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.

Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.

You work hard for what you want in life.

Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I'm very grateful for the support and kindness that we've gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband's policies or what have you, they care about children and that's been good to see.

Women and girls can do whatever they want. There is no limit to what we as women can accomplish.

I mean, hope doesn't get actualized in three and a half years. If that were the case, we'd be out of luck as a country.

And what has been just completely heart warming is to see that people are really hungry for something different.
