Michelle Obama drew cheers from the crowd with her speech to the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.
"Today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are -- it reveals who you are," the first lady told the audience.
