Michelle Obama is quietly planning her next act
WaPo ^ | 1/16/17 | Krissah Thompson

As Michelle Obama prepares to leave the White House, she’s been talking publicly about how eager she is to return to normal life. “I want to open my front door without discussing it with anyone — and just walk,” she told Oprah Winfrey in an interview last year.

She has also said she wants to sit in a yard, stroll through a big-box store and open a window in her house, all things she has not been able to do for eight years.

The Obama family will also need income, to support themselves as well as the post-White House staffs they are building. Michelle Obama, who was once her family’s primary breadwinner, hasn’t earned a salary in eight years. For money, former first ladies and presidents have accepted paid offers to speak — not always without controversy — in addition to championing favorite causes.

Nope. She will start her own non profit and hobnob with celebrities.

She will be the spokesperson for Hollywood’s pet causes, will live quite well, and will do little actual work. Kind of like the last 8 years.

Are you kidding? The book advances alone will be well into 8 figures. Former Presidents don't lack for money.

Not sure about that, but I can tell you he has a verified twitter account and has nothing good to say about his half brother.

He is also very involoved in the pro-Trump community.

AND GET THIS LOOTING MO---Remember compassionate Michelle talking about "teaching Muslim girls? Soon Obama sent Michelle off to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars "to teach Muslim girls." Recently, he gave her 100 million dollars to give Muslim Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" (to be held by, and doled out by, the Obama Foundation).

Can you please provide your source for the statement that it will be held and doled out by the 0bama Foundation. Ive searched and search, but no luck. I posted it elsewhere and was called out on it to prove it or provide a source. Thanks!

Mmmmmm........this tells me they're trying to eradicate all reference to the 100 million b/c the public exposure is making them nervous.

The original bombshell reported the 100 million tax dollars he gave to Michele came from a State Dept agency under Hillary's control---the Millennium Challenge Corporation. (MCC) Hillary also dipped into the MCC to hand Clinton cronies millions of tax dollars for make-work projects.

=============================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways....govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE---http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.

Are any of his official WH comments being regurgitated in fund solicitation latter

Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the Obamas.

Or take a walk in the woods, and run into Hillary.

And wear these moose antler hats for hunting season.
