Barack Obama cries when Michelle gives speech
In the final run-up to his convention, President Barack Obama implored college students Tuesday to help him get out the vote, calling the election a chance to "close the gap between what America should be and what it is right now."
Obama told the crowd that, on this day, his remarks were a distant second to his wife's.
"This is just like a relay. You start off with the fastest person," he said. "So I'm going to be at home, and I'm going to be watching it with our girls. And I'm going to try not to let them see their daddy cry. Because when Michelle starts talking, I start getting all misty."
The president travels to North Carolina on Wednesday.
