    I think Michelle Obama just wanted to say some words that made DNC voters feel a feeling of superiority as the party they voted for did very little to address the material conditions the voters lives, while the RNC repeatedly enacted their policies of racism and oppression, hoping the voter would think “things are just slower when you do them ‘the right way’.”

      Michelle was front and center of the public attempts to whitewash GW Bush after his presidency, I think too many people hold her and her husband on a pedestal that only looks impressive compared to what we have now. They’re both still just politicians.
