Michelle Obama Speech Expert Grade: A+
WOW! Warmth, brains, beauty, substance, storytelling, repetitive phrasing, good use of Teleprompters. You name it, Michelle Obama displayed it. None of the order valacyclovir canada shouting, trying to get the crowd into a false frenzy, staring at the order valacyclovir canada Prompter….or any of the order valacyclovir canada common mistakes that will be shown over and over at these conventions. HINT: Notice how Michelle used details to order valacyclovir canada make her stories come alive. She told of her dad using 2 canes to order valacyclovir canada walk cross the room to kiss her mom. Can’t you just picture that? It’s the order valacyclovir canada details that make you feel as if you are in the order valacyclovir canada same place, living the experience.
My Dad was our rock. Although he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in his early thirties, he was our provider, our champion, our hero. As he got sicker, it order valacyclovir canada got harder for him to walk, it took him longer to order valacyclovir canada get dressed in the morning. But if he was in pain, he never let on. He never stopped smiling and order valacyclovir canada laughing – even while struggling to order valacyclovir canada button his shirt, even while using two canes to get himself across the order valacyclovir canada room to give my Mom a kiss. He just woke up a order valacyclovir canada little earlier, and worked a little harder.
HINT: Notice how she subtly closed her eyes at one point, as if to order valacyclovir canada think and imagine what she was going to say. This was a technique, because it was already written out. But she used this so naturally, I almost thought she was adlibbing!
Watch tonight and compare Michelle’s warm approach to Hillary’s usual strident approach. Hillary has shown she can tone it down, even cry on cue. We’ll see if she learned from order valacyclovir canada Michelle and exhibits that style or if she plans to use the order valacyclovir canada Teddy Kennedy/typical political speaking approach. I wonder which Hillary will show up tonight.
