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.”

I don’t even want females voting any longer much less a female president.

The incessant complainer speaks.

Who slighted her today? Some stranger failed to genuflect in her presence?

Whatever you say, Big Mike.

"As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready." - Michelle Obama

Speak for yourself and your Democrat cohorts. I voted for Sarah Palin.

I hope we'll never be ready for someone like her (him?).

Michelle has a victim mentality, always the victim

“a chronic, pervasive belief that one is a helpless target of external circumstances, others’ actions, or fate. It involves a persistent refusal to take accountability for one’s own life, often accompanied by intense self-pity, blaming, and a belief that they are constantly wronged, even when evidence suggests otherwise”

Who ever said Big Mike was a woman? And what the hell difference does it make any way... your whole vile, perverted, evil, psychotic Demonic Party can’t even define or acknowledge what a woman is, so how in the hell would they know they were voting for one?

Did Michelle support Sarah Palin as VP back in 2008?

I didn’t think so. Big Mike is a feminist advocate only when it suits her.

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

Ain't. Ain't ready. Ain't.

Also we aren't.

But I could be. Give me a hardended, true fiscal conservative, and the genitalia have nothing to do with it. How about President Jeanine Pirro?

Whether we are or we aren’t, I give the opinion of this person zero credibility.

“You know, we got a lot of growing up to do,” Obama said. “And there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.”

That's right Michelle. Immature men just can't handle a woman president.
