Charm Offensive at the DNC: Michelle Obama to Speak on Opening Night


Thankfully I'm usually asleep by that time of night so I won't have the suffer the possibility of seeing this angry woman on my television.
Admirers (and detractors) of Barack Obama have frequently described him as a rock star. Now Michelle Obama, his wife, is officially a headliner, too.

That's the word from the organizers of the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month. They've just sent a news release announcing that she'll be the "headline prime-time speaker" on Monday, Aug. 25 -- the opening night of the Democrats' quadrennial funfest that will formally nominate her husband as the party's candidate for president of the United States.
