Best line in her speech...

""The essence of America – that which really unites us — is not ethnicity, or nationality or religion – it is an idea — and what an idea it is: That you can come from humble circumstances and do great things. That it doesn’t matter where you came from but where you are going."

She nailed it. That is us. That's who we are, who I hope we will always be.

I cannot fathom that our current First Lady was never proud of that idea, until that idea culminated in her husband's nomination for his current position.
