CHARLOTTE -- There's a new speech-maker being heralded at the White House and her name is Michelle Obama.

"I might be a bit biased, but I thought @MichelleObama knocked it out of the park at the convention last night," tweeted President Obama, in a post he signed himself.

By the time Michelle Obama finished telling stories of the couple's own struggles with money and their shared dreams for their daughters, Twitter had exploded.

According to the online social networking service, there were 28,003 tweets per minute at the conclusion of Obama's remarks. That's about double the number after Romney's acceptance speech last week, which was 14,289 tweets per minute at its peak.
