MICHELLE OBAMA IS EMOTIONAL THINKING ABOUT HER BLACK DAUGHTERS AND THEIR BLACK AND BROWN DOGS IN THEIR WHITE HOUSE BUILT BY SLAVES.

BTW Michelle Obama's speech was magnificent. She spoke as a mother, a wife, a black woman and a citizen, and she crushed it.

Even President Obama felt the need to express the enthusiasm he felt over his wife’s bold speech.

Incredible speech by an incredible woman. Couldn't be more proud & our country has been blessed to have her as FLOTUS. I love you, Michelle.
