DENVER — Obama campaign strategist Anita Dunn tells the 6:30 a.m. conference call (Hey, we’re up!) that Hillary Clinton “graciously” reached out to Michelle Obama after her speech last night, though Dunn wasn’t sure if they actually spoke. 

Dunn said Michelle Obama will be in the hall tonight for Clinton’s speech.  Obama managed to get more than a few in the crowd verklempt with her tale of Barack Obama driving daughter Malia back from the hospital when she was born 10 years ago. Sasha Obama, 7, then upstaged both parents when dad made a cameo from a home in Kansas City, Missouri, after Michelle’s speech.  He was trying to introduce the Girardeau family, beginning, “Just like us…” when Sasha cut him off to give a shout out to the Girardeaus.  Must have been some people in the crowd exhaling, because the theme of the night, in case you missed it, is that the Obamas are just like us. 

Whatever it was Barack Obama was going to say, we’ll never know… but Sasha made the point a whole lot better than Obama Papa, the great orator himself.
