On Monday night, first lady聽Michelle聽Obama聽gave a heartfelt endorsement of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, noting that Clinton engaged her husband in a fierce struggle for the nomination in 2008.
"I trust Hillary to lead this country," she said in a speech that provided a parent's-eye view of the White House and its power.
While Mrs.聽Obama聽has often avoided overt politics, her frustration with Trump's rise was evident. Without naming him, she warned that the White House couldn't be in the hands of someone with "a thin skin or a tendency to lash out" or someone who tells voters the country can be great again.
