Michelle Obama shared with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts some key advice she'd give her pre-White House self, if she had the chance, as the two sat down to discuss her memoir, "Becoming."
"You know the hard parts were the things that I expected," Michelle Obama told Roberts in the exclusive interview.
"That it was gonna be hard, you know? Being the first black anything is gonna be hard."
"So much of this country lives in isolation and we just don't know each other. ...
There were people who didn't know what a black woman was and sounded like. And, so I knew that was gonna be a challenge, that I'd have to earn my grace -- and I experienced that on the campaign trail," she said.

On the campaign trail, she was insulted and her patriotism was questioned.
"I write about those, you know, those nasty times where people, you know, called me Barack's 'baby mama,' you know? Accused me of not loving my country. ... Told me I was angry," she said. And, I was, like, 'This isn't me. Wait, wait, people. This isn't who I am.'"

President Trump responded Friday to Michelle Obama's comments about him in her book, pointing the finger at former President Barack Obama.
"She got paid a lot of money to write a book and they always expect a little controversy," Trump told reporters. "I'll give you a little controversy back, I'll never forgive [President Barack Obama] for what he did to our U.S. military. It was depleted, and I had to fix it."

Why are we featuring either of the Obama’s on these threads! my gosh they are history and neither is serving office...
Mooschelle’s book tour:
“Blah blah blah RACE blah blah blah blah BLACK blah blah blah...”
But being the first makes you special..part of an exclusive club..that only people with the same skin color can even begin to appreciate.
While everyone else is insensitive or racist.
Especially if they don’t recognize your skin color.
Even though 99.99999999999% will never get to be first lady and enjoy wealth and all the perks that go with it.
Zactly...
My thoughts as Well,

Bammy and the Beard.
They could both “Come Out” now
and be Rock Stars!
Hadn’t ever read that story. Thank you. I feel a little better now.
Becoming...naked ???
Oh PLEEEEEEEEEASE don’t !!!
I have grandchildren. I will, with their parent’s blessing, teach them that COMPETENCE TO DO A JOB, is the most important thing when electing someone to office or selecting a job applicant. Identity is the LEAST in IMPORTANCE in either situation.
There is always a STARTLING difference between how Chewbacca looks on a book or magazine cover and how she looks in real life.
For her latest book cover, she must have spent six hours in a salon chair, and then the final photo had to be HEAVILY cleaned up and photoshopped.
I think Honey Boo Boo’s mother requires less work to make her look moderately attractive.
To show the sort of insanely ridiculous leftwing bias that we are up against. And to afford us an opportunity to respond to it. Hopefully, some lefty lurkers will at some point come across the thread.
Yeah, Google is over-the-top leftwing biased and fake. One often needs to wade through 10 or more pages of search results before coming to a source that is not leftwing.
BS! she introduced Barry as “my babies daddy” at some campaign event, 1st time around. So now she’s offended by “baby mama” ? Michelle, you’re too good for us. Go away.
Apparently no white audiences ever heard Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, etc...
From a website called, AltMuslim.com:
"...speaking of hypocrisy, and the southside of chicago- and barak obama- one time i went to the bud milliken parade ( a very big event- about 6 hours long) and at one point- michelle obama appeared waving on top of an escalade, she was wearing torn jeans, a drumpled semi dirty t-shirt half tucked in and out- and her hair was crazy undone- then she made a small speech- and actually referred to barak as her "baby daddy" (not baby's daddy even you'll notice)
some of the crowd bought it- but i thought it was really over the top in the way of pandering, as i knew she was going to a state dinner that evening and can only assume her demeanor and dress would morph accordingly."

From ABC News...
Marry Your Baby Daddy Day!
One Woman Wants to Bring Marriage Back to the Black Community
"This was not the historical norm. Most black kids were born to married parents until the time when President Johnson promised to end poverty. Perhaps because poor people were offered more government aid, moms had less need for a husband. Some mothers could lose a welfare check if their husband made money. People respond to such incentives, and the out-of-wedlock birthrate has continued to grow across the board, but especially among blacks.
'There is no stigma anymore in the black community about having a child out of wedlock,' said Reid, which led to the creation of Marry Your Baby Daddy Day. For those who don't know, Reid explains that 'a Baby Daddy is simply...an unmarried father. But they've become caricatures in the ghetto.'

Obama is NOT an Black as understood in America. He is half African/ Half white American....
although speaking of first he is the first demonstrably ineligible person installed in that office. Additionally he is our first Communist President.
Emboldened by Barack’s success (sic) the American Socialists are in the process of overthrowing the country as founded. I see this as the lead-in to the 2nd Civil War. This time it will be the large Democrat cities in rebellion/sedition. Instead of wide swaths of destruction the inner cities and suburbs will suffer.
Wherever it goes Socialism/communism bring horrible destruction in terms of potential and lives.
Well said.
My Gawd! Who gives a Flying Obama?
A racist puke fest
do you think she calls Barack BaRayRay? LOL.
We need to point out these examples of blatant leftwing bias. The media claims there isn’t any bias.
