Exclusive advance text of Mrs Obama's speech: By Michelle Malkin • August 25, 2008 03:21 PM I have obtained an advance, annotated text of Michelle Obama’s convention speech tonight. As her water-carriers in the press have been reporting, the speech will introduce America to the “real” Michelle and Barack. *** Good evening, my fellow Barack Americans! I am Michelle Obama. (Pause for adulation. Frown at insufficient applause. Wait for more.) I am just an ordinary working mom from an ordinary town. A “civilian” innocent in the ways of politics. Just like you. (Well, except for my hard Left thesis-writing skills. And my hard-core Chicago family political ties. And my high-powered, $317,000-a-year affirmative action job. And my role in organizing the Woods Fund panel that Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Barack appeared on together.) Some have referred to me as Obama’s “bitter half.” But, really, truly, I am so grateful to be here tonight. (Well, except for all the burdensome sacrifices I have been forced to make throughout this campaign in pursuit of the White House and my victimization at the hands of those wife-beating racist Republicans.) I have made these inordinate sacrifices because Barack Obama is a real American, a Barack American, just like you. Except when he’s not like you. Because He is special. He is The One, my honey, my babies’ daddy, the soul-fixer we have all been waiting for. Let me repeat: I am just the simple, ordinary, civilian spouse of The One trying to juggle my daughters’ expensive piano and ballet lessons with Access Hollywood interviews and People magazine photo shoots. But I do know this: We are living in a historic moment, a moment that makes me prouder than any other moment I can recall in my adult lifetime as a citizen of this downright mean great country. And I know that you need to celebrate his specialness, uniqueness, and everything he represents. You need to. You must. (Translation: He’s black and if you don’t celebrate, you’re a bigot or a race traitor.) Barack cares. I care. As an ordinary civilian mom, I share your concerns about access to health care. And so does Barack. (As for that dump-the-sick policy at the University of Chicago which has enriched Barack’s countless campaign advisers, well, that is a distraction and a conversation that we don’t need to have because it doesn’t help my kids.) I’ve warned you before and I will warn you again: “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your division. That you come out of your isolation. That you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.” That is a threat you can believe in. Now, please join me in raising the Obama salute before I retreat back into my Cone of Protection from criticism for my public comments: michellemalkin.com

Reagan fired all of the air traffic controllers (when they went on strike)as his first order of business when he took over the presidency in 1980. He wanted to make an example of them. As a further note, I will tell you what I think is the biggest issue in this election: My single biggest fear regarding McCain is that he will get us into a nuclear war with Russia because his thinking is so unsophisticated. If we have a nuclear war with Russia everyone dies. I do not think McCain fully understands that. Russia just voted (overwhelmingly) to keep the two breakaway provinces in Georgia. McCain is sending his wife (who's role model is princess Diana!) to Georgia. Russia will engage in hegemony and how we react to that will be the whole ball game. We have to be smart!!
