How Michelle Obama Spent Her Week - First Lady Michelle Obama wowed the Democratic masses at the party’s national convention in Charlotte during a major speech that was part valentine to her husband and part her case for his re-election. Throughout the event she left women, young and old, Black and white, both awestruck and inspired. But the party’s over, so to speak, and the first lady is back at work performing solemn duties, promoting Let’s Move! and preparing to go back on the campaign trail. —Joyce Jones (Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images)
