.)

My take on the best and worst of the night that was is below.

Winners

* Michelle Obama: An absolute home run. Period. It will be difficult for anyone in the next three days to deliver a better speech than the first lady did on Monday night. She used her personal story of raising two young African American girls in the White House to tie her husband's history-making presidency to the history-making bid of Hillary Clinton. She was poised, calm and convincing. When she teared up talking about what it would mean to her, Malia and Sasha to see a woman elected president, it was an instantly memorable moment.

Remember this, too: Michelle Obama is not a politician. She has not run for any office — yet. It is not easy to get up and deliver a heartfelt, effective speech in front of a bunch of rowdy delegates and millions of people watching at home. Michelle Obama did it with an ease that suggests she may not be on the sidelines of the political game for much longer.

Michelle Obama is the worse example of a true blooded patriotic American. After living on the cuff of the American Tax Payers for almost eight years she is finally proud to be an American. Really pathetic. She is certain to bring race into every speech she gives.
Yep, Michelle Obama may finally be proud to be an American but I find her to be a very sorry representative of this once great republic.

She wakes up every morning in a house built by slaves! But her daughters play with their dog on the White Hut lawn.
