1. The Obamas were wonderful!

They were inspiring and humble, optimistic and enthusiastic, motivating and energizing... we'll have to wait until Chris Hayes checks-in to see if he thought either one had a "Titanic Ego".

2. I absolutely loved them both, too! Rachel Maddow liked Michelle's speech the best, but I can't decide

It was just so great to see and hear them both again - and their speeches couldn't possibly have been more inspiring!

3. Michelle had more fire this time! Less conciliatory and ready to bring the fire ...

... and ALL WITH A SMILE, and a wink, and a smirk. No olive branches and no encouragement to be on our best behavior and to defeat our enemy with kindness! --- Her humor and determination WON THE DAY for me!!

4. I know exactly what you mean - I watched her twice, had to catch the repeat

There were a lot of great speeches so far, but I agree that Michelle Obama won the day, she was positively inspiring, a remarkable speaker, with humor!
