I come here as a mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election.
- Michelle Obama


I just wish I could understand my father.

I've been there and I've done that, ... I've never liked looking back, whether it's looking back at college or at high school. I'm going forward.
