Michelle Obama tells women in Philly WH life was like 'being shot out of a cannon'

Updated: October 3, 2017 — 4:15 PM EDT

Michelle Obama confessed that her years in the White House were a whirlwind during an appearance before thousands of convention-goers at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Center City Tuesday, but the former first lady stayed largely away from politics and the current president.

“The last eight to ten years I felt like I was just running. It felt like being shot out of a cannon,” Michelle Obama said. “I was trying to develop initiatives and keep the girls’ lives normal. It was a constant feeling of not doing enough.”

In an hour-long discussion moderated by television writer Shonda Rimes, Obama dispensed career advice to the women at the conference, encouraging them to “make your voice heard, or speak up, even in the White House.” During her career as a lawyer, Obama said, “A lot of times at the table I would realize someone’s an imposter, like ‘You are a fool.'”

Currently, she’s working on completing a book which should be released “around this time next year.”

No worries. Chewbacca is too lazy, dumb and negative to run for POTUS. If she did run, she would be annihilated by DJT. Totally annihilated.

Must’ve been a whopper of a turbo-charged cannon, given the Mooch’s heft.
