Lots of political gossip today. Also, lots of cranky posts from readers. Mercury is in Virgo for the next month. What does   that mean? It’s important to be articulate about your thoughts and feelings at this time. It’s a time of heightened sensitivity and others can seem hyper-critical.

Over the next month, I expect America to scrutinize our candidates obsessively. I expect a “lovefest” for Obama in the last week of October and the first week of November.  Where does Michelle fit in as our next first lady?

MICHELLE Obama prides herself on being a passionate woman. Passionate about her family, politics,her career, and the man she loves. She took center stage this week at the Democratic convention and gave an inspirational speech about her husband’s families story. Also, why she personally felt Barack Obama should be the next president.

Oprah Winfrey was at the convention, Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, and word is that Bruce Springsteen will perform for Senator Obama’s acceptance speech to an audience of 75,000. DAMN!

According to NPR:

Michelle Obama painted her husband as a caring family man who can bring hope to a country in need Monday night. Her speech was fearless, Slate.com’s XX Factor bloggers Dahlia Lithwick and Melinda Henneburger tell Alex Chadwick. She even let her daughter have an open mic.

Michelle said that she and Barack believed “that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, and you do what you say you’re going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.”

I totally agree! I hope America gets it right and votes for Obama! Team Obama all the way.
