Without a doubt‚ The First Lady‚ Michelle Obama‚ stupendously gave her speech on September 4th at the Democratic National Convention. Moving the hearts of the audience‚ she brilliantly portrayed how Barack Obama “values everyone’s contribution and treats everyone with respect.” Michelle started off by illustrating how she’d seen “the very best of American spirit.” One notable example she provided was about a young man who was blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan and saying how he’d give his eyes for

This emotional blackmail is evident is all pieces of his work and of his government. Context: It was written as accurate manuscripts of speeches given by W.M Hughes. Since Hughes was for conscription there was bias towards conscription.
