Saw Michelle Obama last night

A friend of mine and I went to her book tour in Denver. It was electric! She was SO funny and warm and intelligent and compassionate. I miss having people like that in the White House. Makes my heart ache.

She's another cold fish, unhappy, frustrated.

Michelle is getting the best revenge: being happy.

I was one of about 15,000 people at the talk but it definitely felt like she gave all of us a virtual hug!

Love that tweet! Reese Witherspoon did an excellent job as moderator.

She was at The Pepsi Center downtown, usually home to professional sports and rock concerts. Well, she definitely rocked it!
