First, Michelle Obama

Home Run, period.

The GOP has done a good job demonizing Barack Obama's wife. Yes, they have. But last night she shut that crap DOWN.

She spoke about how she grew up. Her father was the sole provider, who contracted multiple sclerosis in his early 30s. She spoke about a respect, admiration, love of her father and that he was the "hero" to her, against all his odds.

She spoke about following her brother to college, graduating against all odds from Princeton.

She spoke of her steadfast love of her husband, mother, brother, family and her daughters.

You can read the text here, and above view the video, but in the end you left knowing what the Obama Family is about, "American Apple Pie".

Her performance was stellar and in an unscripted moment when Barack came on live through video feed, it was the excitement of his daughters, Sasha and Melia, that took the show. Just looking at their faces and Melia going up to the screen, as if saying, "is that really Daddy?", just left everyone's heart warmed. It was the simple words, "Hi Daddy. We love you Daddy" from Sasha and Melia that really sealed the deal.

The Obamas are like any family in American. They love each other and it showed.

Home Run, Michelle, Home Run.

Ted Kennedy, the Lion Still Roars

What can anyone say when Ted Kennedy not only appeared on stage at the Democratic Convention, but took the podium and spoke?

This is a man who has seen, felt the highs and lows of life, but still moved on. His presence was electrifying last night. We needed that.

It started with Caroline Kennedy's introduction, then the wonderful film by Ken Burns looking at the man, life who is Ted Kennedy. Then the lion, older, slower graced the stage.

He spoke with eloquence, determination and addressed Democrats to get on board for Barack Obama. He focused on the past and linked it to the present to move us to the future.

I can't tell you how effective a man, Ted Kennedy is in the senate. Many of the things we enjoy, frequent, deal with on a daily basis was due to the much legislation crafted, pushed and eventually passed under the guidance of Ted Kennedy. He is a legend.

Ted Kennedy is in a fight for his life and with God's Touch, he will remain with us for many more years to come.

Last night, the LION ROARED.
