About this Article
Democrats are using one of Barack Obama's strong suits, that voters believe he understands the problems of ordinary people, to trump his weakest suit, the economy.

"I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are," the first lady said.Latest Galleries
