First Lady hit out the park tonight. I honestly don't think Bill Clinton or the president himself will do any better. She set the bar really high.

Great first night. Real people, real stories.

Funny those real stories talked about their hard work and their grandparents hard work not about what the gov. did to help them. Its not until they started talking about the American people they talked about us needing the goverment to do what they did on their own. Castro was the best example of this and talking about his grandmother working three jobs (he did not mention gov. help). He said her hard work made it possible for them to get where he was today.

Good speeches no substance.

So then we both agree, government can't do everything for people. No argument there.
