Isn't it tradition for the first lady to speak...but she is about to put me to sleep if she doesn't cut the monotone. Where is the feisty spicy Teresa we have all come to know and love???
The Hubble telescope? This is the most disjointed speech I've ever heard in my life. She's talking about everything BUT her husband. I guess that's a smart move.
She wants women's voices to be heard? What, was that copied from the 1930s memo?? Listening to this woman is really painful. Hahahaha. "Earned his medals the old-fashioned way." Tell us what he did with those medals after the war, babe. What a riot.
Faos, you can wake up now, she's finally done. She's currently getting ripped to shreds for her speech on MSNBC.
?? Whaaa?? I thought she has lived a tough life, growing up in a dictatorship in Africa. (Nevermind her father was a doctor.). I mean, just think how much discrimination an African American - a label she insists on (?!???!) - like her gets on a daily basis. It must be unbearable.
IT's ashame when someone who is so smart, and has experienced so much isn't better received. I think her speech started well, but got monotenous as it went on. She's extremely bright and very accomplished.
For all the ragging on Teresa it sure is a shame that her speech was better than anything our illiterate president could come up with.
Bush went to Yale. And you? Can't you just agree that her speech was horrible? She should have never been the featured speaker of the night.
Well Bush should call Yale back and ask for a refund because he isn't very intelligent and he got ripped off. He has uh er oh uh trouble thinking on his feet. I never said her speech was great. I said her speech was better than anything I have ever heard out of Dubya's er uh oh er heh umm mouth.
Sorry boys, but my three year old can speak extemporaneously and/or deliver a speech better than W. Berating other speakers while your president is barely literate is kind of moronic.
This may shock you, but I will agree that Bush is not the best at giving speeches. He's also a terrible teleprompter reader. But that does't mean he's "barely literate".
I actually enjoyed her speech and thought that it was delivered well. For someone that has had trouble taking elementary Spanish in college, I can certainly respect a woman that knows five different languages well enough to get up in front of a group of millions watching on television and give a speech. I liked the part about being "opinionated."
THK's speech started off funny. It was good. She made light about her outspoken reputation, and it was good. She also made a good point about being smart and well informed. The speech just droned on for too long.
Iagree the spech was a bit too long. Otherwise, it was good. Contrast that with the whole Laura-Barbara Bush routine of publicly cheerily teaching a black kid to read while defunding children's reading programs. One of these days the whole Republican thing of playing wedgie politics with the resentment of working class men and their fear of accomplished women will backfire. The times they are a changing.
