In the spirit of our discussions about gender and rhetoric, I thought I'd post these two C-SPAN videos. The first is Michelle Obama speaking at the Democratic National Convention, and the second is Cindy McCain speaking at the Republican National Convention. One of them will be the next "first lady." A couple of things to think about as you watch the videos: How do they identify with being a woman, a mother, a wife, a US citizen, a political being, and so on? How do they see the role of first lady? How does gender influence their political values, beliefs, and so on?
