The Power of the Obamas
Michelle and Barack Obama's appearances at the Democratic National Convention were positioned to energize the party base and highlight their oratory skills. Michelle, in particular, was seen as the standout speaker, drawing on her personal narrative to connect with the audience while promoting themes of hope and unity.
