For
those of you who couldn't stomach watching Michelle Obama Tuesday
night, you missed quite a performance. She has become a pro at public
speaking. She reads the teleprompter as smoothly as her husband, with
emotion added in all the right places. It went over just fine in the
hall, with Democrats mooning over her with the same creepy rapture we
saw in Obama's mass appearances in 2008. They cried when she called
herself Mom-in-Chief. Enough said.
What
was most interesting was that her speech had obviously been reworked
rapidly in the last week. It was a weird, copycat complement to
Republicans. It's like an unsure competitor looking to see what the
champion is doing, and quickly trying to mimic it. "Oh, you talked a
lot about the American Dream and that resonated with the public -- watch
me, I can do it, too." She even cribbed lines and phrases from the
Romneys. The trouble is that the pretend principles did not match who
the Obamas actually are. It was the perfect ersatz speech from the wife
of our Faker in Chief.
