First Lady Michelle Obama stole the limelight on the first night of the Democratic National Convention Monday night in Philadelphia.
Obama took the stage to energetic cheers and applause. Her speech had an extremely positive tone.
She opened with anecdotes about her children and how they grew up in the White House.
Obama was greeted with resounding cheers when she fully endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
Here are five main themes Obama covered:
1. Bullying
Obama addressed bullying in her remarks, a blatant punch at Republican nominee Trump, although she didn’t mention his name.
Obama said her and the president talk to their two daughters, Sasha and Malia, about how to deal with aggressive acts and how they “urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.”
“How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level,” said Obama as the crowd erupted in cheers.
“No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.”
2. ‘I’m With Her’
Obama then went on to say that her and the president’s “friend” Hillary Clinton is “truly qualified to be president of the United States.”
