She touted her husband's accomplishments, highlighting that he took over an economy “on the brink of collapse” and nurtured it into “one starting to grow again.”
The audience, the majority of which was female, broke into the first applause during her speech when she noted that her husband's administration is working to help women get equal pay for equal work.
The crowd cheered again seconds later, when Obama noted her husband's accomplishments in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “Thanks to the tireless work of our intelligence and counterterrorism communities, and the heroic efforts of our troops, the man behind the 9/11 attacks and so many other horrific acts has finally been brought to justice. And that happened under this administration,” she said.
After noting other accomplishments by the president, Obama appealed to the audience for funding and help in the campaign.
“We have made significant changes [since 2008] and we should be very proud of what we accomplished, but we should never be satisfied because we know we still have a lot of work to do,” she said. “We know there are too many kids in this country that don't have what they need to succeed. We know there are too many people still struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
“The truth is that all those folks we campaigned for and we won for, that we've been fighting for these past two and a half years, those folks still need our help,” she continued. “And that, more than anything else, is what drives my husband as president.”

Is this 1975??
Guess the Aspen crowd’s standards are even lower than I thought.

Shes says this crap with a straight face and those who worship him applaud. The sad thing his these “Hitler worshippers” still beleive this man is great.
I saw that, too. Proves beyond a doubt this man is another Jimmy Carter.
Could have been worse and have Sir Mix a Lot’s song, “I like big butts”.
Well, isn’t Aspen Colorado filled with the same kind of people who live in Seattle and San Francisco?
>The crowd cheered again seconds later,
Even trained circus seals have the IQ to know when there’s BS in front of them...
It’s the altitude that causes the blindness
Aspen?
Isn’t this where Michelle pigged-out last time she was in town?
Wealthy dingbat housefraus in Aspen dig Moochelle. Shocking.
I’d like to see her wide a** on a pair of skis.
Uh.... that would be EVERY town she goes to.
I believe this is a Dem workshop....M O N E Y....
These elitist libs obviously aren’t paying their fair share. They have more than they need. They are the cause of our current deficit mess.
I guess they have nailed down the Aspen Colorado vote.
“Isn’t this where Michelle pigged-out last time she was in town?”
You’ll have to be a bit more specific.
