Michelle Obama Can’t Wait To Live a 'Normal Life' Again (taking a LONG break from the public)
Time Magazine ^ | 4:04 PM ET | Samantha Cooney

Michelle Obama has already shot down suggestions that she’ll run for president, but that doesn’t mean she’ll stay out of the spotlight entirely.

The Washington Post reported that the First Lady eventually plans to set up an office with a small staff. The office will be run by Obama’s deputy chief of staff, Melissa Winter, who Obama described in an email to the Post as one of her “most trusted advisors and dearest friends.”

But first, Obama, who has used her post to advocate for education for women and girls and children’s health, plans to take a long break. Then, she’ll work with staff to figure out what she wants to focus her time on. “She has such a powerful voice. You don’t have to augment with a lot of things,” Winter told the Post.

There’s been speculation that Obama will write a memoir after leaving the White House, following in the footsteps of other first ladies. Winter said that she thinks writing would be a natural fit for Obama. “I think she’d be a wonderful children’s book author. We haven’t set up a process for that, [but] down the line it would be a natural way to exhale from an experience like this,” she said.

But Obama has made it clear that, above all, she craves a sense of normalcy that she lost when her president took office. “Right now it is an empty plate,” Winter told the Post. “I really think the most important thing is to give her time to breathe and get acclimated to being a private citizen again.”

The Mooch will be back in the limelight of the Control-LEFT media within 48 hours.

It will be like a moth attracted to the porch light.

A normal life? Oh, will she actually get a real job? One not created just for her and that she will actually need to show up for? No? Didn’t think so.....

Speaking on behalf of the public, make it a very, very long hiatus from us, Moochie.

I’d say it’s even money that she’ll be right out in front leading the riots by Friday evening.

Brings up an interesting question. What are the odds the Obamas overspend and go broke? Or at least have to get bailed out by someone they have dirt on like the Pritzker family. I think it’s within the range of possibilities down the road.

Don’t let the door hit you on the caboose on the way out!

In my mind's eye, picturing that, I gotta feel sorry for the door. Where'd I put that eye bleach?

I wonder how they’re going to like actually DOING something for their money, now. I mean ... they’ll have to go around ‘speaking’ and stuff. Maybe they’ll invent a ‘foundation’ like the Clintons.

Oh, brother... SO nauseating! As if I haven’t already reached the gag point with the MSM, full court press, which force feeds “O” to the American public.

ENOUGH!

“O” is such a media whore, addicted to attention and drunk on ersatz acclaim. With this contrived and very self-conscious, ‘wall-to-wall’ notoriety…with all the MSM efforts to create a cult of “O”, I wonder if anyone would care to remark on similarities to Adolf Hitler and how he got and kept such a stranglehold on the German public?

The very same people who are drooling over “O” ask HOW on earth Adolph Hitler was able to con so many people.

The MSM is guilty of open and unalloyed PROPAGANDA… I am sick of it
