Former first lady Michelle Obama said at a recent event that the US isn’t ready for a woman president, pointing to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House last year.
“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said in response to a question from actor Tracee Ellis Ross on whether there has been enough “room” created for a woman president.
“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman,” Obama told Ellis Ross. “We got a lot of growing up to do and there’s still … a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman and we saw it.”
Obama’s conversation with Ellis Ross took place in Brooklyn, New York, to promote her new book, “The Look,” which is about her approach to fashion and politics during her and former President Barack Obama’s time in the White House. The conversation was posted online on Friday.
The former first lady is among Democrats’ most effective — and popular — surrogates, which for years, has fueled a desire among her supporters that she run for president. Michelle Obama has repeatedly shut down that speculation.

So how does this affect him then?
They haven’t worked out well for countries who have had them.
Ridiculous. We came this close to electing Hillary Clinton. Kamala failed because she has nowhere near the competence of Hillary Clinton.
American to Michelle Obozo. America is ready for a woman president. We are not ready for Hitlery or Kamala one any other churlish unimaginative nitwit twit like you!
Not a NWA.....that’s for sure
The sexual organs and chromosomes an individual possesses has nothing to do with their qualifications for elected office, and anybody who brings them up is a bigoted, divisive sexist.
She’s right, I hope.
I’d taken Thatcher as prez.
Yup—not Mike’s problem.
When I went to the grocery store today, I noticed that "People" magazine has Michelle on its cover (again). Have they ever put Melania on their cover?
We weren’t ready for the ones that have run so far, but that’s a tiny sample.
No one cares what you think Big Mike. Just go away.
This hateful thing hasn’t stopped flapping its lips for days. And, as usual, it only spews hate and anger.
“ As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,”
Possibly her grammar is a clue, why, at least she isn’t ready.
Nope and they never will.
Not sure about that but am sure that we will never be ready for the incompetence of Kamala Harris or anyone like her.
When is this skank gonna be done talking? No one cares.
He’s running
He can’t shut up these days
We are not ready for a Democrat woman president, that’s for sure.
