"I want to thank Sharon Sprung for capturing everything I love about Michelle: Her grace, her intelligence, and the fact that she's fine," Obama said, eliciting laughs and cheers from the audience."And I want to thank Robert McCurdy for taking on a much more difficult subject, and doing a fantastic job with mine."
