Night before Trump’s inauguration was ‘very emotional’: Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama in an interview Saturday evening said the night before President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017 was “very emotional.”
"The truth is, on that day I was moving my children out of the only house they had really grown up in,” the former first lady told Gayle King of CBS News at the Essence Festival in New Orleans. “I think that gets lost on people.”
She said she was rushing to get her daughters and their friends out of the White House after they’d had a sleepover the night before the inauguration.
“The girls didn't get up,” she explained. “They're all crying and they have their teddy bears and they're moving slow and I'm like, 'You've got to get up and get out of this house.' And I don't know where these kids are going, but they had to get up and out of that house. So you've got tears and I'm pushing people out a freight elevator and my kids are crying.”

She said she and former President Barack Obama then had to meet with the Trumps.
“I didn't want to go out and greet them with tears in my eyes because people would think I was crying for other reasons,” Mrs. Obama said, according to CBS News.
The former first lady said after eight years of watching her husband “get raked over the coals” and feeling like they had to be perfect, "It was a lot emotionally that when I got on that plane, it was a release."
She also spoke personally about marriage and motherhood, saying kids can “take up all the oxygen in the land.”
quote:
She said she thinks her husband sometimes made the presidency look easy.
“I guess it's kind of like if the black guy can do it, anybody can do it -- and that's not true. It's a hard job.”
Obama said people forget how many punches they took to win the White House and that for a bit she was portrayed as “an angry black woman who was emasculating her husband.” Both Democrats and Republicans were afraid of “the strength of a black woman,” she said.

“The leader of the free world with a tweet can start a war, can crush an economy, can change the future of our children.”
— Michelle Obama

I can understand leaving the house she raised her children. I don't give a frick, but I can understand.

Weren’t they like high school and college age at the time? Their teddy bears?

Also they knew exactly when they’d be vacating the property for like four years.

Hard as hell to get Democrats out of government housing

I mean, what did she think was going to happen? It’s not like trump’s election would have been any different from hillary’s as far as the obamas’ schedule would have been concerned. Did the end of an 8 year presidency really sneak up on her to the point where she didn’t have an exit plan for her family?
Forget politics all together, that’s just not a particularly flattering thing to admit from the perspective of a parent.

I might have missed it, but did she mention race at any point during that interview?

People of color and women seem to always think less of themselves that the rest of society does. I never knew this thought existed until she put it out there.

When asked about leaving the White House and her years living there with her husband and children, Michelle had this to say: "Black, black, black, black, black." Just give it a rest.

Imagine what Trump's approval numbers would be today if he was raked over the coals the same as Obama. It would be in the 80-90 percentile.
