“All of you have been coming together and doing things you thought you would never do – like coming to a political rally on a Saturday night.” - Michelle Obama
Last night, forty thousand people attended the late night rally in Springfield, Missouri. Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha appeared together as a family on stage three days before the election.
Michelle thanked the audience for their enthusiasm and support during their campaign journey of the last twenty-one months. She noted that, “We have seen young people finding their voices for the first time and stepping up. The not so young people have been stepping up too.”
She continued by saying that Barack is ready to be president. While she wants to give much of the credit to Barack, she noted that the race is not about him. It is about the American people who have decided to work for change.
After Michelle’s introduction, the audience enjoyed a rare opportunity of watching Barack walk to the stage with his two beautiful daughters, Sasha and Malia. Barack joked that he was not the most popular Obama there tonight -- the audience had come to see Sasha, Malia, and Michelle.
Earlier in the day, the family was in Pueblo, Colorado. You can watch highlights Michelle's introduction of her husband below:
