Michelle Obama has a beautifully written memoir and is on a multi city (21 cities on her calendar to date) tour promoting the book. But more importantly, bringing her message to so many of us who miss the dignity of the 8 years her husband was the president of the United States.
I was lucky enough to be in the audience for her Denver stop. She spent part of the day in Denver visiting a children’s hospital which aligns closely with her mission as a mother and First Lady. Her personal campaign fighting childhood obesity changed school lunch programs across the nation. She raised two daughters in the harsh spotlight of public scrutiny in an admirable way with amazing results. Both Sasha and Malia are impressive young women.
She spoke about her childhood, getting into Princeton, meeting Barack, and about how hard marriage and children are in a candid way that had Reese Witherspoon laughing beside her on stage and the crowd at the Pepsi Center laughing and cheering. For me personally, as a girl from the same neighborhood in Chicago, I was mesmerized.

I am sooo envious, Michelle’s book was on display in Waterstones, tell me did she say if she’d run for President?

It really was a wonderful evening. She’s truly amazing and while the subject of her running for president didn’t come up, my guess is she’s too smart to get back in the constant scrutiny and negativity that it would bring. I think she would make an excellent president but I don’t think it will happen.

Yes, I guess living in a ‘goldfish bowl’ once is enough for anyone.
