You know Michelle is tearing Donvict a new one without

[malaise]

even calling his name because Barack is everything he is not.

[Nikossitti]

1. Oh, Absolutely!

She’s going after his sorry ass in a big way.

[likesmountains 52]

2. The crowd loved it when she mentioned "He Won The Peace Prize." What a perfect jab.

[malaise]

9. She throws shade brilliantly

This is one for the history books

[wcmagumba]

3. So so true, she so good...

[Spazito]

4. ....

and

[AnotherMother4Peace]

5. Oh yeah she is. She is preaching the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. While tearing Donvict a new one

My husband just said "She would make a great president" "She's smarter than all of them".

[redstatebluegirl]

7. Oh yes she is!

[spooky3]

12. She would! But I knew someone who worked for her

And he said she absolutely hates political life (even though she is great at it) and would never run for office. So far, he’s been correct.

[multigraincracker]

13. Someone that's wants to be President

should automatically be disqualified. George Washington was the last one drafted for the job.

[ShazzieB]

22. But no one who is as clearly repulsed by the idea of running as Michelle should ever be nagged to do so.

I know that's not what you said, but I can almost hear the chorus of "Run, Michelle, run!" warming up for 2028 (just like it did in 2020 and 2024), and I'm dreading it, because I know she really, REALLY does not want that.

She'll never do it. She knows what she wants and what she does not want, and she has too much strength of character to be pushed into doing anything against her will. I just wish more people would recognize and accept that there is never going to be a President Michelle Obama.

[MustLoveBeagles]

41. I respect her wishes

[ShazzieB]

55. Cool! 😁

[electric_blue68]

32. Yes i've heard that for a long time

[malaise]

60. Chris Hayes - every living American President who isn't a convicted felon attended

[Deuxcents]

6. She is on fire 🔥 💙

[malaise]

8. A legacy is not an award or a name on a building- 😂

She tore him a new one.
That was freaking brilliant

[Deuxcents]

11. She never mentioned his name but we all knew

All without notes or teleprompter 😎

[Iris]

61. Goddess level!

This brilliant women, First Lady praising and showing how much she absolutely loves her husband, respects him and is his equal.
And speaks English so eloquently.
What a beautiful and hopeful speech.
Both sides this mouth breathers.
And you will never see her in photos with any Epstein trash. Or nude.
She is not a man, but she has more spine and strength than all those idiots that claim masculinity that trash her daily from the weakest of men in the GQP, in the world.
Eat your Damn Heart out Melanoma. And keep her words out of your useless mouth.

[Marthe48]

17. Well said

Thank you!

[niyad]

A sick one.

[niyad]

24. Sadly true.

[Goonch]

14. ;-{) The Barack and Michelle Obama statue is displayed outside The Obama Presidential Center

[CrispyQ]

35. "Being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are." Michelle Obama

I love them & my next vaca will be to Chicago!

[MustLoveBeagles]

43. I love those statues

Not a speck of gold in sight.

[wnylib]

My screen doesn't show a link.

[malaise]

20. The speeches and performances at the Obama Center

My bad

[BComplex]

38. I found it! I was late to the party!

Now I can't quit crying.

[sop]

[mobeau69]

53. They're all on YouTube. The Chicago affiliates had them up almost immediately after the speakers/performers finished.

They must have faster connections than me. LOL.

[electric_blue68]

31. Haha She was sooo good!

[TommieMommy]

37. Yes Yes Yes 👍

[Betty Boom]

39. Absolutely masterful speech

She was amazing from beginning to end. I almost hate to say it, but I think her speech was better than Barack’s. And his was fabulous.

[malaise]

47. Claire McCaskill agrees with us

It was clear as a sunny day.
Nicole says she spoke for millions of Americans today.

[pat_k]

40. "everything he is not" Why he is obsessed with attacking Obama....

... and the woman he loves.

Of course, the effort is futile because nothing could destroy the gifts Obama posseses or the esteem with which he is held by every sane, compassionate human on the planet.

https://thehobbledehoy.com/2019/03/08/british-writer-pens-the-best-description-of-trump-ive-read/

Someone on the question-and-answer website Quora asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.


So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

If you missed this back in 2019, the entire piece is a must read!

[malaise]

42. Was the truth then and

now

[mercuryblues]

44. I'm guessing Melania won't steal this speech.

Or would she?

[malaise]

46. Nicole covering it now n/t

[BeneteauBum]

54. Michelle is a class act

Dovetails nicely with Barak to symbolize the best in the first lady and her husband.

Peace ☮️

[Tree Lady]

56. Every rumor about her and Obama splitting up

Or having issues should be completely gone. I have never in my life heard a wife give such praise and respect to her husband.

I knew the rumors were fake but so many believe lies these days.

[malaise]

57. So true

Rec

[PJMcK]

58. The contrasts are almost unbelievable

The Obamas are classy, intelligent, patriotic, curious, talented, stylish, funny, empathetic, caring, kind and generous.

The Trumps are exactly not those qualities.

ETA: The Obamas are also beautiful while the Trumps… not so much.

[malaise]

59. Nailed it

and Donvict knows this which is why he detests them.
