My favorite comments from Twitter:

“I think we need to stop comparing Michelle Obama’s speech to First Lady speeches and start comparing it to Presidential ones. That strong. ” @moorehn

“I wish everybody would stop saying this is the best First Lady speech ever. It’s one of the best speeches of decade, easy.” @sullydish.

“At #RNC, line that got biggest applause was joke about climate change, at #DNC2012, biggest cheer was defense of women’s rights as values.” ‏@Ziggy_Daddy

“Outstandingly profound was First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech. Uplifting and empowering. America the Beautiful. Xox ” @PamGrier

“If u ever questioned @BarackObama‘s brilliance just look at who he chose to be his wife. LOVE a man that is strong enough 2 marry a beast!” @AubreyODay

“I’ve never heard such a well delivered speech by a first lady ever.” ‏@andersoncooper
