Our analysts tonight will be Amy Z. Quinn, recently converted Obama supporter/longtime Hillarycrat dead-ender, and Jonathan Valania, who was right about Obama, and most other things, all along. Please standby…
10:41 PM JV: ok here we go
good stuff, family bio
10:42 PM hardscrabble life, humble beginnings, pulling up bootstraps
translation: we are normal
and Barack is just like us
JV: we grew up like Hillary
Amy: Her version of it taking a Village
JV: but we still love Barack, and so can you
Amy: Or, if you prefer, a Hundred and Ten Percenter http://www.mcclatchydc.com/
10:45 PM “my piece of the american dream is a blessing hard won by those who came before me”
Aaaaaaaaamen
10:46 PM JV: Cindy McCain ain’t gonna top this
Martin Luther King
hmm
didn’t McCain vote AGAINST a holiday for him?
and now he’s stranded on the wrong side of history
10:47 PM Amy: “That is why I love this country” might be the one line she HAD to deliver
10:48 PM Michelle Obama as heiress, but not the Cindy McCain kind. She inherits opportunity, not money. I like it.
10:49 PM JV: just got the stream up
I dunno about that color on her
very Santa Fe
Amy: no, she looks beautiful
JV: lesbian
I knew it
all makes sense
voted for Hillary
now this
10:50 PM Amy: So Michelle Obama has clearly been close to tears at a couple of points in this speech
SURE it’s OK for her but not Hillary!
haters!
OK, i’m done
JV: Hillary isn’t angry
Michelle is
that’s why it’s OK for her to cry
10:51 PM Amy: I thought it was OK to cry because Rosie Greer said so
10:52 PM JV: look Obama isn’t allowed to cry
you don’t hear him whining about it
on my IM
do you?
no
Michelle in 2016!
Amy: Oh hell if she keeps talking about him driving the bebehs home from the hospital I’M gonna cry
10:53 PM JV: Me too, don’t you tell anyone
Amy: VERY well done speech
10:54 PM JV: here here
author, author
yes
say it
yes
say it
Amy: Awwww, Sasha
10:55 PM Sadly, still not as cute as my kid
Wait, did I say that out loud?
10:56 PM Woah, Obama on big video screen like Oz
JV: i’m back
verdict: home run
10:57 PM
JV: OMG is that who I think it is?
I LOVE Obama
haha
good one, Obama
10:58 PM Amy: Sasha Obama is the new Olivia Nutter
Amy: I’m lining her up to go to the prom with Jack 10 years from now
10:59 PM
JV: Awwwww
I love you daddy
whole spectacle rates very high on the emotional IQ scale, mission accomplished
one inspiring story I heard on Fresh Air today
Amy: Struck exactly the right tones
11:00 PM JV: from the guy who wrote the story in the New Yorker about the Dem strategy to win the west
Back in 2000, Obama was at his lowest
lost his first bid for the Senate in a blowout
was broke, in debt
wife mad at him
never wanted him to run in the first place
was gonna get out of politics
and a friend persuaded him to go out to the
11:01 PM Dem convention in LA
and network, so he does
books a cheap flight on Southwest
goes to the convention and gets TURNED AWAY
can’t get in, can’t even get credentials
then, he tries to rent a car
and his credit card is declined
eight years later he is a heartbeat away from the Presidency
11:02 PM aint’ THAT America?
Amy: Thank you, John Camp Cougarmellon
JV: Goodnight, America!
