Too bad the Obamas don't practice what she preaches in the U.S.

The only right I have is to pay exorbitant taxes to pay for Michele's vacations. I also have the right to shut up about it too.

How is michelle's re-write of our history coming along or will that be done post Obama admin ?

How can freedom of speech be universal right. Can only happen if God given as He never goes back on a promise.

The best part is that the NSA has it archived for future generations.

Talk is cheap but it was still better that she said that than the opposite. It might signal that China will undergo changes soon.

It may not mean much, may not do much. But Im glad she said it. Im not fond of her or her husband clearly, but I must give her a positive comment for saying this.
Yes, I agree. And watching the reactions of the students, you could see they loved it, but sadly could not even talk about that part of the speech.

"Chinese students in the audience later thronged the first lady, taking pictures and selfies with their cellphones. But several students declined to discuss the rights section of Obama's speech, a reminder of the lack of freedom of expression in China, and the fear of speaking publicly on sensitive issues."

In China, Michelle Obama calls for universal rights

I do find it ironic how so many will cheer on what the first lady said but yet complain that McCain/Feingold was overturned.

And, yet, her camp wants to take that away from many Americans, particularly those they disagree with.

It's also ironic that so many are cheering a first lady who is anti-American.
