I know I have lived in America for almost five years now and so I should be used to all of the schmaltz and ceremony of a presidential election, but do people really believe this guff? The excerpts I saw of Michelle Obama’s speech last night were more like the outtakes from a second rate Cameron Crowe movie than anything resembling real politics. So why is everyone so excited about it?
Much more interesting to follow the ongoing on air spat between MSNBC’s three political anchors here and here, courtesy of Gawker.
why is everyone so excited about? because that’s what a convention is about. because the last two times at a convention no one felt what people are feeling about Obama and the hope and change that he talks about. People want to believe in it.
