with multiple rounds of applause from the
large crowd, many of whom waited in line

the delight of those in attendance.
Obama revealed many details of her life
as a working mom both before and during
her husband's presidency, and her easygoing "real person" style was as evident in this
talk as it is promised to be in her forthcoming memoir. She was especially grateful for
