Thanks for that Lynn Sweet post at blogs.suntimes.com The comments are as interesting as the blog. including Are you sure the speech and lunch lasted seven minutes? I'm missing something here. LYNN SWEET REPLY the lunch came first. then a seven minute speech Posted by: James \| June 22, 2008 12:45 PM and I work at the University of Chicago hospital where Michelle was vice president for community relations. I do not personally know her, but I have heard her speak several times at meetings and know about the policy proposals she developed. She was a really impressive speaker, who had a perfect grasp of the complex historical issues between the hospital and community, and she spoke beautifully in terms that made sense to everyone. My support for Sen. Obama was partially motivated by how impressed I have been by her. I think when feminists give her a chance, they will be very excited.

Michelle Obama climbed into her charter jet Friday and flew here from Chicago for lunch and a speech -- I clocked it at seven minutes -- before an influential women's group whose board includes key supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton. Obama's brief appearance before the National Partnership for Women & Families -- she turned around and flew right back home when she was done -- shows how Obama is shaping her role as a potential first lady and how the Obama campaign is working hard to build bridges to the women who supported Clinton over presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama. I had to nitpick but that's a lot of fuel for a 7 minute speech. We have an energy problem in this country.
