Michelle Obama had nothing nice to say about women who voted for President Trump in the 2016 election. Mrs. Obama was a guest speaker at the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Obama blamed women for electing President Trump and she is still convinced that Hillary Clinton was the best candidate.
“In light of this last election, I’m concerned about us, as women, and what we think about ourselves and about each other,” Obama told host Tracee Ellis Ross. “What is going on in our heads where we let that happen. So I do wonder what are young girls dreaming about, if we’re still there?”
Obama continued, “When the most qualified person running was a woman and look what we did instead, I mean, that says something about where we are, if we as women are still suspicious of one another, if we still have this crazy, crazy bar that we don’t have for men … if we’re not comfortable with the notion that a woman could be our president, compared to what?”
Obama said no one president can fix the racial divide in this country.
“Barack’s presidency didn’t fix racism. We need to stop looking for a savior,” she said.
She also confirmed she will not run for president in 2020.
“That’s not the answer either,” she said. “When I hear people say ‘you run,’ it’s part of the problem. We still didn’t get ‘Yes, we can’ right. It’s not, ‘Yes, you can,’ it’s ‘Yes, we can.’ And until we get that right, it doesn’t matter who runs.”
“Looking for the next person to run … that’s been our distraction,” she said, adding it would take a collective effort to address the audience’s concerns about the country.

Well she didn’t lie. That’s why all these me too movements have popped up its in response to the guilt.
She is such a divisive woman. She is always playing identity politics with her fake self.
I’m sick of her and Barry Sotero.
You really reaching to make her look like a ANGRY BLACK WOMEN huh….
So females should have voted for Hillary even if they thought she wasn’t a good candidate? Her response was confusing.
Consign everything but barracuda mouth lol
Someone point me to the lash?
That was a fair and honest questions.
Especially after “Grab em by the pussy” gate.
Michelle, stop it. Yall gonna lose again if you keep blaming the people for the results of the election.
Well between Trump and Hillary, yes she was the more qualified candidate but by no means should she have been running as the democratic candidate to begin with and this is the result of her selfish ego. I always figured women who voted for Trump were attracted to his boorish behavior because that’s how they get talked to in their lives by men anyway, they had no issue with what a pig he was because they are used to it.
Have not read it yet. But, if she did lash out, GOOD. He does not hold his tongue. And no matter what, she will say it in a mature manner.
Yeah women should have just ignored Trump’s grab’ em by the puzzy comment.
So you’re ok with Trump’s grab’em by the puzzy comment?
Fifty-three percent of white women voted their race over gender and millions of black women who voted for Obama stayed home.
That was the difference in the election.
I think Joe Biden should have cut the sh*t, went against the Clintons and run. I liked Bernie the most too but way too many people were skiddish about him being an supposed “socialist” it was ridiculous. Dems should have been looking to do whatever it took to stop Trump no matter how powerful the Clintons are because look at what the hell happened.
Reprobate women are comfortable with all his gross little comments, they are the “boys will be boys” type. It’s quite sad.
Michelle is such a beautiful woman… . got nothing else
she is not one of them Chile SMH. . …
Say what you want. I’d rather have Hillary in the office than the peach colored racist fool who’s there now.
Ok. I prayed and asked God how Donnie got elected into office.
HE told me that Donnie is seen as a Strong wht man, that tells it like it IS.
He is there Louis Farrakhan.
Honestly all of these politicians are full of BS. Trump is a POS but Obama did nothing for his people. They are all looking out for self…
I would have REALLY enjoyed this interview with Michelle Obama with a TOTALLY different interviewer.
Also the comments on the Fox Network app during this interview was the MOST hatred comments I’ve EVER read toward a former First Lady in my LIFETIME. I never knew she was that hated like that before.It was HORRIBLE the things they were saying about her.
Because Hillary sucks.
And the trolls will be in here whining about liberals in 5…4…3…2…
Always whining and complaining. I just can’t imagine going through life like that. *shrug*
Women did ignore it. That’s why he’s in office.
I wonder how many are actually russians..
She told no lies…a lot of women turned their backs on Hilary…it was very disappointing to me as an educated woman…many of my friends did not even vote…which was part of the problem as well
Why are people asking these dumb ass questions. We all know the majority of the people that voted for Trump are racist. I wish we stop beating around the bushes and tell the damn truth. All this tettet tattering and shyt.
Liberals always trying to be political correct is why they lost. In order to get power you have to TAKE it, not ask sit around and hope it falls in your lap.
I think she glosses over the fact that Hillary got caught RED HANDED stealing the primary election from Bernie Sanders. At some point, the Dems, particularly those in leadership, need to be accountable for the fact that they tried to ram an utterly noxious candidate down people’s throats. Combine that with the clear dishonorable behavior towards a worthy rival and no wonder Trump won. Trust me, he was as surprised as everyone else. The Dems will stay losing until they can own their shit and stop blaming everyone else..
All politicians are crooked on different levels. The end.
I do not like Joan Clayton’s outfit.
Nahh, I think most of them are just rednecks from here in the U.S.A. hiding behind stock photos of black folks.
Did you call her Joan Clayton Girlfriends.. I love it. Hehehehe
Agree Ryan
YAWN! Nobody likes Hillary, get over it! Damn!
When they go low we go High..? Fldont no one care about them trust me.. it’s easy to hate. Once again no one cares about them.
Where’s the lie?
I sure did….she’ll always be Joan Clayton to me
Hillary got caught RED HANDED stealing the primary election from Bernie Sanders
This is the part that pisses me off about the last election more than ANYTHING else. How dare they sabotage/cheat to get HRC a win. It was disgusting, and I haven’t really liked the DNC since then.
Maaan you took the words out my out! This part “I’m concerned about us, as women, and what we think about ourselves and about each other,”
Hillary sucked?
So you voted personality over policy?
Trump didn’t suck more?
Grab’em by the kit kat?
Women who have abortions should be punished.
Politicians are the most self-serving civil servants, nothing new! Many are crooks because the money-grab comes so easily!
Hillary came with baggage, her husband did the black community a great injustice with helping to form mandatory sentencing laws for his reelection, her own foreign policy issues for those who were looking for something,
But, SHE STILL WAS THE MOST QUALIFIED, in terms of political self-servers!
We’re CAPITALISTS, being liberals or conservatives is a non-factor, that’s for dumbed down Americans!
So get on your money grind or stay on it, this is what matters most in this country!
I know that.
The question is any self-respecting woman ignore his blatant disrespect for women? especially his wife?
She’s not spitting truth because she could care less about Blacks.
I believe old girl is from Chicago but I haven’t heard her say a thing about the plight of Chiraq.
She’s race pimping like the rest. She knows there is no money in the unification of Blacks. Many Blacks on the political left can’t see who she and the Democratic pimps & pimptresses really are because of their slave mentality.
How did Hillary ‘steal’ the primary from Bernie?
LMAO @ your ignorance.Hillary was a dear friend to a KKK Grand Dragon Wizard. She admired numerous racists including Margaret Sanger who created Planned Parenthood to exterminate Blacks.I could name more but,What’s the point? Sheeple like yourself will just excuse it,because she’s a Democrat.
You sheeple are so stupid and I mean stupid. You’re always calling people racist, because your leaders tell you they are racist.
You are lost and will never be found…I thank God that I am amongst the few Blacks who God allowed to be free from the wilderness.
Nuff said.. ..
Stupid people voted a stupid president in office. They will suffer for it.
Apparently you was talking to Satan. He is the dumbest white man I’ve ever seen. And he’s weak AF because he knows nothing of the Truth. Strong men are HONEST.
Branch Davidian hmmm
I honestly know how they feel because I hate that dumb MF in the WH in the very same way them crackers hate/hated the Obamas.
Thank you
You know what, you and that Elevated Soul sound like two fuckin idiots. Y’all love saying Obama didn’t do this and that, but then say why don’t MO advise blacks to come together?…..Don’t black folk already know this shat by now?. Y’all expect Barack and Michelle Obama to have all the damn answers but you stick up for a racist in the WH who can’t read or utter a coherent sentence and wouldn’t spit on ya azz if it was on fire.
What a c00n The Clinton’s put millions of blk men in jail and destroyed many lives yet she still capping for that h0e…smdh
How many of our people in 3 jail for that 3 strikes law right now?
She’s a walking contradiction. Urge people to vote and then complain about who they choose to vote for. I love my President. Life is good and he’s concerned with more than gay marriage. She’ was one of the most lame and useless First Ladies in history.
She messed up the school lunches and took many trips however in designer duds for 8 years.
Let’s not forget she had the debate questions handed to her. Lazy bish!
Do they speak on Pizzagate?
Come on now. Google it.
haaaaa
Hillary is not owed a win…
Hillary was the worst choice and that’s why she lost.
Not on the agenda sis.
no, I voted policy over vagina. I agreed with Trump’s policy positions much more than Hillary’s.
They didn’t even acknowledge Chicago until they won the World Series.
Slowly but surely, they’re fading away.
doesn’t matter. do you want to win or not? because voters don’t care about grab em by the pussy comments, no matter how much as you would like to force us to care.
We see the White House model in designer duds everytime we see her and she hasn’t contributed anything yet.
I didn’t say she was…I simply agreed with Michelle she was the best qualified candidate
Bih, suck the orange dick you love so much dummy.
It is what it is.
Yeah…I know now that you see the comparison.
——-
U cannot be a black woman….so why you in here perpetrating with that gravi
Indeed….She hate America just like her hubby and Reggie Love’s boyfriend does.
Are you black?
Did you pay attention to Trump’s so called voter fraud commission and how they want to purge blacks from the voter’s rolls by using last names claiming that people are registered in more than one state?
Are you ok with restarting the War on Drugs which will adversely impact black men?
Are you ok with Trump hiring a NSA who wants to go to war with Iran?
I bet you didn’t know any of Trump’s policies beyond MAGA which is really Make America White Again.
You’ve been conned.

Your turn is coming.
MAGA##
White women let that happen honey! White women…over 56 %
Your president is a walking contradiction and a racist buffoon
One would think our only black first lady would have at least a comment on the RECORD LOW black unemployment under President Trump:
“The unemployment rate is now 3.9 percent for all Americans, the lowest level since 2000, while the jobless rate for black workers is 6.6 percent, the LOWEST FIGURE SINCE RECORD KEEPING BEGAN IN THE EARLY 1970s. …”
amp/www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-jobs-trump-unemployment-illinois-20180507-story,amp.html
Instead, all she can do is chastise women for not voting for a woman who paid nearly $400,000 to silence the woman that her husband sexually assaulted. Priorities Michelle, priorities.
He’s the “racist”, yet HILLARY is the one who called black men “super predators” and compared them to rabid dogs who had to be ” brought to heel.”
Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Few blacks know how destructive Clinton’s 1994 Crime Bill was to millions of black families. In addition to the 3 strikes law, the bill ( which Hillary fully promoted):
1. Stripped all Pell Grant funding for college education for prisoners, and
2. Included a “one strike, you’re out” policy for evicting public housing tenants if they or their guests were involved in any criminal activity, causing a jump in evictions and making it more difficult for former inmates to find housing.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36020717
And every black democrat is STILL kissing Hillary’s ass. Why???
That’ll be white women honey. They put him there
Of course she’s going to tell people to go out and vote regardless, but with her beliefs she would want people to vote for the people she likes. And vice versa. Same way you would encourage people to vote but because from the sounds of you, you like trump and people voted Obama you’d feel a way because in your heart that’s not the outcome you wanted
The same could be said of him and the women that voted his husband into the white house…
What Debbie Wasserman Schultz did to Bernie was despicable.
Michelle’s legs… I just wanna :::connection lost:::
Sanders supporters even sued the DNC in a federal class action for rigging the primaries. Although the suit was ultimately dismissed because the court lacked authority to intervene on the matters pled, the judge nevertheless stated that rigging DID occur:
“In evaluating Plaintiffs’ claims at this stage, the Court assumes their allegations are true—that the DNC and Wasserman Schultz held a palpable bias in favor of Clinton and sought to propel her ahead of her Democratic opponent,”
The court further stated:
“For their part, the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts.”
Unbelievable. The DNC essentially argued they were under no obligation to be unbiased.
Harry Reid also admitted to the rigging, stating:
“I knew—everybody knew—that this was not a fair deal.” He added that Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have resigned much sooner than she did.”
amp/observer.com/2017/08/court-admits-dnc-and-debbie-wasserman-schulz-rigged-primaries-against-sanders/amp/
In short, the Clintons did what they’ve always done — cheated.
And a big problem with that claim is that those rates had been falling for long before Trump took office, and their declines don’t appear to have picked up speed. This implies that there’s nothing specific that Trump did to change this rate.
Indeed, both of these rates have been falling relatively steadily since around 2010, early in President Obama’s tenure in the White House.
So have the unemployment rates for all races and ethnic groups tracked by the Labor Department. In general, these unemployment rates tend to move together. So while Trump called out the African-American and Hispanic unemployment rates, they haven’t changed in any remarkable way, relative to other groups’ unemployment rates.
Yeah and he led a witch hunt that got black men locked up he will forever be a clown and a racist for that one.
Yes I’m black and an immigrant. I don’t think Hillary would have been better for us.
what do those links have to do with me? You think racism started with Trump? How many police shootings did we have with Obama in office? How is this relevant? Lol I don’t live my life in fear of anyone.
I remember when she HATED Hillary ,though.
and….she HATED Hillary … she must be just talking at these events to grab that cash.
Obama speaks truth! Obama was elected and black people thought he was the Messiah….:) LMAO. Black people thought the jobs would roll into their communities and god knows what else. No one President can make wealth come into your community. Did it ever occur to Black people that those blacks that are wealthy and CAN MOVE out of the ghetto — DO! Look around! How many wealthy black people live in the ghetto???? How many of them are bringing businesses to the ghetto????
Allegedly hated Hillary.
“Indeed, both of these rates have been falling relatively steadily since around 2010, early in President Obama’s tenure in the White House.”

This is the lie the liberal media would have you believe, but when it comes to black unemployment, nothing could be further from the truth. (Please bear with me)
When Obama took office in Jan 2009, black unemployment was at 12.7. It then climbed drastically during his first year, reaching 16.1 by Dec. 2009.
In his second year, he continued to drive black unemployment up to a frightening high of 16.8 in Mar 2010. Although it was down to 15.5 by Dec 2010, it rose again to 16.5 by Apr. 2011 and was at 16.4 as late as Aug 2011. So in his third year, we were still nearly FOUR points HIGHER than when he took office.
While running for re-election in Oct of 2012, he kept bragging about how he had drastically brought unemployment down.
But while WHITE unemployment had fallen, black unemployment was at 14.1 in Oct 2012, nearly TWO points HIGHER than when he took office, a fact which he conveniently ignored.
And therein lies the reason for my antipathy for Obama. He used blacks to his advantage. He knew most blacks don’t read Table 2 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so he could tell them anything. The entire democratic party relies on what they believe is the “collective ignorance” of black voters.
Black unemployment continued to hover between high 13s and low 14s until we finally got back to 12.6 in July 2013. So it took him FIVE years to get black people back to square one, exactly where they were on the day he first set foot in the White House. He had made ZERO economic progress for black folks.
Blacks finally got down to 11.9 in December of 2013 and didn’t hit 7.9 until the last two months of Obama’s reign of economic terror ( Nov and Dec of 2016).
But we have never, in history, had black unemployment anywhere NEAR the 6.6 we currently enjoy under President Trump. Any other race of people would be happy about that, but blacks have been brainwashed to simply repeat whatever the liberal media feeds them.
Here is the BLS chart documenting the numbers I’ve referenced.
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006
Because they sellouts.
Nice post
Most black people are socially conservative. A lot of black people think like joy Reid and Obama gave gays too much and not enough to us. ????
We dont love the right wing either.. No love for anyone who doesn’t love us.
Bernie was but she cheated him out of an opportunity..
Clinton’s are the enemy
But she carries hot sauce in her purse she loves us, right? ?
So you don’t care about actual policies.
Got it!!
Thank you. I’ve written extensively about black unemployment.
It’s critical that our people learn to view life through an ECONOMIC prism. It is completely irrelevant whether someone “likes” blacks or not. (Democrats claim to love us to death, yet they have worked tirelessly to keep blacks begging for welfare and free phones).
All that matters is who creates an economic climate that will allow us to create or OWN prosperity. Right now, Trump is doing just that.
Who knows? She probably still dislikes Hillary. She acknowledges that Hilary was the best candidate for presidency, and I have to agree.
Michelle needs some training in etiquette. Focus 1 Stop bashing other women for your own benefit, Focus 2 represent yourself as an intelligent and forward thinking woman, Focus 3 ah-h-h forget it!
Michelle needs to be addressing that question to a room full of white women.
She came here to Minnesota in 2012 and quietly snuck in and gave the Somalian community multi millions of dollars and quietly snuck out. The media tried to keep it hush hush but the story got out. She’s fake.
Yeah. That’s what I said. God did not place him in office. Racism placed him in office.
“When Obama took office in Jan 2009, black unemployment was at 12.7. It then climbed drastically during his first year, reaching 16.1 by Dec. 2009.- he inherited George bush mess nice try but Trump and his silly clown supporters have 2 more years of this farce enjoy it champ.!
“Black unemployment rate hit record low in April, in part because some have stopped looking” -???please stop this is sad that people do not read and run with foolishness you have no idea what you are talking about Trump has not created any legislation that increased job creation. lol
Obama said no one president can fix the racial divide in this country.
“Barack’s presidency didn’t fix racism. We need to stop looking for a savior,” she said.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#truth
lmao!!!!!
You are conveniently ignoring a litany of subsequent years there, my brother. Lol
During the last year of Bush’s term, we still had SINGLE DIGIT black unemployment (8.4 in Feb and 8.6 in Apr). They rose higher during Bush’s last six months (in the 10s and 11s) and finally hit 12.1 in December. So Obama never inherited anywhere NEAR the 16+ black unemployment that he managed to subject blacks to in only a few months
.
Even if you want to use the “inheritance argument, how long does he get to lean on that crutch? He was still subjecting his own people to 16.4 unemployment a full THREE years after taking office. How long does he get to cry Daddy Bush?
Obama ran on a promise to make things BETTER for all Americans. Funny, I assumed blacks were included in that equation.
The truth is, Obama didn’t care about black unemployment. He never once mentioned it during his reelection campaign, yet constantly touted the drop in WHITE unemployment. He knew blacks would blindly support him, even to their own economic detriment. That’s NOT a good thing.
Using the naivete of your own people is NOT a good thing. Focusing on the needs of your white supporters, your Gay supporters and your Trans supporters, while ignoring the economic position of blacks, your most LOYAL supporters, is not a good thing.
By the way, it’s hard to view the lowest black and hispanic unemployment in HISTORY as a “farce.” Why doesn’t the historic improvement in the lives of working black people matter to you?
Co-sign!! The president cannot make moves without congress’ approval. I am not sure what all people expected Obama to do. Oy!
yes I do. stop being childish.
LOL….Indeed she “loves” us.
We started out on a respectful note, so I’m not sure why you are angry. I guess you sink to a dark place when proven wrong (poor thing).
You initially stated that black unemployment had been “falling relatively steadily since around 2010, early in President Obama’s tenure in the White House.” THAT’S WHAT YOU WROTE.
I posted the federal numbers from the BLS that proved you WRONG. (as high as 16.8 in 2010, 16.5 in 2011, 14.1 in 2012, 14.2 in 2013, etc.)
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006
If you think those numbers represent “steadily FALLING” from the 12.7 that Obama STARTED with, then you desperately need a course in basic math.
Again, why the anger? You made an incorrect assertion and I corrected you. With FACTS. Frankly, you should be thanking me for imparting my wisdom to you. You’re welcome.
Do you prefer blacks have
16.8 unemployment under Obama , rather than the HISTORICALLY LOW 6.6 unemployment under Trump??Why would you WANT black men to be unable to work and provide for their families just because you don’t like Trump? What a juvenile thought process.
And here’s a little secret for you. The huge CORPORATE TAX CUT initiated by Trump, along with his dedication to bringing jobs back to the manufacturing sector (See Bloomberg)
amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/view/articles/2018-03-09/manufacturing-keeps-adding-jobs-amid-trump-s-tough-talk
have had and will continue to have a huge impact on job growth. But don”t worry. If white democrats have their way, they’ll have millions of blacks back on their knees begging for handouts and free phones ads soon as blacks are dumb enough to vote them back into office. Black unemployment will shoot right back up to Obama levels. Will that make you happy?
By the way, my law degree is from NYU School of Law, I am a consummate researcher and writer, and you will NEVER win an argument with me unless you come with FACTS. I have documented EVERY statement with supporting facts. You should try it sometimes. Or do you prefer to rely on anger and emotionalism?
JACKASS
You can’t possibly think Michelle is more useless than Melania “Freeze face” Trump. Be serious. Donald Trump doesn’t even make sense. You might as well have voted for Flavor Flav.
Angry??
So by your logic this is all Trump? get your moneyback from nyu
Exactly.
Truth is Trump got elected because a slew of democrats both black and white secretly voted for him.
People talked woman president this and woman president that but generations of internalized sexism stopped people short of making a woman president.
All the scandals around Hilary were people looking for and needing an excuse to not vote for a woman instead of straight up admitting they weren’t ready for a woman president.
This two faced country lead Hilary on knowing daggone well all along they didn’t want a woman for president. That’s why she was broken hearted because she was gassed up and mislead.
But her ego got in the way of strategy. She should have run as Bernie Sanders VP and they would be in the white house today. First woman VP would have still been a historical first.
SPEAK!
Hilary’s ego in the way of strategy.
Interesting.
yes no one remembers the laws Clinton put in place doubling jail time for many black men. Meek Mill’s legal troubles is a direct result of Clinton’s laws. WOW and we’re suppose to vote for his wife. She failed as secretary of state.
Ya live ya learn. Vote for who ya want! Don’t be INFLUENCED BE INFORMED!. If ya don’t believe, don’t assume! What do you do if your don’t believe in NEITHER CANDIDATE? Continue to live your life, be responsible and productive. HONESTLY I DIDN’T VOTE FOR NEITHER ONE OF THEM MUFUGGAS CAUSE IM NO FOLLOWER AND I KNOW WHATS BEST FOR ME! IM NOT SYSTEMATICALLY PROGRAMMED. FOH… why ain’t Nan of these so called “FOR THE PEOPLE LEADERS” …. Y’all no what fuc it I’m good… Ain’t got time for these BULLSHYT Rich folks and they CLIQUES!
Forever my FLOTUS!!!! elegant and intelligent!! Tracee is stunning as well!! Loved her since Girlfriends.
@88
Woooow did you really just call her a coon though? Smh. Super disrespectful. Name one presidency where mass incarceration of black men hasn’t been an issue?! Shyts been going on since the days of the bounty hunters/runaway slave finders (which was the beginning of American policing) and heightened alarmingly during and post Richard Nixon’s “war on drugs”. Would you not agree that America profitited greatly off of the slave trade and free labor? Would you not agree that the 13th Amendment allows for a “loophole” /clause pertaining to persons convicted of a crime/incarcerated? So can you not see the financial benefit in ensuring reduced price labor by way of mass incarceration? Read THE NEW JIM CROW by MICHELLE ALEXANDER. Either way, you can voice your opinion without being disrespectful, demeaning and referring to the former FLOTUS as a coon smh.
Hmmm Okay the Democratic party must be doing bad if they are getting the Obamas back out to try to rally all the people interests in the Democratic party.
I like Michelle but she political when she was in the white house the former first lady she was muted on day to day politics and went more vocal on being healthy, exercise and eating and planting a garden.
Hillary always carries a bottle of hot sauce in her purse. ?
