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.”

Can Big Mike explain why I don’t care about anything she says?

“”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.””

Total narcissist! Does she have any clue what is going on in the world?

Moochelle would no doubt receive 132% of the black female vote and something like 1-2% of other groups.

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.

That was Hillary.

Smart enough.

She was capable.

Unfortunately, she was a Leftist. And she was lacking in charisma unlike her husband.

Hillary was an idiot and that was proven out numerous times from her time as a senator to Sec of State.

I believe Sarah Palin would’ve been female Trump.

Michelle was just as angry and frumpy in 2008.

Later in 2009 and in the White House, the powers that be in government and media, gave her an image and propaganda makeover, adjusting and controlling everything from her hair to her wardrobe to her public speech. All the forces of deep-state controlled media told us how fashionable and high IQ she was

That experience didn’t change her basic character. Her resentment still lies with the USA, whites - and more publicly now, her husband.

Now that those supports are gone, she has reverted to her old self.

Notice the commies are fine with a female president as long as that female is a commie like they are, but they were 10000 percent Sarah Palin being Vice President because according to them she was an idiot, only an idiot if she didnt believe their far left ideology

When the headline begins “Michelle Obama explains why “ I don’t have any interest in reading the article.

I believe Sarah Palin would’ve been female Trump.

She was MAGA before MAGA became a thing.

I think it was the wrong time for her to get involved with national politics. Her family life was a mess.

Trump wasn't perfect. After all, he got married three times. But his children are doing great. Obviously, he knows what he is doing so as a result his family is doing well.

For as dopey and vapid as Kamala is, at least she is not as much a sourpuss as moochelle. Moochelle, who has achieved more success than nearly any human that has every existed simply for existing, never has a good thing to say about anything. Not her husband. Not her lifestyle. Not being invited on celebrity mega yachts. Her hair.

I do get a sense of joy knowing she is perpetually miserable.

Anna Paulina Luna would be my choice for a female president.

That is her excuse for not running as she knows that even if she managed to get the Dem nomination, she would get her ass whipped something fierce as most Americans can’t stand her, and that likely includes Barak.

”As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said.

We ain’t ready for you and Kamala, Michelle.

Or Horrendous Hillary.
