You know, it's hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to the White House as First Lady. Eight years ago, I was a 44-year-old woman — a mother, a wife, a daughter — and I was terrified. I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters — two beautiful, intelligent, Black young women — playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. Because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters — and all our sons and daughters — now take for granted that a woman can be on the presidential ticket. I want a leader who is worthy of that hope. Someone who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters — a president who truly believes that when you've worked hard, done right by your children, played by the rules, you deserve to be counted. Do not let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great. Because this right now is the greatest country on earth. Barack and I pour into this campaign everything we have. Every day I watch him face impossible decisions with grace and humility. I can count on him. When they go low, we go high. Be surrounded by people who push you to be better. Reach for the promise that this country has always held out to those who are brave enough to reach for it.
