    Great idea on the short approach. It works very well.

    Faux News has been one of the main sources that called Michelle O "an angry woman". I do not see anger in her at all. She is a passionate, intelligent, strong, woman, and will be a great asset to the future President.
    Of course the rethuglicans will be insecure having Michelle campaigning for Barack. Look at their first ladies vs. the Democrat's. They have had Babs and her beautiful mind, Laura, good natured but weak, and now Cindy, rich but colorless. The Democrats have had Hillary, Tipper, Theresa, and now Michelle, all strong women, with plenty to say.

    short is good!

    Karl Rove attacked Michelle and her speech. That means she's on it!

    For two centuries, the dominant white culture has only been able to categorize black women according to one of two stock figures: either Mammy or Sapphire. That Michelle is neither confounds the right-wing noise machine and much of the corporate media.

    With the exception of Michelle's bad habit of saying "see" her speech last night was incredible. She is confident, warm, humble, and articulate. And the fact that she is striking does not hurt.

    I like the short. BlueMassGroup's doing something similar, lots of short you-tube vids of local pols (like Lt Gov. Murray) they meet and other interviews, as well as a recording their long walk to the lonely Free Speech Zone far, far away.

    I have the attention span of a gnat so it works for me!
