Raves For First Lady’s DNC Speech [VIDEO]

From the Chicago Tribune:



Three sentences. That’s all it took for First Lady Michelle Obama to eviscerate the central theme of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. “Don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great,” Obama said on the first night of the Democratic National Convention. “That somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on Earth.”

This was the wife of America’s first black president sharing the wonder of seeing her daughters, “two beautiful, intelligent black young women,” playing on the White House lawn. This was a strong, successful woman celebrating, with a parent’s emotion, how her kids, as Hillary Clinton receives the Democratic nomination, will “now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.”

Trump has only one direction: low. And he’s going low when he promises to make America great again. Michelle Obama showed us that Monday night. This was a speech that revealed a truth Americans need to acknowledge. Make America Great Again is a pithy political slogan. And it’s an affront to anyone whose America is greater now than it ever has been.
