“Michelle Obama made me proud to be a parent and a spouse and a black man” -@TajClayton at #DNC2012
The world will and has written about Michelle Obama’s DNC speech (including our own Cheryl). I was there. It was that good. Here are a few snapshots via Twitter, photos and video of the night that blew me away

I was speechless during most of the First Lady’s speech but emerged from my reverie when she beautifully wove Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Civil Rights into marriage equality. It was a beautiful progressive moment. Healing even.
love how #dnc2012 speakers integrate marriage equality into their talks, and #FLOTUS just did it masterfully, connecting to civil rights

As I walked away from the arena, I was snapped out of the first lady’s spell, by a loud and profane passerby:
OH outside #DNC2012 arena: “where the FUCK is the Burger King!?” -woman who clearly doesn’t get the whole Michelle Obama thing
