Michelle Obama?s Convention Speech Was A Plea To Vote

Instead, Obama's pre-recorded speech Monday night painted a picture of a country in chaos under Trump, with a plea for Americans to vote in large numbers if they want to return the country to a semblance of normalcy.“If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can and they will if we don’t make a change in this election,” Obama said. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, we’ve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences.”A person watches former First Lady Michelle Obama speak during the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, in Los Angeles, on August 17.Her speech did not mention Joe Biden explicitly until it was about halfway through, then noting that while Biden is not perfect — “and he’d be the first to tell you that” — no candidate or president is, and that Biden’s strength is in his “humility.”“We have to vote for Joe Biden in numbers that cannot be ignored,” she said.
