Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.
Michelle Obama: And to do it all as a first, and the higher standard that comes with all that. The claims that a U.S. senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism. Yet you were unflappable at every turn. You make our family and this entire country proud.
Michelle Obama: Barack did the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Saving an auto industry. Winning a Peace Prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation in the face of unspeakable tragedies.
