I've always believed that there's a double standard when it comes to Neoconservative politics. Obviously any network or employee of Rupert Murdoch's needs to take the Neocon line but what about the Sheep that follow media moguls?

We've read lots of complaints about Michelle's speech but they were all without substance and more then predictable.

When comparing her speech to say Barbara Bush's speeches, how does it compare and why?

Before I pull the text. I think there were two. Are you referring to 1988 or 1992?

Never mind I got my answer.

Eleanor Roosevelt was the first to speak at a convention. It was awful. Not the speech but what she was trying to do. No one spoke again until 1992.

I remember Barbara Bush's speech which was good. It was good because Barbara Bush believed what she was saying and that was conveyed in the delivery. The content of the speech was family and if I recall correctly at the end of the speech all the grandchildren (even 'the little dark one') joined her on stage.

I prefer Laura Bush's speech at the 2004 convention as opposed to the one from 2000. The 2000 speech felt unreal.

Michelle Obama's speech was very real and that is why it was so good.

I'm wondering where the haters of Michelle's speech are what they're comparing it too.
