She is truly a remarkable women, one that is courageous and supportive to not only her husban but to humanity.In essence, she is an inspiration to women of all races. She shows a lot of genuine compasssion for children. Lastly,her delivery of speech was one with victory in mind. She never criticized anyone, instead; she embarked on global change.

Instead of the idea that we are "entitled" or "priviledged" to be less than, because we are Americans as McCain claims.
