Former first lady Michelle Obama addressed the current state of U.S. politics during an appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast, calling for "empathy."(snip)
Speaking on the podcast about the current state of political leadership in America, Obama said, "You are not mad at me."
"You don't understand a lot about the world," she continued, "You've been told a lot of things about who people of my skin color are. You've been taught to fear me, because of what you're going through."
"'Business leaders, and people in power, who want power, and haven't understood their 'why' can lead us down some dark tunnels, right?" she said, adding, "But it's the empathy for me."
"That ability to give some perspective that allows them to not take all that hate in and to really see the light in people. It's just a better way to live," she said.
Obama also addressed her decision not to attend Trump's second inauguration, which led to speculation about her marriage on social media.
"As a box-checking person who has been checking her whole life, doing the right thing, trying to always be an example...I think I just told myself, 'I think I've done enough of that.'"

She's an utter embarrassment.
Not mad. Just totally indifferent.
I think I missed school that day.
Stupid and racist is no way to go through life, Mike.
This isn’t the Wookie you are looking for.
She is suffering, isn’t she, poor thing.
She never stops talking about herself. An undeserving and privileged narcissist of the highest order.
She should shut up and go on vacation
Taught to fear totalitarian communist dictators such as yourself?
Darn right I have and a proper teaching it was, too.
He/him
You mean HE’S an utter embarrassment..that’s a man..that is why they had Joan Rivers offed
obvious proof that MO is a woman
“Checking boxes” generally means fulfilling all the requirements or criteria of something, often implied by a checklist or list of needs, like “affirmative action”.
Mike’s proud of having received special treatment, all the while condemning ‘entitled white people’.
Incredible.
Take your Ill Gotten Gains, slink off into the Sunset. Oh, and STFU!
Count your BLESSINGS, you ingrate! Because you’d NEVER be a MILLIONAIRE MANY TIMES OVER were it not for AMERICA...and the stupid morons that VOTED for your ‘husband.’
*SPIT*
Joe and Jill Biden will be on The View next week. Whoopie!
wouldn’t you need to be thinking of someone to be mad at them? I don’t think enough of this person to bother being mad.
Just what the hell did she just say? The nice thing about her podcast and recent appearances is that the more we hear from her, the more we’re annoyed by her. Tell us what we know. Right. Coming from her in no known language, to borrow a phrase from Christopher Hitchens in his comment about her thesis in college. If she would just go away, I would embrace the emptiness. And stop telling me what I hate, whom I hate. You don’t know me well enough.
I don’t hate her skin color....I hare that she’s a :IBERA: DEMOCRAT and wants to RUIN AMERICA!
Who cares what that skank has to say?
