"I rarely walk in that office because the truth is he's got so many wonderful advisers. He's got a phenomenal cabinet. He's got people who are in the trenches on these issues every single day and I'm kind of stepping in and out and I've got my own set of issues," she said. "So I don't even have the kind of expertise and the time in to be able to provide the kind of advice and guidance that he's already getting."

"In the end, Barack, our family is priority for him, and I knew that if I said no he wouldn't do this," she said. "And then I had to think of whether I would want to be responsible for not having somebody like Barack you know, someone with his level of intellect, his honesty, his compassion, his vision. Would I want to be the one who stood in the way of this person potentially running this country? And I couldn't do that, because then I had to think beyond myself and my family and I had to think of sort of the broader benefits that this country could gain from his leadership."

Hey for once I do believe her! He rarely steps foot in the Oval either.

“He’s got a phenomenal cabinet.”

How would he know, he hardly ever meets with them.

[Doogle]

....there's no lobsters there...

Hey Michelle, it’s 3am and the Food Patrol Youth Brigade is calling.

[paul51]

he's got so many wonderful advisers. He's got a phenomenal cabinet

Ahhh, no.

[riri]

guidance that he's already getting."

The run down on what games are on what channels that day? Tee times? What day Beyonce and Jay Z can come over?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Funny that, MO. Neither does your supposed husband, obviously.

[hal ogen]

mooch-elle...take back your loser “husband”...America doesn’t want him. As to superior yada yada...face it...he is a loser marxist agitator puppet without an ounce of class or integrity. Face it, mooch.

True. He only goes there to watch Homeland.

[SERKIT]

Based on that criteria, Barry should not be there either. He is the least knowledgeable and least experienced person in the West Wing on any salient topic of choice related to the Office of the President as outline in the ‘charter of negative liberties’.

Yes but don't they need an expert to weigh in on whether the Russians or Chinese are eating enough of their vegetables?

[muir_redwoods]

The expression in English is “set foot” not step foot. How would one step foot?

[verum ago]

I don’t blame her. I here the stench of rotting hope is pretty potent.

[whitedog57]

This woman is despicable. Just go away, Wookie!

[Jewbacca]

There’s a strict “no pets” policy in the West Wing.

They confuse her with Big Foot and kick her out.

"So I don't even have the kind of expertise and the time in to be able to provide the kind of advice and guidance that he's already getting."

So we can now assume there won't be any more talk of Michelle Obama running for President, right?

[Kenton]

Well, Michelle, you better go visit it pretty soon, after January you won’t be allowed anywhere near the west wing.

[laweeks]

Probably ‘cuz there’s no food in there or because she can’t get her arse through the door.

[COUNTrecount]

Why step into the Oval Office when all the decisions come from Jarrett’s office?
