Do We Love It?: Michelle O.'s Democratic National Convention Look & Speech

Michelle Obama gave her headlining and historic speech at last night's Democratic National Convention to show the personal side of her hubby Barack. And she rocked this turquoise blue ’50s-inspired dress designed by Maria Pinto--a friend and designer based in her hometown of Chicago. (The same designer who did her now famous purple sheath dress we all loved.) So...  

DO WE LOVE IT?

  More pics of her, the kids, and full video of her speech when you read the rest...   Here's more pics of Mrs. O and the cuteness that is Malia and Sasha Obama: The Senator made a point to tell his wife she looked "cute" when he spoke to her via satellite after her speech for the whole world to hear.   And in case you missed her fabulous speech last night, check it below:

Michelle's speech was so

Michelle's speech was so moving, so eloquent. Her class and character are truly the essence of what our first lady elect should be! The girls were looking too adorable last night. And Miss Malia had me laughing when she was talking to her dad. Love the Obamas!

I asked a co-worker of mine did she see the speech last night and her first words were, yeah, she looked great. My response was she always looks great, but did you hear what she said? She shrugged and said I listened to some of it and walked away. How shallow a people are we when fashion (it is important) is MORE important that what's on one's mind?...lol. She did look fantastic as she always does, but her speech was right on point. Sadly though, if you read the responses to her speech on CNN.com, people have said some very negative things, and you can just about guess who they were. No matter what, to them, the Obama's will never be good enough. Her brother is gorgeous!

I don't understand why white america pretend not to relate. Maybe the family looks to wholesome for them. Because I can definately relate to their family and not just with the Cosby Show. There are alot of beautiful black families out there. My family for one. lol We get compliments all the time when my husband, klds, and I are together. It is hard for me to believe that it is that uncommon in the African American community.

Like Whoopi said when Michelle was on the View 'thank you Michelle for being an articulate black woman - all we see on TV are black women with no teeth or with gold teeth and cant speak properly'. It gets perpetuated here as well. Michelle inspired me so much I just want to be a better person everyday and reach for those stars while making sure that I do not climb over people to get to the top because I might need them on my way down. Truly an inspirational family

Mrs. Obama represented her

Mrs. Obama represented her husband well last night and it was very evident that she had nothing but love for her husband and family. Its a shame that the media tries very hard to find something wrong with this woman and all they could come up with is the way she dressed. Give me a break! That woman looked Young, Black and Fabulous and they can't stand it.
