I'm gonna just have to admit to being a sucker.
Cuz Barack Obama's speech is making me cry.
*Can I just publicly thank Barack Obama for public loyalty and devotion to a dark-skinned African American woman? It's not something seen often.
And can I thank Michelle Obama for unswerving demonstrated intelligence, grace, poise, etc., in the face of rabid media attacks? Shit when she talks, I BELIEVE her. Barack is truly lucky for her because she lends credence to his campaign in a very serious way.
Though Obama's foreign policy ideas are still deeply problematic to me...honestly if I vote for him, it won't be because I'll expect America to fall back on it's empire building agenda under his compassionate leadership, but it will be because I think the image of his family in the White house will do TONS to elevate the collective self-esteem of little Black kids and grown-ups in this country.
That means alot to me.
