The First lady said Chicago Olympics would "light up lives" across the world.

Michelle Obama's schedule is as densely packed as her husband's.
In advance of his arrival, Mrs Obama did some high-powered lobbying for Chicago. The first lady has been in Copenhagen since Wednesday, holding one-on-one meetings with IOC members. She also was to have a speaking role in Chicago's presentation and was expected to focus on her personal experiences growing up and raising a family in the city.

Mrs Obama said she's relying on lessons learned during the 2008 presidential campaign, when the Obama team focused on making personal connections with voters and rallying support up until the last possible moment.

"You can't take any vote for granted," Mrs. Obama said Wednesday. "Nobody makes the decision until they're sitting there."

After speaking to the IOC, Obama is scheduled to meet Denmark's Queen Margrethe and Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen at Christiansborg Palace, the seat of government and parliament in central Copenhagen.
