. >> michelle la vaughan robinson, girl of the south side -- for the past 25 years, you have not onlyy wife and mother of my children, you have been my best friend. you took on a role you didn't ask for. and you made it your own. with grace and with grit and with style and with humor. [ applause ] you made the white house a place that belongs to everybody. and a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. so you have made me proud, and you have made the country proud. >> well, the president also recognized vice president biden calling him the first choice he made as nominee and the best one. on the first daughters, the president praised the young women as smart, beautiful and full of compassion. and in case you're wandering why sasha was not there, she stayed back in washington, d.c. because of an exam at school. politics aside, the love and support in that family is incredible. and you saw from malia, she was fighting back tears the whole time, she's so proud. >> it was powerful, emotional and personal. you could feel it. >> as a parent, i just started c

they'll get the main engines running, the departure coming up of barack obama and michelle obama. eugene robinsonon some level for the obamas. the weight that they carried, every moment of every day for the last eight years, and if you spoke with them you understood that that weight was always there. it must be novel and amazing not to carry that around. so it's a bittersweet moment for them but also you know, just a big sigh i would think. tinged with sadness. i thought president trump's speech was more substantive than i thought it would be actually and very sort of, he laid out what he's going to do. it is a protectionist almost isolationist agenda. you could call it nationalism, but he laid it out, and i thought he was, like no, i'm not going to stand here and say kumbaya. i'm not going to embrace other visions of the country. you know, we have one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny and he sees that glorious destiny fulfilled through protectionist policies, which he says will make us, will bring us great prosperity and strength. pseudoisolationist policies, we will defend our own borde
