A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office. Just the opposite, in fact. Because the minute that individual takes that oath, they are under the hottest, harshest light there is. And there is no way to hide who they really are.

From Michelle Obama

Elections aren't just about who votes but who doesn't vote.

From Michelle Obama

When you're not engaged in the day-to-day struggles that everybody feels, you slowly start losing touch. And I think it's important for the people in the White House to have a finger on the pulse.

From Michelle Obama

Kids are watching us. I experience it every single day. They hang on my every word, what I wear, what I say.

From Michelle Obama

I have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he's feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.

From Michelle Obama

Talent and effort, combined with our various backgrounds and life experiences, has always been the lifeblood of our singular American genius.

From Michelle Obama

Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted - folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.

From Michelle Obama

As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are.
