Michelle Obama signed sealed and delivered her well anticipated speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.  She reintroduced herself and her family to the American public with great eloquence. 

Over the past months we have seen her caricatured and her gaffs put on loops on the cable news channels.  But on Monday, she was articulate and humble in delivering her story and that of her family. 

I am still dumbfounded at the insanity that labels the Obama's as elite.  Yes, the Obama's went to great schools and received a good education.  But it was not because of legacy or family money.  They had scholarships, took out student loans and worked part-time jobs.  Their families sacrificed to give them a better future.

 And so the 2008 Olympics have come to an end.  I must admit I am exhausted from waking up early and staying up late to watch the coverage of the games. 

Of course the obvious highlights, for me anyway, were soccer, swimming and track and field.  Phelps is part amphibian, Bolt is appropriately named and watching Brazil during a soccer match is like watching a well choreographed dance.

The events over the pass few days have been phenomenal. It has moved many in many different ways. Jamaica’s own ‘Bumpy Head Gal’ - Joan Andrea Hutchinson was so moved she wrote this poem.
