First Lady Michelle Obama gave a passionate speech in front of the energetic crowd during the first night of the Democratic National Convention, sending a strong message that she is behind Hillary Clinton.
Obama stuck to the positive-calling out the negative view of America that was painted at the Republican National Convention last week. “The hateful language that we hear from public figures on TV… Our motto is, when they go low, we go high,” said the First Lady.
“This election — every election — is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of our lives,” Obama told the cheering crowd. “And I am here tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility — only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States. And that is our friend, Hillary Clinton.”

Obama also commented on Clinton’s commitment to the American people, and how even when she lost in 2008 she didn’t give up:
“When she did not win the nomination eight years ago, she did not get angry or disillusioned. Hillary did not pack up and go home because as a true public servant, Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own disappointment.”

“We are always stronger together,” Obama added. “Who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters. I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be, and that’s why in this election, I’m with her.”
