Michelle Obama explains why she thinks the U.S. isn't ready for a female president
NBC4 Washington ^ | 1/22/2026 | Maria Fernanda Toledo

Michelle Obama opened up on “Call Her Daddy” about whether she believes the U.S. is ready for a female president.

The former first lady discussed a wide range of topics during her interview with Alex Cooper on the Jan. 21 episode of the podcast, including the scrutiny she faced while in the public eye and the media’s focus on her appearance during Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Obama also expanded on comments she made last November about whether she would ever consider running for president herself and what that says about the country’s readiness for a woman in the Oval Office.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said. “That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not.”

The U.S. is “ready” for a female president and has been for some time, but not the far-left candidates who have run so far. Kamala Harris wasn’t rejected because she’s a woman, she was rejected because she’s a far-left nut.

We are racists and sexists. That is how she thinks we make decisions.

How would her side know if the person elected was a woman or not.They don’t seem to be able to identify a woman.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said. We ain’t ready for you and Kamala, Michelle.

I tell my liberals friends I have the perfect solution for such issues.
Let the liberals choose what sex, skin pigmentation, religion, etc., etc., they prefer BUT let conservatives choose the person. For some reason they don't like this idea.

No Michelle, we just thought you sucked. Being a female had nothing to do with it.

The Obamas are irrelevant grifters who are only concerned with their grift not being discovered or ended.

Michelle, like Hillary before her, is merely a disliked grumpy wife of a relatively popular president who was bad at their job, but possessed a certain charm that they’ve used to coast through life.

In the liberal world, conservative women and black people or even conservative homosexuals don’t count.

Because A country ran by a women is a country that entirely embraces satan and his minions.

It’s not natural order to have a woman at the top of the food chain so to speak.

Well I have to admit I like it when she slags on her husband. Hating white people and her husband are her primary areas of concern because she’s under the belief that she would have been more than just another over educated leftist hack DEI hire, if she hadn’t hitched her wagon to him

Exactly. To Leftists, it is all about diversity, skin color an sexuality diversity.

For Conservatives, it is all about diversity-intellectual diversity. Diversity of thought.

And we don’t view the word “Diversity” the same way they do, that if for sure. They have pretty much ruined a good word by manipulating its meaning.

Big Mike doesn’t fit the definition of what a biological woman is.

American’s would easily pick a woman president if there was one running that was capable. I’m sure there’s a few more than capable they just aren’t running.

The left..which aren’t American would vote for a pile of dogshxt if told to do so. Biden being the prime example.
