First Lady Michelle Obama speech spoke to me. Her speech was inspirational and put smiles on thousands of people faces, in fact that’s one reason why I choose her speech. Her speech touched many grounds and she also did not criticized other opponents running for President.
Michelle Obama explains how she loves the American spirit and how she experienced so many things since Obama became president. She discussed how people in America work together to help others that were in natural disasters, the teachers that worked with no pay in a school system that went bankrupted, and how the soldiers fight for the country. That’s what America is all about, working together.
“I give my eyes 100 times again to have a chance to do what I have done and what I still can do”, Michelle quoted this from a soldier who lost his eyes due to a bombing in Afghanistan and the quote basically proves that although bad things happen in life that you got to keep on moving forward . She explains how bless we are as a whole to live in American, the land of opportunity.
Michelle talks about the similarities that her and President Obama had as a child. Both of them grew up without luxury items but they had the greatest gift ever, unconditional love. They both believe that many people do not start with much but you can build a stronger groundso you can be able to provide and support yourselves and also kids, if you have any. She believes that the truth matters and that there should be no short cuts in life and that everyone should value other people help and effort and everyone should be treated with respect.
Michelle touched on many issues such as, she strongly believes that things should not be done the political way; things should be done the right way. In her speech said everyone should be able to afford medicine, go to doctors’ visits as needed, not go broke because of accidents or illness and she also believed that women are strong enough to make their own decisions about their own body and health care. Another issue she talked about was about young people being able to attend college. She stated that if it was not for finical aid that Obama would not even been able to attend college. Obama wants to increase aid and decrease the interest rate and Romney wants to do the opposite. She believes Romney is making his decision based on a personal view although he tries to make it look political.
“He know the American dream because he believes everyone has an opportunity no matter who we are, where we are from and how we look”, Michelle stated this about her President Obama because he wants everyone to have a chance in life and the issues that were discussed in the Republic National Conventions basically knocks that opportunity down.
First Lady Michelle speech is very convincing. She proves that the man she fell in love with did not change because he was choosing to be president but he was giving the power to make a change the world, a change for the better. She says “Success is not about money, but it’s about the difference you can make in people lives”. Her speech convinced me that Obama is a good and strong candidate that wants to see the people have a better future.
