MICHELLE OBAMA APPEARED on The Tonight Show to continue promoting her most recent book The Light We Carry. On the show, she took the opportunity to reflect on what it was like to return to the White House last fall after spending eight years there as the First Lady. She and former president Barack Obama went back to hang their portraits after not being invited to do so while Donald Trump was in office.
“It was really a beautiful experience,” she recalled. “It’s a tradition – you do your official portraits, the next president is supposed to invite you back to hang them. We were never invited back, so these pictures have been done for a long, long time… So it was good to see everybody.”
Obama also discussed how she feels that change happens best in “small bites” and her continued belief in the motto “When they go low, we go high.”
“People still keep asking me, ‘You still mean that? Still?'” she said. “I didn’t know I’d be known for that line, but I’m proud of that. People ask me, ‘Do I ever go low’ and yeah, I go low. I go low a lot of times. But I think for people who have a platform who are being looked up to, we have a responsibility to stay high. Because kids are watching us. If you need to go low, go low at home.”

Might be because your HUSBAND created a spy system that is hounding Trump until this day...
The lack of self-awareness is priceless.
I wouldn’t have invited her back either. Why would any President?
Self-entitled, arrogant, ignorant and perpetually self-victimizing …. That’s The Mooch.
Why go? I’m still remembering how proud Moochie was of her organic carrot garden-—until someone told her the Klintoons had buried hazardous waste in it-— yup, she’s a natchural farm girl/it/thing.
Trump wasn’t gonna walk into that trap. As soon as he would have invited them for their portrait unveiling, they would have refused..That’s how they roll..
Going high like your husband calling Sarah Palin a pig? So sick of this bitch who despite having had the best of everything this nation has to offer still has a titanic chip on her shoulder.
Perhaps President Trump was being polite. He did not want to have to strip search them for stolen property when they left.
And her mother too!
I cannot stand the obamas!!
Barry said he would fundamentally change this nation.
The open border and the millions invading my land..
...he, a foreigner, has no right to do this to the rest of us!!
Barry and joe are guilty of treason against the United States..
If there are seating available at their judgment... I’d like go know they were held responsible for once.
Trumps haven’t been invited back to display their portraits.
Thats the way you like them
That is what I have been thinking for the past couple of weeks. All of a sudden M. Obama has been showing up in a lot of places that makes me think she is angling for an official invite to run for something...either the Presidency or Senator.
Go to hell Mike, seriously.
I’m fed up with the whining from Big Mike!
Woman? Not even close.
I don’t think that there is much left of the parts of the White House that slaves may have built. The building was heavily damaged during the War of 1812 andgutted for renovation in 1949.The Executive Mansion is basically the Ship of Theseus, albeit with systems that the original builders couldn’t conceive of.
FUMO!
“We were never invited back..”
They hadn’t cleaned up the stank you left quite yet.
“...to continue promoting her most recent book The Light We Carry...”
Who ghost wrote that dreck for you? Michelle can barely sign an X for her name much less write prose.
I used to like the video clip with Obama and Mooch at a table eating at some DC dinner and Obama and John Boehner were joking around. Big Mike gave them a look of utter contempt as she continued to shove food in her piehole.
I always wondered what they thought was so funny.
