FLOTUS on #HC09 (Updated)

Michelle Obama has always been called Barack's secret weapon. Today, again, she shows us why.

She spoke to leaders of women's groups this morning to give a "soft pitch" on health care.

Soft it wasn't.

It was moving and beautiful and honest, strong and very clear. Because of those things, it sliced through the noisy rhetoric and undoubtedly hit home for many people. I hope it gets a lot of circulation, because she makes the arguments in a way that just can't be shouted down, or even protested with any credibility.

I missed the ladies she referenced at the beginning - the ones who told their stories. But if I find a link with them, I'll update this post.

Updated. Here's a link to the whole event. It's 49 minutes.
