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.'"

Dumbtch! We don’t fear you one iota. And we don’t fear your husband either. And it has nothing to do with your skin color.
We just don’t like your anti-American politics!!!
Unless you start sticking your nose into my business.
At that point I will find you annoying.
So just leave me be.
You do not want me to regard you as a threat to mine.
“You are not mad at me.”
We couldn’t conceivably care less about any aspect of you gorgeous.
He suffers from the same self-referential obsession as she.
Eschew Big Mike.
She’s a h8er.
All she does is bitch and moan. No joy.
I don’t care about him/her at all. I am totally indifferent about Mike.
Such arrogance.
BTW she is still alive
Correct.
Big Mike is just another attention seeking huckster.
Why is everything about skin color to this raging a-hole?
He can’t speak one sentence, without some racial reference, and it’s a worn out shtick. No one wants to hear that b.s.
One thing you can say about Big Mike.
He realized his future is over WAY before the Clintons.
Does she honestly believe that all we do is sit around thinking about her???
Big Mike just said the quiet part out loud. All she has done all her life is check the skin color box. Never amounted to anything more nor ever will. Such is life on the rat plantation.
I don't devote even a nanosecond of time thinking about this arrogant narcissistic racist America hater. Hit the trail, Jack.
How many lobsters did she devour before making that podcast?
In corporate terms, “checking the box” is not a compliment. She knows that right?
I had forgotten how awkward her speeches are, head bobbing, laughing at her own jokes. It’s just strange.
