Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – And Barack and I were…
“And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – We can make a commitment…
“We can make a commitment to promote vegetables and fruits and whole grains on every part of every menu. We can make portion sizes smaller and emphasize quality over quantity. And we can help create a culture – imagine this – where our kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – As a mom, I know…
“As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else’s, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – And in my own life…
“And in my own life, in my own small way, I’ve tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That’s why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us – no matter what our age or background or walk of life – each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – I am an example of…
“I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – I love that we can…
“I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – I am desperate for change…
“I am desperate for change – now – not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – It wasn’t so long ago…
“It wasn’t so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it’s just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – Whether you come from a…
“Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.”
-Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama – The problem is when that…
“The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that’s what’s happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.”
