President Obama?s better half

Laguna Beach, Calif.: After watching Michelle Obama?s speech in Charlotte, it?s fair to say she will join Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush as one of our most beloved First Ladies. Who would have guessed the President is the second-best speaker in the White House? Denny Freidenrich

Sacramento, Calif.: I found Michelle Obama?s speech at the Democratic National Convention very touching and inspiring. We must always remember our humble beginnings and those who made it possible for us to achieve our dreams. Saad Karamat

North Massapequa, L.I.: Watching Mayor Julian Castro and First Lady Michelle Obama give their speeches, I agreed that the government should give help and opportunity to those willing to work hard. My problem with Democrats is they they see this assistance as a way of life and not a window of opportunity. James Jacobs

Perfect timing

Myrtle Beach, S.C.: I find it very fitting and appropriate that the national debt passed the $16 trillion mark ? the highest in U.S. history ? on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. John M. Schaeffer

Full accounting

Jamesburg, N.J.: While Voicer Robin Dimaio has 16 trillion problems, I have 16 trillion plus two: Mitt Romney doesn?t pay his fair share of taxes, and Romney sends American jobs to China. Frank S. Tarulli

Get serious

Island Park, L.I.: Are you people still talking about Mitt Romney attacking a helpless boy in high school? Has he not made up for that act throughout his adult years? We all did things in high school that we regret. It?s the things people do as adults that we should consider when voting for a President ? like spending 20 years listening to anti-American, raving lunatic pastor Jeremiah Wright or spending time with communist Bill Ayers. Rose Johnson

Missing the point

Garrison, N.Y.: With all the self-congratulatory speeches at the Republican National Convention, not one speaker alluded to the three issues transforming this nation into a Fourth World country: obsession with policing the world, outsourcing of jobs, illegal immigrants and failure to control our borders. Catherine Portman-Laux

No sale

Staten Island: To Voicer David Koch: The only way to solve our deficit is to tax evil, greedy, rich traitors like you. We have already tried the GOP trickle-down approach to economics, and it failed miserably ? or did you forget? I take a dim view of your attempt to buy my country so that you can bring back the gilded age when workers had no unions and no rights. Gary Perl
