Democrats officially kicked off their national convention with the help of an aspiring First Lady. Michelle Obama served as the keynote speaker Monday night in Denver, where she talked about family and why her husband should be the next US President.

Wisconsin Congresswoman Gwen Moore says Obama “hit one out of the park” in establishing that her family is just like every other one in America.

Obama talked about her humble roots and her father's battle with MS. Moore says it was an inspiring tale that really makes her believe in the American dream. Moore says the story of Barack and Michelle is one that should be celebrated all week at the convention.
