Michelle Obama Talks Motherhood

sign up for the momlogic newsletter Tweet This

Michelle Obama spoke at a gathering of Women for Obama in Chicago. Read her letter to momlogic about the event -- and hear what she said about being a mom.

Michelle Obama's letter to momlogic:

"I'm very excited to join your network of women dedicated to supporting one another and sharing our unique perspectives as moms. We wear so many hats -- wives, mothers, professionals, sisters, friends and citizens, and this forum is so important to discuss issues that matter so much to all of us.

On Monday, I spoke with a gathering of Women for Obama in Chicago -- a network of women across the country who have been organizing and engaging women in the political process throughout this campaign. At this event, I had a chance to share with those women my experiences on the campaign trail, and why I believe my husband, Senator Barack Obama, is the right leader to support women and their families, and enact policies to help them to reclaim the American Dream.

Here's a short video excerpted from my speech:

And, at the event, the campaign unveiled a 12-page blueprint for America's Working Women and Families that I wanted to share with you. You can read it by clicking HERE.

Barack and I understand that for working families, trying to balance jobs and kids and maybe even again parents of their own, the American Dream can feel like it's slipping away -- and that's not fair or right. Barack is committed to arming working families with the resources they need to not only survive but thrive, and we hope you'll support this campaign and stay part of the dialogue to help bring these dreams within reach.

Best,

Michelle Obama"

Later this week, Michelle Obama will be answering questions from momlogic moms. Stay tuned!

Thank you Darla and Sue for your support. Darla, you are right she is just the best. I am hoping and praying that her husband is the next President of the United States of America.

You had me at hello Michelle:):) From the moment I heard you speak at UCLA (I think it was) I realized you were a woman of such exemplary character. I on
mybarackobama.com and I support you and your husband wholeheartedly. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. Keep those speeches coming from the heart - no one does that like you!!
I LOVED THE WAY YOU INTRODUCED “Your Mommy”:)

Some of Michelle’s speeches are really disturbing. For the first time in her adult lifetime she’s proud of her country? The Obama people tried to pass that off as meaning about politics, but after Rev. Wright appeared it put it in a new light. Plus she told New Yorker that she thought America was a mean country.

No thanks. That’s not the attitude I want of my First Lady.

If you are willing to buy real estate, you will have to get the business loans. Moreover, my brother all the time utilizes a collateral loan, which occurs to be really useful.

Fantastic read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on that. And he in fact bought me lunch mainly because I identified it for him .So let me rephrase that: Appreciate it for lunch! My best regards, Izetta Goolia.

Hey - wonderful blog site, just looking around some websites, seems a pretty great platform you are using. I’m presently using Drupal for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform very similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would suggest about it? Best wishes, Kellee.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
