Michelle Obama is back doing one of the things she does best—giving compelling speeches. (Or, as she puts it, "I’m back! This is what back looks like.") On Friday, the former first lady gave her first big speech since she and her husband left the White House behind, and it had all the hallmarks of a classic Mobama address. There was empathy. There was hopefulness. And there was also, seemingly, at least a little shade thrown at the man who took over for her husband.

"Trust me, I know this work isn’t easy, especially right now,” Obama said, according to People. “I know there’s a lot of anxiety out there. And there’s no denying our kids, what they see on TV, the kind of behavior being modeled in public life, that, yes impacts their behavior and their character.” She also brought in one her most iconic quotes from the 2016 election season, telling the assembled crowd, "You all have the power to teach kids what it means to go high when others go low."
Obama added, according to CNN, "Folks like these up here, you all, you don't get dragged down by the headlines, by the false claims about our children and our neighborhoods, you don't have time for that nonsense because you're out there doing the work. No matter what's going on right now, out there, all that noise, you know that our young people are the future, and the most important thing we can do as individuals and as a nation is to believe in all of them, to invest in all of them and to build schools and communities worthy of their boundless promise."

“I’m back, and I’m beautiful!”
Eww..now I’m thinking about mich’s back.
Is that photoshop? If it’s real, it’s embarrassing. Has she had her coffee yet?
I know some real nice and nice looking black ladies. This vile Obama cretin is not that, she’s a primate. There’s a big difference.
As a disclaimer, I don’t use primate based on a colour, I use it based on actions.
ROTFL. Okay.
She (he) is probably talking to maury trying to figure out who those two kids who were around them for years belong to.
Big Mama Jama is BACK!
LOL. Yikes!
That shirt. Maybe she is a Kurt Cobain fan. /sarc.
All you need to be the dim candidate for President is give a pie in the sky speech full of platitudes and dramatic pauses (give the sheeple time to clap at your brilliance).
Which I’m not sure M.O. can pull off?
Wow! That is a big @ss.
Michael, Michael, Michael.....crawl back into to TG hole.
NO One give a shite what you have to say....we all heard enough of your lunatic babble for 8 long years.
“This woman WILL be POTUS one day”
I disagree. She is inherently lazy. Too lazy to even go through the campaign season to run for President.

STFU, Michael.
