Tonight  First Lady Michelle Obama did what only she could do. Tonight at the  Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, the First  Lady re-introduced her husband, President Barack Obama, to not only the  Democratic delegates, but to voters sitting at home watching their  television screens.

While  listening to the First Lady speak with such passion and pride, my mind  went back to a little over 4 years ago when her husband was running to  become president versus her husband now running to keep his office. At  that time, the then candidate Obama's wife raised many eyebrows with  many of her statements which seemed to say she was not a proud American.  But tonight, I must say when listening to the First Lady, with all due  respect from the old commercial from the 1960s, I kept thinking, "You've  come a long way, baby."

Tonight  instead of the woman who 4 years ago seemed unsure if she really wanted  to be First Lady or whether she really wanted the father of her  children to sit in the White House, we saw a woman who has grown in to a  woman filled with pride and who has taken on her role as First Lady  with gusto.

The  First Lady did exactly what all expected she would do. She painted a  picture of her husband as a man with a vision, but with roots back to a  life of meager to modest means who rose above the adversity to sit in  the Oval Office.

For Democrats, the First Lady had the choir on its feet and singing the "Hallelujah Chorus".

While  much of her speech has been heard before, tonight the First Lady took  on the persona of a woman dedicated to her children and her husband  first and then to her country. The line that seemed to pull the hardest  on the heart strings and touched every woman in the convention hall was  when she said that her main job continued to be "Mom-in-Chief".

For the party faithful, tonight could not have been better. For the party faithful, the First Lady more than delivered.

Question is did it make a difference with the independents sitting at home still unsure which way to turn come November 6?

From the Cornfield, I bow to a woman who truly has become First Lady in America.
