i thought she did amazingly well, and i am looking forward to having her be first lady. she strikes me as so smart, honest, and fiercely strong. and she loves her brother. here, in my expert political analysis, are the only things that bugged me:
* she's a "patter," not a real hugger. or maybe that's how you're supposed to hug somebody on a stage at a political convention, but i wanted her to give her brother a better hug after he did that nice intro for her.
*she started too many sentences with, "see..." or "you see,..."
*her very very slightly asymmetrical neckline kind of drove me crazy. it would make me itch to wear it. the color was only okay.
*i hate that she had to emphasize how much she loves this country, and say "god bless america." oh well.
but that's it as far as complaints. their kids are going right on my cute list -- it was adorable when sasha said, "what city are you in, daddy?" they seem like real kids. i hope life in the white house doesn't ruin their lovely childhoods. cause i am feeling optimistic about this president obama thing.

OK, here's the take on her speech from 101 Austin: we thought her brother was a great speaker (didn't notice inadequate hug); Peter thought her shoulders look like the Olympic swimmers'; we were struck that she never said "um" or anything like that; wished the kids had said something other than she "did good", but thought they were darling. Also very excited about an Obama presidency even though we initially favored Hillary....
