If you are woman that doesn't know the feeling Michelle is talking about, consider yourself lucky.

Michelle Obama in New Hampshire

I understand that this is a speech for Hilary but I think she does a good job of describing what many women deal with in their everyday lives.

Michele Obama nailed it.

Rarely a woman around who doesn't understand exactly what she was talking about.

I don't know how a parent can justify voting for Trump.

She is amazing, and her speech was wonderful. You can tell she's passionate about this serious issue. Everyone should watch it, for sure.

Joan rivers talked about how Michele can 'nail' things and ended up dying mysteriously.

You justify voting for Trump because the stuff about the Clintons is 100x worse. Lots of people seem to forget that Trump isn't running against a mythical president, he's running against her, so you need to compare him to HER and not compare him to an 'ideal president' which is what you're doing.

What are you even talking about? Your entire post makes no sense...and are you accusing Michelle Obama of killing Joan Rivers?

She yaps well now if she also gave a hoot about men's issues that women do to them then I'd take her seriously.

Otherwise it's another you better eat this, not that while her and her hubby do the opposite.

Here is a good Summary

Quote:
She also spoke emotionally of the personal impact his comments had on her and other women.

“The shameful comments about our bodies. The disrespect of our ambitions and intellect. The belief that you can do anything you want to a woman? It’s cruel. It’s frightening. And the truth is, it hurts.”
She said it was how women felt when they were catcalled on the street, or sexually harassed in the workplace, or sexually assaulted on college campuses.

“It’s that feeling of terror and violation that too many women have felt when someone grabbed them or forced himself on that and they said ‘no’ but he didn’t listen,” she said.
In a way I'm a little sad that this issue is being caught up in the election because of how many people are dismissing this as a problem. On the other hand I think that it is continuing to bring this issue to the forefront like the Brock Turner case. Once we start to realize how this effects women, even those that haven't been physically assaulted then maybe we can work to fix this problem.

"I'm officially done with the "she's so flawed but she is the lesser of two evils" rhetoric. Cause, you know, I'm flawed. And you are flawed. And Bernie Sanders is flawed and Barack Obama is flawed and even Michelle Obama is flawed. But the difference between all of them and me--and probably you, is that they have all given their flawed lives to public service. And now, they are all working together in their inevitably flawed ways, to save all of us, and the whole world from a sociopathic narcissist. And every day, Hillary puts a hopefully unflawed bullet proof vest on her flawed and aging and sometimes unsmiling self and stands up in front of people who have been incited by her opponent to shoot her, and she says calm and rational and intelligent (and sometimes flawed) things about how to make a difference. In my book that makes her a ****ing rock star. And in the words of another flawed and resilient rock star: There is a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." Pam Houston

I wish I had written this.
