Posted by Melissa McEwan at Wednesday, September 05, 2012
Last night, First Lady Michelle Obama gave her address to the Democratic National Convention. Her speech was so popular on social media that tweets about the address peaked at 28,003 per minute, which was almost double Mitt Romney's peak of 14,289 per minute.

Below is video of the address. A transcript is available here.


And here is the ridiculously adorbz picture from the official White House photo stream of President Barack Obama and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, in the the Treaty Room of the White House, watching the First Lady take the stage last night:
