If former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama had to pick the words that have guided her over the years, she said she would pick a song by Stevie Wonder or a poem by Maya Angelou. Despite those and many other points of inspirations, Obama said the words she thinks of every day are those of her parents:
"When I think about the words that stay in my head, that guide me, what I wake up to every day, it's the voice of Marian and Fraser Robinson," she said in an interview with poet Elizabeth Alexander during the inaugural Obama Foundation Summit in her Chicago hometown.
Obama reflected on the words and phrases that her parents shared with her growing up: "Do what you say you're going to do, be honest and true, and treat people with dignity and respect."
"Those words guide me and they led me to Barack Obama," she added, "who reminded me very much of my own father in his decency and his honesty and his compassion. That was my foundation."
Michelle and Barack Obama celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this past October, during which Michelle tweeted to Barack, " you're still my best friend and the most extraordinary man I know."
She underscored how when thinking about the everyday words that personally influence you, they don't have to be poetic or set to music to matter.
"Most of the words that guide us are those words that we've heard growing up," Obama said. "For me, I had some pretty powerful parents who were very understated and humble in their own rights, but I live each day trying to make them proud."

What was the advice?
Honey, go out and get a Fop, he will look good on your arm, make a lot of money and leave you alone after a couple of kids.
They said, ‘Marry a spineless gutless man that takes drugs and sleeps with other men.’
Michelle is nothing if not obedient to her parents.
“The crucial advice from Michelle Obama’s parents that led her to Barack Obama”
Use duct tape to keep your package hidden?
Michelles Daddy once upon a time: Michie, baby, don’t cry, baby. It is very hard for some girls to find a good man. Dry those tears! What about Reverend Wright? Some say he always finds a good hardworking husband for all kinds of women! You need to check it out, hes got this DLC, his Democrat Leadership Club I think its called. He will find you a good man, sure he will!
Was she born in Little Rock?
Maybe a better musical influence would be Lou Reed’s “Take a Walk on the Wild Side” or the Kinks “Lola”.
Michelle and Barack Obama celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this past October, during which Michelle tweeted to Barack, youre still my best friend and the most extraordinary man I know.
So.... she had to tweet it to him because they werent anywhere near each other ?
That was the public tweet. In private her words were less nuanced. You effing lazy jerkoff, birthday My Ass, you bring AIDS into this house with all these guys you don’t even know, Ill whip your skinny mocha ass!
I thought it was Rev. Wright’ “Down Low Project”.
She also apparently had some parents who taught her to hate the country she was born into and raised in. How else did she develop the arrogant attitude that “for the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of my country.” Your country, Michelle? Forget it... The country belongs to those who have always loved it and been proud of it and in spite of your husband’s efforts, we continue to love it!
AND Angelou - sorry - her poetry is wayyyyy over my head. I defy anyone to define what any of it is about...
She doesn’t consider whites to be people.
A black guy named Fraser? Probably where Michele gets her anger.
I know, I know, It was “If that homely White cow Hillary can hitch herself to someone that could be President, so can a homely Black cow like you!”
Of course. They were in public.
In that case, I suppose shes being consistent.
They were off camera and no public except my family members. More likely caught them in a rare moment of humanity.
Michael here is your chance, 0banger will love you lower equipment
Didn’t we taxpayers pay Mrs. Robinson’s rent for 8 years?
