Former First Lady Michelle Obama kept it real during a segment of her “IMO Podcast” with her co-host brother, Craig Robinson, taking a dig at the Trump Administration, saying there is “no way” President Donald Trump’s behavior would be accepted if it were her family in the White House acting that way.
Obama spoke with comedian and host of the 98th Academy Awards, Conan O’Brien, who brought up a time when he traveled to a military base in the Middle East with “the first Black family” of the White House. The former late-night talk show host compared the Obamas’ need to be seemingly perfect to that of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. He reminisced on noticing at the time how the family’s team was “being so careful that everything is done by the book.”
That’s when Obama touched on it being her reality and how Trump’s behavior would be accepted if her family did the same. “It wasn’t even a feeling; it was the truth. I mean, there’s absolutely no way that the behavior in this current administration would have been accepted by the first Black family in the White House,” she said.
“So, fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to do because we are those people. It wasn’t difficult to follow rules; it wasn’t difficult to have high standards. It wasn’t very difficult, because in order to get where we are, as you’ve seen in your mother, you don’t get here without being damn near perfect.”
She continued to open about what would happen if her husband, former President Barack Obama, continued to fail at certain things during his time in office, touching on how many times Trump’s past has been overlooked. “We don’t get to fail two, three, five, seven times. We don’t get to file bankruptcy over and over again and still be considered a successful business person,” the Becoming author said.
“We don’t get to not be at the top of the class. Every ‘i’ has to be dotted, every ‘t’ has to be crossed.”
Since Trump’s second term began, Obama has been outspoken on the differences in acceptance with him versus other leaders, especially those who are Black.

Her brother is Jethro, and she is Jethrine.
So the story goes...
The most slobbered over couple in the history of the nation and that grouchy wookie does nothing but complain about everything. Why doesn’t that ungrateful slob move to Haiti and free herself from the oppression of her white worshipers. Everything about that woman is ugly.
Magilla says what?
Does she mean deportation of millions? Launching strikes without congressional authorization? Or…. Sending Iran pallets of cash? Subverting meritocracy for racism? Spying on US citizens? Confusing
If you capitalize “Black”, you should also capitalize “White”, and you should never use racist terms like “of color”.
Right, Trump’s not a communist so he’s held to a more rigid standard!
I’d accept it.
I would welcome it.
It would be a relief.
Che photo is a nice touch
She is right. They were smart not to try it.
Obamanation is incompetent in the real world.
HE CLOSED DOZENS OF DEALERSHIPS IN RURAL AREAS.
NOW, TRUCK/CAR OWNERS MUST TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO GET SERVICE.
ASSUMING THAT IS A FEMALE———
LOL
There’s no way her family would even know how to act like an extremely intelligent, practical minded, traditionally educated person who grew up with wealth and then made more of it by actually working.
