Michelle Obama might have been the warm-up for her husband, but she stole the show at the United Center in Chicago as shared an electrifying message of the 'contagious power of hope!'.
There was an electric atmosphere inside the Chicago convention centre for Obama. Not Barack, but Michelle. She was the warm-up for her husband but as she proved at the 2016 Democratic Convention with her famous 'when they go low, we go high' speech, she is the real orator, not him. The crowd of 20,000 hung on every one of word of her words. It was a speech of hope, of what could be under a president Kamala Harris. Not the darkness, the 'smallness' as she sees it of Donald Trump.
'I don't know about you, but I'm feeling fired up,' Mr Obama told the crowd in his hometown. 'I am feeling ready to go, even if I am the only person stupid enough to speak after Michelle Obama.' For the crowd it was all a reflection of what has been. Some certainly wishing America didn't have term limits. A jolt of deja-vu ran through the place. There was a salute to President Biden and his 'decency'.
