Have you seen and heard Michelle Obama yet?  "It is politics as a game; it's a sport.  And what I get impatient with is politics as a game and a sport.  You know.  But that's the way it works. And one of the things that we try to do is stay focused on not doing that.  Because if you want to change it, you can't become a part of it.  You have to demand that people look beyond the gamesmanship, which i think folks did in South Carolina. . . it didn't work.  People did not respond to that tone of politics because I think we're at a point in time where people are tired of that, they're starting to see through it.  If we allow it in our politics then it's gonna happen in our day to day lives.  And I think that's why people are responding to the way Barack is approaching politics to say 'Look, I'm not gonna play those games.' "   
Smart, level-headed, and in this for the right reasons.
Passion and courage.
There's plenty more of her on youtube but these were my favorites.  She's fantastic.
