Michelle Obama is quietly planning her next act

As Michelle Obama prepares to leave the White House, she’s been talking publicly about how eager she is to return to normal life. “I want to open my front door without discussing it with anyone — and just walk,” she told Oprah Winfrey in an interview last year.

She has also said she wants to sit in a yard, stroll through a big-box store and open a window in her house, all things she has not been able to do for eight years.

The Obama family will also need income, to support themselves as well as the post-White House staffs they are building. Michelle Obama, who was once her family’s primary breadwinner, hasn’t earned a salary in eight years. For money, former first ladies and presidents have accepted paid offers to speak — not always without controversy — in addition to championing favorite causes.

Alas, the Ringling Brothers Circus just announced they're out of business.

They didn't have buffaloes in their acts anyway, did they?

Just sayin'.

[alternatives?]

It’s been longer than 8 years since she has had a real job. On the other hand, he has never had one.

Bump!

“her next act”

Stage left..ist. Give her the hook!

[RooRoobird20]

Michelle will always be beloved by unhinged leftist blacks, that’s a given. Outside of that very limited audience, I don’t see her being any more popular than Laura Bush or Rosalynn Carter.

I thought the circus was closing?

Wig envy

Her next act? Come out of the White House closet as “Michael” and show everyone what fools they were.

[Dick Bachert]

Hope it’s on the high wire without a net!

” hasn’t earned a salary in eight years”

As you just stated, she has never EARNED a salary. If she did, they couldn’t have replaced her with .....the empty chair.

[rawcatslyentist]

And her next house will be built by Mexican slaves!

[dfwgator]

LOL “Refrigerator” Michelle.

[x1stcav]

He’s coming out?

[a fool in paradise]

She wants to eat junk food without anyone in the media calling her a hypocrite.

[SauronOfMordor]

I’m thinking she’ll run for Senate, from either Illinois or Hawaii.

[moovova]

Please tell me it DOES NOT involve a pole.

[BitWielder1]

Stroll down the street without anyone noticing her?
Sure, the SS detail and the flashing cameras are very inconspicuous.
Shall we take bets on what will happen to the first store clerk who does not immediately recognize her?

The Obama family will also need income, to support themselves as well as the post-White House...

Does that mean that they haven't stolen enough to support themselves in the style that they have become accustomed too.

A coming out party?
