Michelle Obama confessed that the White House was wearying during an appearance before thousands of convention-goers at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Center City Tuesday, but the former first lady stayed largely away from politics and the current president.

“The last eight to ten years I felt like I was just running. It felt like being shot out of a cannon,” Michelle Obama said. “I was trying to develop initiatives and keep the girls’ lives normal. It was a constant feeling of not doing enough.”

The former first lady also commented on the carnage in Las Vegas: “My heart goes out to the victims and their families.”
