Former first lady Michelle Obama said Saturday that she isn't interested in running for office, cautioning that "it doesn't matter who runs" for the presidency until the U.S. becomes unified.
The remark came in an interview with actress Tracee Ellis Ross at the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles when Obama appeared to respond to an audience member urging her to seek office.
"Well, that's a whole other story because, that's not the answer either. And when I hear people say, 'you run,' it's part of the problem. We still didn't get 'yes we can' right," she said, referencing her husband's 2008 presidential campaign slogan. "It's not 'yes you can,' it's 'yes we can.' And until we get that right, it doesn't matter who runs."
Obama, who has repeatedly said she has no plans to run for office, called the search for a unifying president a "distraction."
"Change starts close to home. So looking for the next person to run … I don't mean to cut that off, but that's been our distraction," she said. " 'We're going to wait for the next person to save us.' We thought it was going to be Barack Obama, but he didn't end racism."

Is this for real? Michelle O. making semi-accurate statements? Except for the comment "...until the U.S. becomes unified", which is a fantasy, her other comments actually make some sense! Am I wrong? What's the catch here?
"Barack Obama...didn't end racism."

Well, he’s not that smart or good looking so.....
“Former first lady Michelle Obama said Saturday that she isn’t interested in running for office, cautioning that “it doesn’t matter who runs” for the presidency until the U.S. becomes unified.”
She’s usually really good at defending her husband - so why the ATTACK here, essentially saying that her husband failed to unify the country?
Yeah, but he can scowl and look mean to our enemies. But yeah brains are in short supply with Michelle/Michael.
“It’s not ‘yes you can,’ it’s ‘yes we can.’ BUT ONLY as long as you all do it the way I think it should be done- otherwise, we’re not united’
See how democrats think? They claim bipartisanship but in reality, they think bipartisanship means that the opposition MUST think and act the same way they do or else it’s not bipartisanship
“Unified” is just another word for fascism.
Well, she lies so what does that mean?
I hope she means it. There are more than enough PussyHatters
who would elect her in a heartbeat. All the know it all celebrities would kiss her feet, her ring and ‘whatever.
She would be Queen of the Angry Scowl.
Truth. He made it way, way, WAY worse.
First drag queen? First trans-whatever? Just choosing to run as male or "female" would yield endless mirth.
With her caboose, the only thing Mooschele would run for is the ice cream truck.
Don't you mean "Forever"?
First Princess Chelsea, now Princess Moo.
Running for office is too gauche for the First Wookkiee. She prefers a simple coronation.
I’d sure appreciate a court to rule that the limit of term of service of a president also applies to their spouse and put an end to these never ending ‘power couple’ runs.
Who asked her to?
This is the most disappointing and sorrowful news I’ve read today. I’m headed to bed now and I’m not sure I’ll be able to fall asleep. I’m that distraught.
This is almost as heartbreaking as hearing McPain won’t let President Trump come to his funeral.
Sniff. Sob.
