She pretty much laid down the law against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

“We weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time” after a bruising primary campaign.
“Don’t let anyone tell you that this country isn’t great”.
“This right now, is the greatest country on earth”, she said.
Watch Michelle Obama‘s rousing speech that energized both the convention crowd and the social media, in the video above.
Recently, Michelle joined James Corden for an awesome installment of “Carpool Karaoke” where they rocked out with Missy Elliott and talked about what she’s going to miss the most about living in the White House. Bernie Sanders, Sarah Silverman, Eva Longoria, Paul Simon, Boyz II Men and Demi Lovato, it was the first lady, Michelle Obama, who made the most compelling and riveting argument as to why a former first lady should be the next president of the United States. On Monday night, she was Hillary Clinton ‘s.
The First Lady also turned personal, her voice cracking at times, when she discussed the future at stake for her two daughters. So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.
The only person “who I trust with that responsibility”, she said, is “our friend Hillary Clinton”.
The Obamas know that a Clinton administration is the best way to preserve the president’s accomplishments, including health care reform, the Iran nuclear deal and renewed relations with Cuba, said Peter Slevin, a Northwestern University professor who wrote the first lady’s biography.
“And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children”.
Obama also offered a strong endorsement of Hillary Clinton, who will accept the Democratic nomination for president this week. “Because of Hillary, my daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States”.
She lauded Clinton’s early career as a lawyer, when she was an advocate for children with disabilities, and for children in general throughout her career.
Last week, at the Republican National Convention, Melania Trump, the wife of Republican hopeful, wore Christian Louboutin to give her remarks.
Michelle Obama became the top searched speaker of the night on Google. And my daughters, two lovely, intelligent black young women play with their dogs on the White House lawn. “We need to get out every vote”. And how well we manage this experience could truly make or break them.
But theirs was a relationship that grew once the campaign came to a close. “Hillary Clinton is an impressive woman”.
Garry Mauro, head of the Clinton delegation for Texas, called Michelle Obama’s speech “stunningly good”.
“From the minute after this was done, right, she has always been just cordial and open”.
“Our motto is, when they go low, we go high”, Obama said. She has been unbelievable. And very quickly she was caricatured in some quarters as an angry black woman.
At the 2012 convention in Charlotte, South Carolina, Michelle said that even after four years as head of state, her husband was the same man. “I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are”, she said.

“With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us”, Obama said.
