@@JFDavis-lq1bp Hi :) just asking : the news we get from sources are so negative,is it really dat bad there,or Trump is bang on about fake news if there is any such things. i refuse to believe everything is down the drain..
S F , seems to be ? Honey she is, what has the Republicans put in place of decency and intelligence ? Well need I point out the obvious low level we now have in the White House ?
I know it's a detail but I always notice how when Michelle talks about the time in the White House she says "we". We did, we went we thought. Melania says he. He does, the goes, he thinks. She doesn't want to be involved or do anything or have opinios. The Obamas were a team, I have no idea what the Dumps are supposed to be.
A sugar daddy and his short-term fling gone wrong. You know if he had not become president, Donnie would have upgraded Melania by now right? He doesn't do "old" women. Melania is nearly 50 now and by his standards she is past it.
"Kids don't come to this earth jaded and racist and cynical and mysoginist. They come here pure and open! We teach them all that stuff. We owe them better." Best quote 💕
A class act. Without a doubt eloquent, intelligent and fully engaging. The USA is missing out by not having her as a First Lady representing them. Michelle is so much more than the current first wife. Her work has already left a legacy.
Wow, when Michelle spoke about 'hating from a distance' it choked me up because I remember my own experience. Many years ago my husband was stationed at Ft. Drum but we lived 32 miles away in a little town where Black people were only seen because of the military and the prison. It was harder than I ever imagined because for the first time in my life I met people that weren't afraid to show me how racist they really were. And of course I had to pretend not to see or hear it because taking in hate hurts just like spewing it on others does. But one day a friend of mine came to me and said, "I need you and your family to come to my home. You see my father is very racist and I need him to see what Black people are really like." Talk about feeling like I needed a moment! Despite my misgivings and my fear we went. And to my surprise it was indeed one of the best experiences I had in that town. Although I was aware of the challenge I was also aware of the opportunity we were given to show one person that our differences weren't really about our colors but about the fact that we never took the time to get to know one another face to face. (And sometime afterwards my friend told me what happened after we left. She said her father didn't expect to like us so much. I understood exactly how he felt. I didn't expect to like him either. Funny what happens when people stop being labels and start being humans.)
Thanks for sharing your story, and thank you for having an open heart and mind to what could have turned out badly, but didn't. This is so true, that hatred is much easier from a distance. I live in a small rural community that is mostly white, retirement age republicans. One young man is married to an hispanic woman and they have an adorable son. They are well-liked in the community, but very few know that she is an undocumented migrant because she came here with her Mom and siblings when she was a toddler. Her brother was deported last year, leaving behind a wife and children who are US citizens. They are not criminals, they are hard workers. They have applied for citizenship, but it's not a simple process and takes years. I know many neighbors who hate "illegals" and talk about the Central American and Mexican migrants like they are cockroaches. I wonder how many would have a change of heart if they knew their lovely, kind neighbor who is always willing to help others is "one of those illegals".
Andre Stewart what does that pertain to this statement? Additionally, the concept of remembering casual experiences when engaging in high stress situations in which actions must be incremental produces an obscure sense of memory. Vietnam vets can’t tell you how the beautiful scenery was, because the effect of stress of memory. When you are in a small craft engaging in stressful and complex maneuvers, you don’t remember the ambience...
What a pleasure to watch. Barack and Michelle blew us away with their class, intelligence, authenticity, poise and hope for a better world. Thank you for leaving a strong impact and legacy and for showing the world what leading with integrity looks like.
@Gursimran Dodd Thank you for your thoughts. Obama was the first President I voted for back in 2008 and we really did take him for granted. He showed the world the good that was America. Sadly Trump is showing the bad that is also found in America and we find ourselves fighting for the soul of this nation. Thankfully the last election was a rebuke of the Nationalistic bigotry and we hope that 2020 will be yet another rebuke and we will get a sane president again like Obama.
I work in a hospital in Texas, and the number of drug overdoses and the lives that are being ruined is frightening, if 0.5% of the us budget for a wall is gonna reduce the problem by any percentage then that is hopeful, if minimum wage workers aren't gonna lose their jobs for immigrants ready to work for 4 dollars an hour then there is hope . You can lead by hope but when you don't act on it then .....
Yes - a brilliant Princeton and Harvard educated lawyer with a distinguished career and a compassionate soul v. a gold-digging nude model from Slovenia who makes fun of traumatized/ orphans children with her “I really don’t care do u?” f*cking jackets. Almost as stark as the differences between their respective husbands.
"It is difficult to hate up close. Make sure you do not see other people through the filter that media creates for us." 💛 Words to live by. #BecomingGraceful
How can anybody not absolutely love Michelle Obama? She's the total package: funny, brilliant, sincere, uplifting and beautiful inside and out. I literally weep when I think what has replaced the Obama White House.
jessie7339jessie she's his wife, nothing more, nothing less, she has no say so in national policy. And second "he dropped more bombs than any president in history" is a lie. do YOU remember WWI? WWII? Vietnam? Did he drop the atom bomb? he killed terrorist. He pulled us out of Iraq. And your statement that Trump is pulling us out of wars that are unnecessary???So fighting Isis is unnecessary??Us pulling out emboldened Russia because they support the Syrian regime. Whom consider the Kurds their enemies. The Kurds are American allies in the region but that's a good thing yes??
She was young, she was fun. She was happy. She was old sometimes, wise all the time. She brought fun and gaiety and beauty into the WH. I loved the way she and Barack showed their affection for each other...never effusive, never obtrusive but it could be felt and it was heart-warming. You go Girl. You were an awesome FLOTUS.
"What is the bar we are setting for ourselves?" "What kind of moral leadership do we want in the White House?" "What do we want to model for our kids?" Excellent question from a woman whose family kept that in mind in all they did.
@@annecollins7065 You are delusional. Obviously you didn't notice that the economy recovered quite quickly after the 2008 Recession, none of that can be attributed to Trump.

It's a shame people are still bashing them. Some will never get over the fact that the this beautiful black Harvard educated family lived in our white house.
Mostly the current office holder because he is so insanely jealous and knows he (and his bimbo) will never in a hundred years earn one tenth of the respect shown to the Obamas.
This is wonderful person by any standard, her wisdom and grace are quite extraordinary. She deserves all the love and respect she gets all over the world.
I loved that they felt they had to be careful as to how they carried themselves. They realized that their behavior was a reflection of our country. This is class at it’s finest and we will always love them for their flawless representation of The United States of America ❤️❤️🔥
or maybe they had to be more careful cause they knew that the 'wolves' waiting to eat them alive cause they were the first black couple in the White House...just saying
@@vassoanzaoui8530 No, because they grew up in America and they love America, they can't let the rest of the world despise America and Americans, they have tremendous respect for their country and her people, and thus have to carried themselves in a way that other countries would pay respect to America and Americans. It's not about race, it's about being a leader. Donald Trump has very little respect for Americans, why would he care about any Americans if he doesn't need their vote to win the election?
Hi Y'all, Every where Michelle goes, people are standing up and give her the loudest cheers and applause I've witnessed. She is receiving this because she is loved, respected and because she deserves it. Look at who she is - she is an American lawyer, university administrator and writer. She's intelligent. She's got great presence, she knows how to speak or present. She's funny, people just love her. She has at hart the American family, children, she is a great supporter of the military families and a lot of other topics. Like I said, she is loved by every one, and I am not talking only in the US. If her name appears as a presidential candidate, there is no doubt in my mind the she would easily win the election. If she does, her term or terms will be a great time of peace around the world and American prosperity. Please Mrs Michelle Obama, please consider entering the race and become the 46th president of the United States in 2020. If you would like Michelle Obama as President, please like my comment and add your encouragements and say why you think she should run. Let's show her that she is needed and wanted. Cheers!
As a german i have understandably not such a deep connection to Michelle Obama, but every time i listen to her i am very impressed and overwhelmed by the way she expresses herself. I think the world would be a much better place if she would run for office, but i really can understand why she thinks she has given enough of her lifetime for your country. What a loss for the future development of the world, that she probably won't. What an impressive woman.
I came here expecting the usual dumbass, rascist-fueled comments about Ms.Obama that I had to hear for almost a decade now. Thank you Sir, for your intelligent commentary.
@@rinolinda1850 IKR??? Like, remember that time Trump was walking around with toilet paper stuck to his shoe? That was so graceful. Or who could forget that time he shoved a PM of a foreign nation aside? That, was the epitome of grace.
I miss it too and I'm not even american... I never realised how important the US is to the rest of the world until this _thing_ happened and it shook me to the core.
@@fireballxl-5748 the late may she rest in peace COMEDIAN Joan Rivers? The queen of insults and scandalous jokes? Since when did her words become all holy and written in stone? Was she in the Obamas inner circle? Did she know them on a personal level? Had she been over there for sleepovers or something? If the answer to any of these questions is no then it amazes me that you would take something a comedian said as a running joke against people she probably didn't like anyway and believe her unsubstantiated words over actual proofs like birth certificates, baby pics and family photos. That shows just how miserable some people are and how far they will reach to believe and then to spread a lie. I will pray for people like you.
She is such an intelligent, educated, warmhearted, beautiful individual and true American lady. I honestly adore her as well as I miss her husband as commander in chief.
I was there when the Obamas were in Prague, it was his first public address in Europe. I was just a child then but I saw his speech front row and shook his hand, I'll never forget that day.
For 8 years I paid 0 attention to Michelle Obama, I just didn't take the position of First Lady serious. I now see how much I've missed out. Michelle is one of most thoughtful and intelligent people in the public eye right now.
I didn't/don't either. I was into how intelligent she is (same with all the first ladies I've known of) but I wasn't walking around with photos of her and passing out whenever she was somewhere. I don't think we missed out but it is good to have this sort of woman as the nation's first lady.
I did the same thing! I didn't pay much attention to her until now. It's crazy! I didn't dislike her I just didn't feel any different about her. Now I wish she could go back to the white house!! I love hearing her talk though! I guess I missed out on a lot.
@steve donahue - Seeing as nathalie j is French, English is probably her second, third or fourth language, so a typo or spelling mistake might occur and go unnoticed. Her message is understandable. How's your French?
There's nothing negative that can be said about this fantastic lady. All superlatives describing this wonderful personality would be grossly understated.
I'm just here near the end of 2019 trying to remember what a real first lady sounds like. What a classy first family, thank you so much for this Mr. Colbert
@Toori Baba seriously..why do you bother? LOSER troll...yOur "president" cant rub 2 brain cells together to figure out how to pay off a pornstar..lol..once trump is out ..sanity will be restored..
No, they were all talk, the Obama were centrists who let down the poor and killed people abroad, I know in America it's hardly about policy to you lot but you need to start paying attention. yes Trump is way worse but that not good enough, remember they led to Trump.
I got into politics with Trump. It was the first election I remember and the first president I saw give a speech. Now looking at this and some of Barack Obama’s speeches, I wonder what I missed.
sjewitt22 the poor have themselves to count on too not just the president. They also have their state government officials and local government officials to help them. There’s also social services and job training programs. I don’t mean to be rude but I want to know what else do you want? They already have free health care through Medicaid or Medicare, they already go to college for free. They get rental assistance and gas bill assistance, cash assistance checks, food stamps. What else do you want for them? If they want a better life and they know what to do. I’ve seen many many people in my city rise from poverty through hope and discipline.
I watched interviews with Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Jame Corden, but I must say, Stephen Colbert nailed this interview with the first lady so gracefully. He asked really great questions, and kept comedy and comfort at a great level. The band played excellent music, and as a final touch, the sweet gesture of Garrett's popcorn at the end (famous popcorn shop from Chicago, most likely what she grew up with). Well done! (also, I really don't understand how anyone on this planet would hate her...she's such an inspirational, graceful and amazing person!)
I get emotional when I see Michelle Obama. One if the most active, influential first ladies we've ever had. Her speeches made me cry: not just because they were powerful but her heart was behind every last word of them, 110%. I miss empathy, experience, intelligence, compassion, and humanity in the white house more than I have words to express.
@Elizabeth Hoover You said that during Trump’s term in office that you missed ~ Empathy ~ Intelligence ~ Compassion ~ Humanity and ~ Experience** ~Empathy ~ Trump had empathy for the American People, and members of the military and showed it often. ~ Intelligence ~ Trump is extremely intelligent, he understands how the economy works better than most economists, and he understands what parts of our foreign policy work and why and he understands what doesn’t work and why it doesn’t. To make trade deals with foreign countries, you need to understand how they conduct business, their culture and beliefs. Trump made new trade deals that were extremely fair to America and the other country(s). He was the first president in the last 100 years or so to be able to stop other countries (including allies) from taking advantage of America. ~ Compassion ~ Ask any parent that lost a child or a family that lost a military member who personally spoke to Trump (without cameras) if he is compassionate. They have said that he was very compassionate and listened intently when they were speaking about their family member. ~Humanity ~ Trump is the first president in 50 years or so that hasn’t started a war. ~ Experience ~ Trump didn’t have Political experience, which was a good thing. Damn near every politician is corrupt. Both political parties. They are elected to REPRESENT us, but somehow become Millionaires while in office. You may not like Trump, but if you honestly look at his policies and what they did for America and Americans you’d see that he was changing politics. The politicians in DC don’t want things to change, they want “politics as usual”. Congress proposes bills for certain industries that have lobbied them, they will then have a party or event to raise money. The politicians make money on these events. They put the bill on hold or kill it in committee and start the process all over again. This is the “political norm” in DC. They also send aid money to other countries and use NGO’s, but somehow some of that money makes it’s way back to certain politicians who supported the bill for aid. Trump was changing things that needed to be changed. Our government has seriously overstepped it’s authority and has become HUGE!!! That’s not what our Founding Fathers intended when they created our country and it goes against our Constitution. I’m Just Sayin
Michelle is the finest, gracious , most down to earth relatable First Lady in the history of the United States of America. Love and respect to Michelle 💓🇺🇲
I love how she thanks Colbert at the end. I love that Colbert has always been so supportive of the Obamas. He even broke character and teared up with happiness during the live election show with Jon Stewart in 2008 when it was announced that Barack Obama had won. It was beautiful. Michelle Obama is such a class act. I'm delighted her book is doing so well.
seriously i do not have patience to listen to talk show guests however I loved listening to her. very special people the Obamas honestly they speak from the heart - they're real. God Bless
this made me tear up, I want her to know she has already brought so much hope to young people. Growing up with her as the First Lady has shaped the course of my life because of the portrait she painted of a woman that I wanted to be. So graceful, so poised, and always knowing the right thing to say in the classiest way possible. Forever my First Lady.
invaluable legacy left by Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Chekhov, you name them. It's Russian spirit. To be so quick and bold in your judgement you have at least first off see and talk to ordinary genuine country fellows. You might be surprised how far you are from the truth. Keep safe!

I Swear If Michelle Obama ever ran for President I'd not only vote for her I'd campaign for her....that's a one of only offer. Thank you for all your grace and wisdom while you've been sharing with the public Mrs. Obama....I Love you. Lynn No Name Muskogee Creek Native.
It's been years since they left the House, but people still came to their videos to get some positivity to survive the current horrible administration.
It's a nice sanity reset from a lot that's going on today.
Yes, love this beautiful, loving family. ♥️
You are so right. Everytime I feel hopeless I just pull up Barack or Michelle!
@@sheridenney7405 yes!!
Yup. That's why I'm watching again.

Michelle, I finally read Becoming last month and I thought it was fantastic. I've been a voracious reader for most of my life but never really got into memoirs. I think you've changed my mind on that. Becoming was a truly enjoyable read. Thank you for it.

100% same here
She seems to be naturally charming and gracious.
@Toori Baba you are so angry at yourself
Toori Baba: Yes, he is charming and gracieus too, Stephen always is!
S F That is because she is. 😆
Toori Baba Yes, Stephen is always gracious.
S F , seems to be ? Honey she is, what has the Republicans put in place of decency and intelligence ? Well need I point out the obvious low level we now have in the White House ?
Dude, that woman should be our president. I mean come on.... this woman is miles beyond, well others
I love her personality
She would win if she run. 🙏🏼
we're all thinking it
Damn right buddy
She would rather take poison.
I know it's a detail but I always notice how when Michelle talks about the time in the White House she says "we". We did, we went we thought. Melania says he. He does, the goes, he thinks. She doesn't want to be involved or do anything or have opinios. The Obamas were a team, I have no idea what the Dumps are supposed to be.
Where is 1000 thumbs up to push! I totally agree with you on that!!
A sugar daddy and his short-term fling gone wrong. You know if he had not become president, Donnie would have upgraded Melania by now right? He doesn't do "old" women. Melania is nearly 50 now and by his standards she is past it.

A class act. Without a doubt eloquent, intelligent and fully engaging. The USA is missing out by not having her as a First Lady representing them. Michelle is so much more than the current first wife. Her work has already left a legacy.

@@tiffanystocks1943
You’re hating lol, it sucks to be miserable.
@@ndjibukabengele973 ngl you are hilarious
Wow, when Michelle spoke about 'hating from a distance' it choked me up because I remember my own experience. Many years ago my husband was stationed at Ft. Drum but we lived 32 miles away in a little town where Black people were only seen because of the military and the prison. It was harder than I ever imagined because for the first time in my life I met people that weren't afraid to show me how racist they really were. And of course I had to pretend not to see or hear it because taking in hate hurts just like spewing it on others does.
But one day a friend of mine came to me and said, "I need you and your family to come to my home. You see my father is very racist and I need him to see what Black people are really like." Talk about feeling like I needed a moment! Despite my misgivings and my fear we went. And to my surprise it was indeed one of the best experiences I had in that town. Although I was aware of the challenge I was also aware of the opportunity we were given to show one person that our differences weren't really about our colors but about the fact that we never took the time to get to know one another face to face.
(And sometime afterwards my friend told me what happened after we left. She said her father didn't expect to like us so much. I understood exactly how he felt. I didn't expect to like him either. Funny what happens when people stop being labels and start being humans.)
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience. I feel better now.
Amazing
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thanks for sharing your story, and thank you for having an open heart and mind to what could have turned out badly, but didn't. This is so true, that hatred is much easier from a distance. I live in a small rural community that is mostly white, retirement age republicans. One young man is married to an hispanic woman and they have an adorable son. They are well-liked in the community, but very few know that she is an undocumented migrant because she came here with her Mom and siblings when she was a toddler. Her brother was deported last year, leaving behind a wife and children who are US citizens. They are not criminals, they are hard workers. They have applied for citizenship, but it's not a simple process and takes years. I know many neighbors who hate "illegals" and talk about the Central American and Mexican migrants like they are cockroaches. I wonder how many would have a change of heart if they knew their lovely, kind neighbor who is always willing to help others is "one of those illegals".
sistakia33, what a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing. This should go viral!
The combination of Michelle Obama and Stephen Colbert - these two together are gold.
Shall I explain the real reason the astronaut doesn't remember being on the moon?
Andre Stewart what does that pertain to this statement? Additionally, the concept of remembering casual experiences when engaging in high stress situations in which actions must be incremental produces an obscure sense of memory. Vietnam vets can’t tell you how the beautiful scenery was, because the effect of stress of memory.

I find myself binge watching All her interviews for inspiration. She a national treasure!!
What a pleasure to watch. Barack and Michelle blew us away with their class, intelligence, authenticity, poise and hope for a better world. Thank you for leaving a strong impact and legacy and for showing the world what leading with integrity looks like.
@Gursimran Dodd Thank you for your thoughts. Obama was the first President I voted for back in 2008 and we really did take him for granted. He showed the world the good that was America. Sadly Trump is showing the bad that is also found in America and we find ourselves fighting for the soul of this nation. Thankfully the last election was a rebuke of the Nationalistic bigotry and we hope that 2020 will be yet another rebuke and we will get a sane president again like Obama.
They were so good we thought there was no way we could find ourselves here now. But they are good enough still to show us that we can recover.

It was nice having leaders who were self-aware, conscientious, and careful. People who actually tried. Oh, and who could speak in coherent English.
or maybe they had to be more careful cause they knew that the 'wolves' waiting to eat them alive cause they were the first black couple in the White House...just saying
@@vassoanzaoui8530 No, because they grew up in America and they love America, they can't let the rest of the world despise America and Americans, they have tremendous respect for their country and her people, and thus have to carried themselves in a way that other countries would pay respect to America and Americans. It's not about race, it's about being a leader. Donald Trump has very little respect for Americans, why would he care about any Americans if he doesn't need their vote to win the election?

She is a very wise and intelligent person.
Hi Y'all,
Every where Michelle goes, people are standing up and give her the loudest cheers and applause I've witnessed. She is receiving
this because she is loved, respected and because she deserves it.
Look at who she is - she is an American lawyer, university administrator and writer. She's intelligent. She's got great presence, she knows how to speak or present. She's funny, people just love her. She has at hart the American family, children, she is a great supporter of the military families and a lot of other topics.
Like I said, she is loved by every one, and I am not talking only in the US.
If her name appears as a presidential candidate, there is no doubt in my mind the she would easily win the election. If she does, her term or terms will be a great time of peace around the world and American prosperity.
Please Mrs Michelle Obama, please consider entering the race and become the 46th president of the United States in 2020.
If you would like Michelle Obama as President, please like my comment and add your encouragements and say why you think she should run.
Let's show her that she is needed and wanted.
Cheers!
No. We don't deserve her. And she does not deserve to be involved with this shitstorm.

If the answer to any of these questions is no then it amazes me that you would take something a comedian said as a running joke against people she probably didn't like anyway and believe her unsubstantiated words over actual proofs like birth certificates, baby pics and family photos. That shows just how miserable some people are and how far they will reach to believe and then to spread a lie. I will pray for people like you.

For 8 years I paid 0 attention to Michelle Obama, I just didn't take the position of First Lady serious. I now see how much I've missed out. Michelle is one of most thoughtful and intelligent people in the public eye right now.
I didn't/don't either. I was into how intelligent she is (same with all the first ladies I've known of) but I wasn't walking around with photos of her and passing out whenever she was somewhere. I don't think we missed out but it is good to have this sort of woman as the nation's first lady.
Right?? It's like how you only really appreciate your mom after you leave the house.
I did the same thing! I didn't pay much attention to her until now. It's crazy! I didn't dislike her I just didn't feel any different about her. Now I wish she could go back to the white house!! I love hearing her talk though! I guess I missed out on a lot.

No, they were all talk, the Obama were centrists who let down the poor and killed people abroad, I know in America it's hardly about policy to you lot but you need to start paying attention. yes Trump is way worse but that not good enough, remember they led to Trump.
I got into politics with Trump. It was the first election I remember and the first president I saw give a speech. Now looking at this and some of Barack Obama’s speeches, I wonder what I missed.
sjewitt22 the poor have themselves to count on too not just the president. They also have their state government officials and local government officials to help them. There’s also social services and job training programs. I don’t mean to be rude but I want to know what else do you want? They already have free health care through Medicaid or Medicare, they already go to college for free. They get rental assistance and gas bill assistance, cash assistance checks, food stamps. What else do you want for them? If they want a better life and they know what to do. I’ve seen many many people in my city rise from poverty through hope and discipline.
A woman of grace, intelligence, humor, and yes, beauty
I watched interviews with Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Jame Corden, but I must say, Stephen Colbert nailed this interview with the first lady so gracefully. He asked really great questions, and kept comedy and comfort at a great level. The band played excellent music, and as a final touch, the sweet gesture of Garrett's popcorn at the end (famous popcorn shop from Chicago, most likely what she grew up with). Well done! (also, I really don't understand how anyone on this planet would hate her...she's such an inspirational, graceful and amazing person!)

I get emotional when I see Michelle Obama. One if the most active, influential first ladies we've ever had. Her speeches made me cry: not just because they were powerful but her heart was behind every last word of them, 110%. I miss empathy, experience, intelligence, compassion, and humanity in the white house more than I have words to express.
@Elizabeth Hoover
You said that during Trump’s term in office that you missed
~ Empathy
~ Intelligence
~ Compassion
~ Humanity and
~ Experience**
~Empathy ~ Trump had empathy for the American People, and members of the military and showed it often.
~ Intelligence ~ Trump is extremely intelligent, he understands how the economy works better than most economists, and he understands what parts of our foreign policy work and why and he understands what doesn’t work and why it doesn’t. To make trade deals with foreign countries, you need to understand how they conduct business, their culture and beliefs. Trump made new trade deals that were extremely fair to America and the other country(s). He was the first president in the last 100 years or so to be able to stop other countries (including allies) from taking advantage of America.
~ Compassion ~ Ask any parent that lost a child or a family that lost a military member who personally spoke to Trump (without cameras) if he is compassionate.
They have said that he was very compassionate and listened intently when they were speaking about their family member.
~Humanity ~ Trump is the first president in 50 years or so that hasn’t started a war.
~ Experience ~ Trump didn’t have Political experience, which was a good thing. Damn near every politician is corrupt.
Both political parties.
They are elected to REPRESENT us, but somehow become Millionaires while in office.
You may not like Trump, but if you honestly look at his policies and what they did for America and Americans you’d see that he was changing politics.
The politicians in DC don’t want things to change, they want “politics as usual”.
Congress proposes bills for certain industries that have lobbied them, they will then have a party or event to raise money. The politicians make money on these events. They put the bill on hold or kill it in committee and start the process all over again. This is the “political norm” in DC.
They also send aid money to other countries and use NGO’s, but somehow some of that money makes it’s way back to certain politicians who supported the bill for aid.
Trump was changing things that needed to be changed.
Our government has seriously overstepped it’s authority and has become HUGE!!!
That’s not what our Founding Fathers intended when they created our country and it goes against our Constitution.
I’m Just Sayin
I miss that too. It's been a rough last couple years since Biden took office.
I’m not even American and I wanna cry because she’s is not the first lady anymore 😭
Big Mikey has never been a fist lady.
@@jannetjejo-7855 What is a fist lady?
@@ferox965 I will tell you when you are older
But Melenia is so wonderful...I just love her kind spirit.
Well thank God you aren't American, so you can't vote here!
Michelle is the finest, gracious , most down to earth relatable First Lady in the history of the United States of America.
Love and respect to Michelle 💓🇺🇲
I love how she thanks Colbert at the end. I love that Colbert has always been so supportive of the Obamas. He even broke character and teared up with happiness during the live election show with Jon Stewart in 2008 when it was announced that Barack Obama had won. It was beautiful. Michelle Obama is such a class act. I'm delighted her book is doing so well.
Even Baptiste's reaction to her was adorable
I could listen to these two talk for hours. Wonderful conversation.
Good interview chemistry.
Mee too its sooo lovely
Me too.I just keep coming back to rewatch this once in a while. True leadership with intelligence.
She embodies the way to defeating trump. This dignified, informed and poised optimism is the truth despite how people feel.
Imagine Trump and Michele as a team....
Such a class act! The Obama’s are incredible people 🥰
seriously i do not have patience to listen to talk show guests however I loved listening to her. very special people the Obamas honestly they speak from the heart - they're real. God Bless
this made me tear up, I want her to know she has already brought so much hope to young people. Growing up with her as the First Lady has shaped the course of my life because of the portrait she painted of a woman that I wanted to be. So graceful, so poised, and always knowing the right thing to say in the classiest way possible. Forever my First Lady.
Toori Baba Shut up
Michelle Obama. you are respected all over the world.
You can not speak for the whole world.

@@joosttijsen3559 Russia isn't at all about Putin or Navalniy, but about its people, its mind you.
invaluable legacy left by Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Chekhov, you name them. It's Russian spirit. To be so quick and bold in your judgement you have at least first off see and talk to ordinary genuine country fellows. You might be surprised how far you are from the truth.
Keep safe!
