Michelle Obama, right before praising Hillary Clinton in her speech this evening, used a line that was deeply reminiscent of Clinton's own "invisible Americans" speech -- the one Hillary gave so many times, including on that fateful night when, beyond all doubt, she lost the Democratic nomination and yet, at first, refused to concede. Here's the Clinton line:
The injustice of poverty; the injustice of people who work hard all day and then on the night shift, and it is still not enough. The injustice of being invisible in a country of so much wealth and opportunity; having people walk by you in the halls and foyers and staircases of buildings you work and not even see you.And here's Michelle tonight:
People who work the day shift, they kiss their kids goodnight. And then they go out to work the night shift.--Dana Goldstein
