The Obamas were terrific
according to the consensus and chatter I heard at the coffee shop from the early-early crowd this morning. The girls were adorable; the speech wasn't too long. Pushed the right buttons. However, others in the crowd and on the platform left some pretty negative impressions on suburban citizens.- Aretha's song styling and hat were real turn offs.
What designer would put a classy woman like Michelle in a pea-green dress? She's got a great sense of style, but that? Oh dear! Aged her 10 years. Someone else said the press reported it as gold--but on TV it didn't look gold. I thought it looked like Queen Elizabeth's designer. Fortunately, I think these dresses immediately go to a museum.
The black preacher's prayer was racist.
Booing the president and vice-president (the crowd) showed we have poor winners, not poor losers. After 8 years of smearing and ridiculing Bush, I guess it's a tough habit to break.
The poem . . . boring and awful. Did anyone know what she was talking about? I must have gone to the restroom--don't remember hearing it.
When did Stevie Wonder get so heavy? Didn't see him.
Will the press investigate the cost of Michelle's clothing?
