Michelle Obama Meets With Hillary Clinton In Denver

(CBS)
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:

(BILLINGS, Mont.) Michelle Obama was greeted by Hillary Clinton at the Emily's List Event in Denver today. The former first lady and the possible future first lady had a cordial conversation about their respective speeches. Clinton congratulated Obama on her speech last night while Obama wished Clinton good luck on her address tonight.

Aides say that Clinton called Michelle Obama earlier today, but the two did not connect. Obama was on her way to a campaign event in Denver.

Last night, Michelle Obama expressed gratitude to Clinton, saying, "People like Hillary Clinton, who put those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling, so that our daughters – and sons – can dream a little bigger and aim a little higher."

Obama will watch Sen. Clinton's speech from Montana tonight.
