Actually, I don’t fault Michelle for not telling the world she loves her mother. I think there’s far too much of such obligatory, but essentially meaningless, “I love [fill in the blank with family member’s name]” declarations. You don’t see such declarations in politicians’ speeches in any other country, to my knowledge.
I’d much rather see detailed policy prescriptions from candidates than meaningless pap like “I love Mom.”
Of course, Michelle Obama isn’t a candidate, which makes her presence last night as the main speech-giver quite curious.
To me, this was supposed to be a personalizing speech, and those six words would have shown something.
After all her Mom took the time to lend her voice to the intro of her.
From a political perspective Yes, I agree, no real substance offered
