Success is only meaningful - and enjoyable - if it feels like your own.

Be passionate about something and lean to that strength.

Barack and I have been in the public eye for many years now, and we've developed a thick skin along the way. When you're out campaigning, there will always be criticism. I just take it in stride, and at the end of the day, I know that it comes with the territory.

We need to support Mary Burke for Governor!

The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves.

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.
