I somehow had tears in my eyes although I'm not an American :')

[@JasonMittell9]

i know right??

[@Fannii94]

Her speech was soooo awesome and emotional I love her and her husband :DD

[@AMotivatedYou]

This speech inspires me so much! I'm so happy for the re-elections!!!

[@juskym]

God, what an amazing woman! She and Barack are two of the most inspirational speakers I've ever heard. Can you imagine what their girls will be like someday? Love this family!

[@danielkaya3608]

I have finally watched this speech that I missed more a decade ago, I vividly remember that morning as we drove to work and listenng to this great emotional speech on BBC right there on the car radio.

[@Qlydzdale]

An amazing speech! I'm ready to vote for Michelle Obama for president whenever she is ready.

[@minty121991]

I mean what can I say? there're some leaders whose kindness shines through, and when you listen to them talk, you know it's from their heart and not from their brain. total respect for her.

[@danoodle72fly]

I'm not American, but went through high school and college in th US. From a foreigner stand point I can promise you that Obama returned a , too long forgotten, good image of the USA to the whole world.That image that all Americans deserve to have when in front of the world.

[@robertcummings2099]

Just remarkable.

[@patricknamangoa6468]

I really love the way she finishes her overwhelming speech! Absolutely unforgettable!

[@FlintboyG]

I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but I have to say she knocked this one out of the park. Compare her eloquence with anyone's in politics and she is among the very best.

[@MsKETAM]

makes me tear up every time I watch:) great speech

[@suzannespence1859]

This speech will go down in history. Thank you First Lady Michelle!

[@Rhymeswithreasonbunbuichi]

You've given me hope that America actually see's this! Thankyou!

[@SonnySulouff]

Michelle is amazing, and she is so smart, eloquent, sincere, and real. She killed it. Love you, Mrs. Obama!

[@tweetytthuy]

"FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!"

[@1718Tan]

I am also not an american but I cried. I wish we can have leader like her and her husband in my country. I am very happy for you michelle obama.... Congratulation on your win.

[@TheMcNealio]

No matter what her husband has or hasn't done, no matter what a person thinks of Barack Obama, what Barack Obama has done, what Barack Obama wants to do, or what Barack Obama believes, no matter if you disagree with what she says; no one can say that Michelle didn't eloquently, beautifully express what she wanted to say.

[@arianaadams22]

This is such a beautiful speech. Michelle is so classy and real!

[@respondtwome]

Couldn't agree more. I can't believe she said it with a straight face.

[@mishehu78]

amazing speach! Good luck Obama! Greetings from Berlin

[@mlamar14]

I CRIED

[@teebaby7608]

such a beautiful lady we were graced with in a first lady!!

[@SOFiSTiK8D13]

I have never felt the power and truth of the saying 'Proud to be an American' until Barack and Michelle Obama came in to my world.

[@ThomasLuo]

OH YEAH ~~

[@TheMikejonez]

My hubs just got diagnosed with MS... I feel so much better listening to her... God it makes me feel better.

[@user-bp1qd3xw1v]

This is the speech that made Obama president for second term.

[@madmaxonliner]

She's amazing...

[@BlackManRising]

Four more years of this lovely First Lady! Yeeesss! :)

[@sophiepl106]

I CRIED so so much!!! And I am german which isn't from big importance but I just wanna show how happy all of us are :) Bless America ♥

[@juliusq75]

I haven't heard Michelle Obama speak much, but she is an impressive speaker. She conveys very well what her husband stands for, and what his vision is. She is clearly real, so intelligent and well spoken but not overly formal or cold. Just judging on their choice of a wife alone, Obama hands down. She is very much a Diana in her ability to connect, the people's First Lady. More inner strength shines through than Diana had, but so personable and relatable.

[@nolanscavella6573]

As a citizen of a free democratic country I have never been so moved by a speech of the highest sincerity and positive fulfillment . God bless America Amen.

[@neetrab]

Glad she's an inspiration for you.

[@avilae]

I think when Michelle said "These issues aren't political, they're personal," I think she meant "they're political BECAUSE they're personal". These are inseparable realms in lives of as much integrity as can possibly be cultivated in this world.

[@luvbig41]

Michelle Obama look at your toned and beautiful skin. Great speech!!!!!!

[@mollyrexy]

Did anyone else cry while watching this?

[@fredimeier7742]

No first lady before was able to hold a candle to do so. Bravo Michelle Obama!

[@lollah1986]

She is amazing!!! Barack is very lucky!

[@MzSilele]

there are a lot of haters on this page, obama is president get over it n stop complaining abt wat should have happen...geez..

[@davidw3360]

completely agree

[@papierflora]

Touched. Inspiring.

[@newasansol]

thank you

[@InnLux]

wauw... one of the best speeches I have ever heard... Well Done, Michelle..

[@riverwindbonsai]

But Reagan didn't reduce the growth in government spending. He massively increased government spending, in both real dollar terms and as a portion of the total national debt. He didn't increase spending as a % of GDP, but if you're looking at that metric, neither has Obama.

[@coolcatsoth]

Speak for yourself. I am LDS (Mormon) and you should be ashamed of yourself as a Mormon to make such comments. Michelle Obama is a class act whether democrat or republican.

[@ratnakarpandey3960]

Great inspiring one speech..........

[@CamiloSanchez1979]

Moving and inspiring, a staple of a new America.

[@LavenderQueenLiz]

Share the opportunity...that is right and well put together!

[@debrajonesis]

Wow. What a powerful speech! I don't understand why people who lost their jobs over the past 4 years blame Obama. And, I and my husband are some of the people who lost our jobs. I even had to close my 25 yr old company that did work nation-wide and had to file bankruptcy because I had personally guaranteed the $3 million+ debt to the bank. I lost all my money & investments that I had saved over the 30 yrs of working very hard. And I'm an accountant as well. I had to let my employees go knowi

[@NanZodiac]

TRULY INSPIRING & UPLIFTING SPEECH!!!

[@williamhyliau]

so power full speech I never meet before...YES U MUST SEE.

[@state363]

I hope at the end of the day, true dignity and respect shall be given back to all the people not only in america but all the people of the world. Martin L. King said "charity is not just flipping a coin to the beggars and the poor, true charity is about removing the strictures and systems that created them in the first place. One cannot gain true greatness and happinesd at the expense of others. Great speech from the first lady. I pray and hope that actions, real actions will be followed.

[@24romac1965]

I love you Michelle and Mr President, Here we come 2012 !!!!!

[@Secz12341]
