SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- To Michelle Obama, "dreaming is everything."

The wife of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama stumped for her husband in Utah on Monday, calling him the hope for future generations.

She said her husband's campaign revolves on providing the nation's children with opportunity through reforms in education, health care and the tax system.

Obama said the nation faces a "deficit of empathy" that limits motivation for change.

Her comments came from a rally at Salt Lake City's Salt Palace Convention Center, a day before presidential primary elections take place in Utah and 21 other states.
