They brought out the most popular political figure
Michelle Obama is one of the most popular, and according to recent polls, certainly the most popular political figure in America. Interestingly, she has no political identity other than being the wife of a former president and the First Lady of America, which is not considered an official political position. Beyond that, she has always disliked politics.
Her disinterest in the not-so-clean political equations has always been part of her husband’s political profile. One of Barack Obama’s usual jokes, mixed with seriousness, was that Michelle dreamed of the end of his presidency and leaving the White House. Michelle Obama is set to deliver a special speech at this year’s Democratic convention in Chicago, and the timing and scheduling of the event highlight her priority and importance.
The enthusiasm of Democratic Party supporters and beyond, particularly young people, for the news of Michelle Obama’s speech has been quite remarkable. The former first couple of America, in their hometown of Chicago, are practically considered the main hosts of the convention.
