the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone39。s contribution and treat everyone with are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own 39。s who we standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn39。t want any of that to change if Barack became （中英文）/ 9 Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn39。t change who you are – it reveals who you see, I39。ve gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks I39。ve seen how the issues that e across a President39。s desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer...the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of at the end of the day, when it es time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you when it es to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his 39。s thinking about the pride that es from a hard day39。s 39。s why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal 39。s why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its 39。s how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right 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。t care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that39。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。re sick...and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care...that39。s what my husband stands it es to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could39。ve attended college without financial believe it or not, when we were first married, our bined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our were so young, so in love, and so in 39。s why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of in the end, for Barack, these issues aren39。t political – they39。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 lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we39。re from, or what we look like, or who we he believes that when you39。ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you （中英文）7 / 9So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it es to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years 39。s the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those munities and get folks back to work...because for Barack, success isn39。t about how much money you make, it39。s about the difference you make in people39。s 39。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 the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school 39。s the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent letter from the father struggling to pay his bills...from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance

as “us” and “them” – he doesn39。t care whether you39。re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he39。s always ready to listen to good ideas...he39。s always looking for the very best in everyone he I love that even in the toughest moments, when we39。re all sweating it – when we39。re worried that the bill won39。t pass, and it seems
