In the<\/font> half a century that I’ve paid attention to politics, most of the time to a far greater degree than most Americans, I’ve heard a lot of First Ladies speak on a lot of different subjects.  I have never before heard a First Lady come close to Michele Obama’s speech yesterday in either eloquence or power.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1014MichelleObama\"<\/p>\n

Michelle Obama\u2019s speech today<\/a> may have just changed the fate of this election. At least, it should.<\/p>\n

Her words need to be heard by anyone with a beating heart because election has gone far past a joke, or a heated political campaign. This election has caused a rift within our society that is resonating internationally. <\/p>\n

But like the super-woman she is, Michelle Obama delivered a speech that will go down in history as an iconic FLOTUS moment. During a Clinton campaign stop in New Hampshire, she deliver her rousing speech about what\u2019s at stake this election with the sincerity and impact we all needed today. Especially in the wake of Trump\u2019s recent meltdown<\/a> and blatant admittance to sexual assault.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact is that, in this election, we have a candidate for president of the United States who over the course of his lifetime, and the course of this campaign, has said things about women that are so shocking, so demeaning that I simply will not repeat anything here today. And last week, we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women. I can\u2019t believe that I\u2019m saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women<\/strong>. And I have to tell you that I can\u2019t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn\u2019t have predicted.\u201d [emphasis original<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
