The Michelle rollout continues with this new video, just blasted out to supporters by the Obama campaign, of Michelle prepping backstage for her big speech and giving her little girls tongue-in-cheek advice to come out and praise her performance. . .
The vid underscores two of Michelle's goals here tonight: To soften her and make her a more mainstream figure, and to deflect attacks on the Obamas as intoxicated with their "celebrity."
