Michelle Obama Gives First Post-White House Speech: 'I’m Back! This Is What Back Looks Like'
Glamour ^ | 2/3/2018 | Molly Horan

Michelle Obama is back doing one of the things she does best—giving compelling speeches. (Or, as she puts it, "I’m back! This is what back looks like.") On Friday, the former first lady gave her first big speech since she and her husband left the White House behind, and it had all the hallmarks of a classic Mobama address. There was empathy. There was hopefulness. And there was also, seemingly, at least a little shade thrown at the man who took over for her husband.

(snip)

"Trust me, I know this work isn’t easy, especially right now,” Obama said, according to People. “I know there’s a lot of anxiety out there. And there’s no denying our kids, what they see on TV, the kind of behavior being modeled in public life, that, yes impacts their behavior and their character.” She also brought in one her most iconic quotes from the 2016 election season, telling the assembled crowd, "You all have the power to teach kids what it means to go high when others go low."

Obama added, according to CNN, "Folks like these up here, you all, you don't get dragged down by the headlines, by the false claims about our children and our neighborhoods, you don't have time for that nonsense because you're out there doing the work. No matter what's going on right now, out there, all that noise, you know that our young people are the future, and the most important thing we can do as individuals and as a nation is to believe in all of them, to invest in all of them and to build schools and communities worthy of their boundless promise."

Anyone who would admonish with the words “Trust me,” is not to be trusted.

Good gawd she’s wearing men’s pajamas from Wal Mart and it looks like she greased her hair extensions down with Brylcream.

Hey Michelle, “a little little dab’ll do yah!”

No, she doesn’t want the job and she’s too lazy and petulant to do the job. Even her pot-smoking homo husband says this!

Bath House Barry has said several times Moochie is not interested in being POTUS; she wasn’t even that happy about being FLOTUS (even with her 27 personal servants).

Think of the dozens and dozens of times when she publicly complained about “how hard” it was to be First Lady. What a lazy, whiny, race-baiting beyotch.

Did she say she’s running for President in 2020 because she’s the most qualified Woman in the World ?

I don’t want to see what her “back”looks like. Her front is bad enough.
