ABC News: Michelle Obama 'stopped even trying to smile' at Trump inauguration
CNN Politics ^ | November 13, 2018 | Eli Watkins

Former first lady Michelle Obama wrote that she was unable to put on a happy face and smile during President Donald Trump's inauguration in her new book, according to ABC News.

"Someone from Barack's administration might have said that the optics there were bad, that what the public saw didn't reflect the President's reality or ideals, but in this case, maybe it did," Obama said in audio of the book. "Realizing it, I made my own optic adjustment. I stopped even trying to smile."

In its interview with Obama, ABC News further quoted from her book, where the former first lady described her reaction to Trump's defeat of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in stark terms.

"I will always wonder about what led so many, women in particular, to reject an exceptionally qualified female candidate and instead choose a misogynist as their president," Obama wrote.

The Washington Post previously noted that Obama wrote she would "never forgive" Trump for promoting the false "birther" conspiracy about President Barack Obama.

Trump pushed back in response to the quote, saying, "She got paid a lot of money to write a book, and they always expect a little controversy."(continued)

“Oh who gives a damn about this woman.”

I’ve learned to read the ‘poker tells’. Like a bad poker player, the MSM shows their hand. They’ll be plastering it’s face all over the news for the coming future—because they’re priming the pump to be Killary’s running mate.

And because the ‘local’ news is nothing but scripted clones and serfs, they’ll follow suit.

On the other hand George W. Bush and Michelle Obama are BFFs.

Daily updates on Michelle Obama = gearing her up for a presidential run in 2020. Trump is right ... the media are the enemy of the people.

Haven’t you heard? We’re supposed to select blacks for everything now lest we be labeled racists. It’s worked well for them so far.

Give Michele a break. She probably had her penis cut off before she left the White House and was in pain.

I’m being PC and using the proper pronouns. Please do not zot me.

That is highly unfortunate, since everyone, the entire nation, glances around nervously to see if Michelle bestows her blessing with approving smiles.

She told Oprah that after the Inauguration, when the plane took off and they were leaving DC for the last time, she sobbed uncontrollably for 30 minutes. And she told Barack she souldn’t believe how hard it was, for 8 years, and that they did such a good job in spite of it being so hard.

I will always wonder about what led so many, women in particular, to reject an exceptionally qualified female candidate and instead choose a misogynist as their president," Obama wrote.

it is because they are able to have and enjoy using their own independent rational judgement, and can think and choose for themselves, rather than being social metaphysicians and allowing themselves to be controlled by groupthink, collectivism, and determinism. But no leftard would be able to understand that.

Yeah remember during the 9/11 ceremony she was seen saying “All this for a flag” you can damn well bet if Melania Trump had said that the commie media would have been all over her, but since it was Michelle Obama and they agree with her disdain for this country than its all good

The MSM has had more wonderful, positive things to say about Michelle in the past 2 weeks, than they have said about POTUS in 2 years.

It is nauseating.
