PUEBLO, COLO. -- First Lady Michelle Obama spent the day in Colorado rallying support for her husband's re-election campaign in Arapahoe County and Pueblo.

Michelle Obama addressed a crowd of 1,000 supporters Wednesday, saying their hard work is not a lost cause, and that their grass roots effort is what got President Obama elected the first time.

But getting voters to the poll is only half the challenge in a re-election campaign, the other is reminding voters of the president's successes including: pulling troops out of Iraq, cutting taxes for small business owners, and doubling Pell grants.

Watch the video above to see some of the speech.
