NEW YORK (AP) — Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey headlined Brooklyn’s Barclays Center like an A-list duo Saturday, getting a rock-star like applause from a feverish audience of fans on a stage typically reserved for pop, rap and basketball stars.
It was the fifth tour stop of “Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus,” Winfrey’s full-day wellness event with WW (Weight Watchers Reimagined) that had the New York venue usually holding concerts at night buzzing with bright-eyed attendees lined up as early as 8 a.m.
It marked Obama’s return to Barclays just 14 months after appearing at the arena for her own sold-out tour to promote “Becoming,” which has sold more than 11.5 million units worldwide and won a Grammy Award last month.
“Does this feel like déjà vu for you?” Winfrey asked. “Because you were here wearing those bad, Balenciaga gold boots!”
“Barack is like, ‘Where are those boots?’” Obama said. “I was like, ‘They’re put away, honey. Just settle down.’”
The former U.S. president was one of the main topics discussed during the wide-ranging, hourlong conversation which, at times, had the former first lady coming off like a comedian headlining a sold-out show.
“All of the people in this room paid money to come out, to give up a Saturday...,” Winfrey said before Obama chimed in with: “And as I said — ain’t nobody twerking onstage.”

The conversation turned slightly political, again, when Winfrey asked Obama what the next chapter of her life would entail.
“President,” some audience members yelled. Others screamed, “White House!”

Thats the surprise
They both seem to have a food allergy that has them looking like Mrs. Sasquatch. Ouch.
LOL
Barclays Center Capacity 19,000 . I wonder how many were there?

Just wanted to point that line out again, in case anyone missed it.
how many were there? I have looked numerous times for photos of the “crowds” at Michelle Obama’s “events” in big stadia...and I have NEVER found a single photo!
isn’t that strange?
maybe someone can post some and prove I didn’t look hard enough.

It looks packed. But this an Oprah self improvement seminar. Not an Obama speech. It goes from 9am in the morning and into the night.
It is truly depressing that there are so many stupid people. And they even paid for this ... event.
Now that is funny!
Big Mike will never run. It would be too much work. Much easier to bask in the adulation of her adoring fans.
God spare us that image.
Let’s Eat!
Ego is a helluva drug. Plus, think of the money a presidential run could bring in.
Please assure me that because of her tumultuous reception, Michelle is once again proud of her country.
0 oh my God this is so disgusting. My sister gave me a subscription to the old magazine and I sent it back I changed the address just send it back to her
Can we just trade their lives for Neil Perth please I miss him so much and I hope I really hope that he caught the myth.
Fermented grapes.
Why is Oprah culturally appropriating white people’s hair?
I thought Mike was busy shooting those Jack Link jerky ads?
So people know what you’re talking about:
