The Obama couple's ‥ 'Speech Genius' in Chicago is enthusiastic about the aftermath

the Democratic National Convention of the United States
Michelle Obama speaks at the convention

[Michelle Obama/Former First Lady of the United States]
"Kamala Harris and I built our lives on the same basic values.
Our mothers grew up across the ocean, but they had the same faith in the promises of this country.
Kamala Harris worked hard to become the vice president of the United States. Kamala Harris is fully prepared for this moment. She is one of the most qualified people to dream of becoming president.
I want to know. Who will tell Donald Trump? Who can tell him that the job he's looking for now might just be one of the black jobs?"



[Barack Obama/Former U.S. President]
"Hello Chicago! I feel hopeful, because our national convention was very good for kids who believed in a country that could do anything.
Because we have the opportunity to elect a man who has spent his whole life trying to give others the same opportunity that the United States has given her.
Someone who sees you, listens to you, gets up every day and fights for you. The next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.

History will remember Joe Biden as a great president who defended democracy at a moment of great danger.
I am proud to call him 'my president.' But I am even more proud to call him 'my friend.'
Now, the torch has been delivered. We have to fight for the America we all believe in.


There's a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn't stopped whining about his problems since coming down a golden escalator nine years ago.
Now, afraid of losing to Camilla, it's just a series of complaints and resentments.
It makes childish excuses. It's a crazy conspiracy theory, it's weirdly obsessed with the size of the crowd.

We should not be the police of the world, and we cannot eradicate all the brutality and injustice of the world.
But the United States can and should be a force for good.
Contain conflicts, fight diseases, promote human rights, protect the planet from climate change, defend freedom, and mediate peace.
That's what Camilla Harris believes and so is most Americans.

If we work in a way we never had before and we stand firm on our beliefs, we will elect Camilla Harris as the next president of the United States and Tim Walz as vice president.
We will elect leaders who will fight for a hopeful, future-oriented America, and together we will build a safer, fairer, equal, and freer country.
Let's get to work now. May God bless you and bless America."
