Chicagos favorite former First Lady announced via an Instagram post that the tour will hit 10 different US cities to coincide with the release of the book. The United Center gig is Nov. 13, the same day the book is scheduled to be released.Becoming covers the story of Obamas life, from her roots as a black girl growing up on Chicagos South Side to her tenure as the first lady of the United States, as well as everything between.

The Wookie-Bookie tour.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Obama and kicking off in the same sentence...
Becoming? Becoming what, a woman perhaps?
Liberals, you can’t make this stuff up.
They’re charging to get in....? Are these people out of their minds? Nobody is going to pay to see her, or any politician for that matter. I wouldn’t fault someone for not wanting to pay for a Trump rally, even though you know that people would pay gladly if they could get a reserved seat.
Running for President or VP in 2020?
Will the book include any pictures of her while pregnant?
“Becoming covers the story of Obamas life, from her roots as a black girl growing up on Chicagos South Side to her tenure as the first lady of the United States, as well as everything between.”
A. She can’t write.
B. Should be titled “Unbecoming”.
C. Who cares?
Now ...folks, all of you & us should remain quiet and let Moochelle Obama do her thing, we shall see if she can fill these ten arenas up with adoring fans and supporters of the Democrat Party.
Ah...yes the Obama’s go on raking in the bucks from all the African-Americans they screwed during Obama’s eight years in office. Sadly...some folks never learn...but, then again some folks do learn and prosper under POTUS, DJT!!!
Ha ha, nobody is going to pay $30 to see her, outside of some deranged leftists. Likely she will be at a desk in the lobby of the United Center while a line snakes out the door. They just want to make it seem like a stadium tour...they will be sadly embarrassed.
These people are so full of themselves...and really, really stupid.
There's nothing "becoming" about he/she/it.
She sports those monotoned arms, you know.
Looking forward to seeing surreptitiously taken spy-cam photos smuggled out showing a vastness of empty seats.
Can you imagine if Trump charged for a rally? I mean people would gladly pay $100 on up if they were assured of getting a reserved seat, they wouldn’t have to wait, and within the first 40 rows. The media would scream.
If he had Melania with him, they’d probably pay even more.
Who is she raising money for?
This is going to be the biggest flop of an event...I mean the only people going are the people THEY PAY to go.
Not food for intellectuals.....
