We're [President Barack Obama and I] clear on the fact that we have to stay humble and prayerful. We have to dig down deep to our roots. When things come together, we know some of it is Barack, some of it is us-but a lot of it has nothing to do with either of us.
As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.
Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.
Exercise is really important to me - it's therapeutic. So if I'm ever feeling tense or stressed or like I'm about to have a meltdown, I'll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Millions of Americans who know that Barack understands their dreams; that Barack will fight for people like them; and that Barack will finally bring the change we need.
Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.
You can be a good mom and still work out, get your rest, have a career - or not. My mother encouraged me to find that balance.
We have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
Elections aren't just about who votes, but who doesn't vote.
All of us are driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do - that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.
You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.
Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.
Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves,
