The Democratic National Convention was home to many speakers
over the course of the 3 days including the first Latino keynote speaker, Mayor
Julian Castro and Former President Bill Clinton. However the scene stealer was
no other than the First Lady, Michelle Obama whose speech no doubt increased
the popularity of her and her husband. According to CNN, a recent poll showed
Michelle Obama to be the nation’s favourite First Lady with 72% of the vote.
Michelle’s speech not only depicted Barack as a good politician who sticks to
his word but also as a human being who has had his fair share of struggles
before making it as the President. She showed him to have a personality outside
of what he stands for as a president but also managed to incorporate some of
his key policies such as better health care and increasing student aid.
“Well, today, after so many struggles and
triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have
imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are
– it reveals who you are. ...... at the end of the day, when it comes time to
make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values,
and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are....” - Michelle
Obama, DNC, September 4th, 2012
