Michelle Obama: The American Dream Speech

by: Julia Rosen

Mon Aug 25, 2008 at 20:01:27 PM PDT


The theme of Michelle's speech has to be the American Dream.

"My dad was our rock."

She said he woke up a little earlier and worked a little harder when talking about her father using two canes to move across the room to give her mom a kiss.

"Their dream endures."

"Even though he had this funny name...his family was so much like mine." Struggling working class, so that their kids could have things they never could.

"America should be a place where you can make it if you try."

"My piece of the American dream is a piece of the hard won victories of those before me."

Loud cheer for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.  "People who have never forgot where they came for and who they are fighting for."

Signs for her speech: "Common Values.  Common Purpose."

"This time we listened to our hopes and not our fears."

After the speech Barack joined them live on the big screen.  Sasha and Malia stole the freaking so.  Totally adorable.  That clip is going to be everywhere.  Especially when she was jumping up and down wanting the mike back to tell Barack that she loved him.  Adorable!

Still having issues with the pictures.  Sorry guys.  I'm out of here.  Day one down.  Three to go.  This was an incredible night, one I will never forget.  I am so honored and proud to be here at this historic event.
