You have heard many good and powerful speech’s till now. But this speech of Michelle Obama is worth listening. She delivered an incredibly effective speech.

On Thursday in New Hemisphere, First Lady Michelle Obama addressed the most powerful speech of this election that have engulfed Donald Trump’s candidacy. The First lady refused to even say GOP nominee Donald Trump’s name, she referred to say him as “candidate” or “Hillary’s opponent”.

The First Lady started by acknowledging the past few days. “I think we can all agree this has been a rough week, in an already rough election.” Obama described the audience how Trump had bothered her with his acts “A candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women and I have to tell you that I can’t stop thinking about this.” She explained audience how his words affected so many women on personal level, “I listen to all of this and I feel it so personally, and I’m sure that many of you do too, particularly the women. The shameful comments about our bodies, the disrespect of our ambitions and intellect, the belief that you can do anything you want to a woman. It is cruel. It’s frightening. And the truth is, it hurts. So many worked to end this violence, abuse, disrespect, but here we are in 2016 and we’re hearing the exact same things on the campaign trail.”

She clarified that why this year’s election is so important: “In our hearts, we all know that if we let Hillary’s opponent win this election, then we are sending a clear message to our kids that everything they are seeing and hearing id perfectly okay. We are validating it. We are endorsing it. We are telling our sons that it’s okay to humiliate women. We are telling our daughters that this is how they deserve to be treated. We are telling all our kids that bigotry and bullying are perfectly acceptable in the leader of their country.”

This was the most powerful speeches yet delivered in this campaign. She delivered the speech in the way that she felt the experience worse slights and body shaming than many women ever do.
