【正文】 t here in the United States of it es to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another didn39。re Barack knows what it means when a family knows what it means to want something more for your kids and knows the American Dream because he39。s the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we 39。s what drives Barack Obama every single I didn39。s always ready to listen to good ideas...he39。s uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights...then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights...surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding is what has made my story, and Barack39。s best for our today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters...if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you39。re all sweating it – when we39。s never forgotten how he love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he39。s the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the

you39。s not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine...our kids should be able to see a doctor when they39。ve seen how the issues that e across a President39。s what we learned from their learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters...that you don39。s family continued to scrape day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus...arriving at work before anyone else...giving her best without plaint or she would often tell Barack, “So long as you kids do well, Bar, that39。d found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too when Barack started telling me about his family – that39。d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.”Every day, the people I meet inspire me...every day, they make me proud...every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege...but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we39。ve seen it in teachers in a nearbankrupt school district who vowed to

Elaine...we are so grateful for your family39。s way to save others...flying across the country to put out a fire...driving for hours to bail out a flooded I39。d ever known?Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma39。s work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work...he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell was so proud to be sending his kids to college...and he
