Michelle Obama's given rock-star style performances in her campaign-trail appearances on behalf of her husband. Darleen Click has some in-depth analysis of M.O.'s modus operandi in her deliverance style...the nuance of stage performances as sleight of hand; as Darleen points out...

"Effective public speaking is a talent. Whether one is a pitchman for the latest multi-level marketing scheme or a standup comedian, reaching out and connecting with largely anonymous audiences and keeping them awake is a skill that is innate. One can learn certain skills, one can improve on delivery and technique, but the true showman revels on the stage. We’ve already seen the fine oratory skills of Barack; the soaring rhetoric and the emotion he evokes from his audiences. Read the same speeches and one is struck by vapidness, such is his skill in delivery.

Michelle is another formidable speaker."

With the same vapidity as her husband, but that's what the moonbats want to hear. But that’s what the moonbats want to hear. Feedback for their already-formed half-thoughts about ‘righting the wrongs’ of this country. And the continual trickle-stimulus to that congenital part of their brains that house their BDS. They live for that tickle!

On substance...the text of Mrs. Obama's speech can be found at Captain's Quarters. Ed Morrissey has analysis. This snippet...

"But it's the notion that only Barack Obama can save our souls that is the most offensive part of the speech, by far. Government doesn't exist to save souls; it exists to ensure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense. If I feel my soul needs saving, the very last place I'd look (in the US) for a savior would be Washington DC or Capitol Hill. I'll trust God and Jesus Christ with my soul, and I'm not going to mistake Barack Obama for either one.

"This, though, is the religion of statism distilled to its essence. Only a government can rescue people from the consequences of their own decisions. Only government programs can provide for your every need, and only government can use your money wisely enough to ensure that your needs get covered. Individuals cannot possibly manage to help their neighbors through their churches or community organizations, let alone encourage people to do for themselves."

I'm surprised that Mrs. Baracky would speak on souls; given the Democrat's overwhelming desire for atheism and secularism in American policies.

Save their souls, indeed.
