Get a second alright.
Michelle Obama's speech was well received by the mainstream media yes it wants a deliberate and emotion pretty strong there's -- that's.
We learned about gratitude and humility.

And it's not good value every -- contribution.
-- treat everyone with respect.
All right -- -- Fox News contributor Charles -- Obama the first -- -- what empty.
Listen -- this.
It's not quite a plausible story I'm sure.
In the arena it was a pleasant story I saw the tears but I'm afraid I didn't matzo is a great speech but I didn't your -- -- -- it.

You wrote the book.
Basically inside the White House and inside this matter.
Yeah what are -- so I think that her whole.
Theme last night was.
I loved Obama.
Back 23 years ago I love them in 2008.
I still love -- you should love him -- he hasn't changed he's the same guy.
So -- don't be disappointed in him because he hasn't changed at all he's gonna be the same Obama that you were so and.
Who's -- ethic about back -- to put it out that met boredom she was talking about the personality.
Yet of the president.
And countless people who told me on this program that he is in fact arrogant.
And somewhat cold and very aloof.
That's all very different picture from one who is caring and outgoing and sympathetic towards -- think.
Exactly the portrait that I.
Made in my book which is cold aloof.
Distant -- unavailable.
To even Democrats no -- Republicans.
In Washington this is the man who is not at all admired by the political class so you would agree with Charles Krauthammer.
A very interesting portrayal of that about picture but you don't believe -- -- okay this is not Barack Obama Barack Obama.
Is an introverted.
Guy who.
-- and actually actually -- -- impossible.
To deal with other people on an even.
-- and an even basis it's either his way or the highway he's he's the smartest guy in the room at every meeting.
When you don't agree with him he gives you what they call the -- there.
And so this is not the Obama that Michelle Obama portrayed -- Michelle Obama herself came across -- highly possible friendly charming.
All of those woods effect would apply to -- last night residential -- it's -- but is that the Michelle Obama that you could try new book.
That at all Michelle Obama is one tough cookie she is.
Biden is by the his her own husband's.
Words per person who wears the pants from the -- He is the guy who listens to his wife and listens to Valerie Jarrett and listens to a lot of other women.
Strong women that he's assembled around -- you think he is the president who I think is very influenced by.
These these strong women and I think Michelle is the strongest of all of them.
All right hold on 12 -- at most of you have negative that's you with the audience please you have negative comments most of you.
On Michelle Obama's speech there was some positive ones is a sampling from what you -- and posted on FaceBook.
-- says it proved to me that Barack Obama is a good guy a good father and completely wrong headed to be president.
Not to mention having a very supportive -- that's what Quan said.
Susan with a little more supportive she did a good job.
I think she said what she felt she needed to say I was glad that she didn't spend the entire time ripping the Republicans and this from delta.
Yes I watched and I think she was knowledgeable well spoken and sincere OK a cross section of opinion on our FaceBook page.
China and join us please on FaceBook -- force out.
Quick common pleas from dog you heard what -- had to say about Michelle Obama's deliberate a new sidewalks.
I would say the donors and -- I've spoken to -- Who are close to the present closed in four years ago are now almost to a man and woman estranged from him personally they say they're dealing with a different man.
And I would tell you having worked in close quarters with Bill Clinton Stewart.
What you see is what you get in private in public he is a warm and empathetic man -- to.
