Just incredible the superior ideology that Michelle represents. President Obama is a great man. I'm proud to have a man of such character, depth, and substance at the helm.

Quick, get your flame retardant suit on! The right wing commandos are going to show up with their napalm any minute.

If someone suggesting to you that you eat healthy drives you crazy, then you probably have a really effed up diet, Twinkies for breakfast and Spam for dinner?

Figures.

They felt it because they are blind partisan Dems..... I am voting for most likely Gary Johnson..... some very pathetic people on here with their assumptions

She was full of crap just like most party politicians today..... I think Romney is full of crap too for the umpteenth time

It's important to carefully sort out our thinking when it comes to Politics (objectively created laws based on the greater good of society) and Religion (subjective morals based on specific spiritual teachings).

To translate, I am against abortion within the context of my religion. But I believe in a free society and a separation of Church and State. If I have an abortion, I should be punished within the community of my religion, not by my government.
"unless it's illegal, it's apparently ok?" Really? Killing Jews was legal once. Slavery was legal. Were those things ok at the time? I see the issue of abortion as no different.

Very moving speech. Just heard someone on CSPAN say he was clapping in his living room for her during the speech!

Here is the language on Israel in the 2012 Dem platform bragging about sending more US taxdollars to Israel while Americans suffer.


President Obama and the Democratic Party maintain an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security. A strong and secure Israel is vital to the United States not simply because we share strategic interests, but also because we share common values. For this reason, despite budgetary constraints, the President has worked with Congress to increase security assistance to Israel every single year since taking office, providing nearly $10 billion in the past three years.

Obama and the GOP will cut your kids Social Security benefits next year, but the aid to Israel just gets larger and larger.

Goes to show just how corrupted this Nation is.

Fatties giving diet advice drives me crazy. My diet is excellent.

Maybe true, but I know what fifty pounds of fat looks like, and that's the kind of weight she's carrying.

Christie should be locked in a closet. The fat warbling in his mouth also drives me nuts.

That is called her @ss, and it looks fine, again, I don't think you know what the word "overweight" means.

She was wonderful! And Julian Castro: OK, time to start placing bets. This guy'll be President. Finally, a Texas politician this Texan can admire. Ann Richards would have been so delighted with him.
