Michelle Obama is a 1st lady that made America Proud, she is a woman that made All women around the globe Proud. Such a wonderful, Charming, Nurturing Lady with a Magnanimity & Generous Spirit to her......Classy in every way ! Love to the Obama family & the Colbert team from India.
@@AzazelHash281 She is not the 1st lady any more so its not a political thing as she has no intention of running for Prez ( tho she'd win hands down), so if someone cannot appreciate her for her own achievements then that person's opinion is of no consequence........ man or woman.
I was honestly scared to look in the comments section. I didn't want to be upset by all the hate that I was sure people were leaving for Michelle. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised to see so much praise and adoration for her. She totally deserves that and more.
Please pass some laws so we can throw these obamas in jail. or better yet, make it so they have to have a permit to live in the U.S. but don't have any permits available,
I thinl thats why its easier to lead russia despite its size. Trump so envious of putin and xi. Docile societies added with fear probably present lesser challenges to leadership. Praise to leaders who give importance to human rights!

@Louane Kelly He's destroying it Not saving it Its funny that america is the most powerful country in the world yet it has one of the highest covid rates he even praised North korea's Worst Dictator insults the queen of Britain, Avoids covid like its just a normal flu, dose not accept criticism and blames it on other even doe it's clearly he's mistake, Throws tear Gas on peaceful rally and acts like a kid at the world summit and mind you every leaders of the country was there. he brings shame to america and For you're information i have better typing skills then you even doe english is my 3rd language.
but even for 30 min of crying says much of the burden she has to carry with grace and dignity in the face of public scrutiny from critics and the opposition... just to do the job with no margin of error... that is appreciation of the task in hand...
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.
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.
@cothan VN I do not now nor will I ever understand the point of your comment. Is that the ultimate insult to you? Do you somehow feel like more of a man because you are able to needlessly attack someone based on their appearance? I honestly don't understand. However, what I do understand is just how easily you have proven the very point she made - you feel all powerful behind your computer spewing your hate but in person I bet it would be a different story.
@Revelation 2:7 WWG1WGA If we go by your logic, then you will NEVER have the class Michael embodies. Never ever. Continue to live in your rural red state and be mediocre.
Most exquisite, classy, fun to be around and intelligent First Lady to ever set foot on the White House. Love you, dear Michelle. What a role model you still are not only to the American society but to the whole world. A real First Lady.
DearMakeUpDiary The Obama’s continue to represent your country, with great dignity, grace and intelligence. ❤️The current occupants of the White House, clearly do not belong there. Pure crooked, corrupted trash! 😡
@cothan VN trump today: "I am all alone (poor me) in the White House ..." where is melania? (spoiler: florida) you seem small. and heartbreakingly susceptible to lies and hate and fear. that isn't an indictment so much as I feel enormous pity for you.
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 .....
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.
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.
You can have her and her millions of dollars. She can complain about how she’s afraid to go to the store because of all the racism that’s held her and her two term president husband down!
@@kaymusonda1597 Yeah, I see why you would say that. Aquarius people can be really mentally manipulative. I dated one (never again!) and that's my moon sign. But he's a Leo, if memory serves me right.

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.
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?
@Louane Kelly I'm not really sure what you are saying..very bot like typing here. But anyway, if Turmp is apparently "saving us" I'd really like to know why he hasn't done jack shit in the 4 years he has had. That argument is so utterly asinine. He's not saving anyone aside from trying to save himself and his crooked buddies. These people claiming they are woke are so brainwashed into thinking their woke they have lost touch with all reality.
This interview, which I have watched several times, gives me hope, makes me cry, and makes me thankful for such an intelligent, well-spoken leader. She is the opposite of the crumbling discourse in our country. Thank you, Michelle Obama.
ShadowBeat Stop when you say that you are a school yard bully. Your not thought of as intelligent or having a opinion that I might listen to and take on board
John McSween You sir are a bully. You are showing a lack of intelligence. No one respects this kind of school yard meanness. I’m more likely to listen to your opinion if you don’t lead with this
@@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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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??
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'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
Nicholas Smith thank you for your kind words. For the record I’ve voted Republican and I’m a democrat and now Independent. If you do tour job and do it well, I have no problem crossing party lines...
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 ?
"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.
@@dylanhaymore608 we all know damn well this is a delusional white RW person drinking that God forsaken kool aid and believing it's life sustaining water.
The only reason people hate the Obama's because they we're black Obama was smart and mannered Trump is dumb and rude one had empathy the other has hate and no love fore mankind
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".
You all can say what you want . Democrat, republican, independent whatever but you cannot dent the poise, intelligence and class this woman carries herself with
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.
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!
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.
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 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!)
The bar for the (first) black First Family was overwhelmingly high yet the bar for the current white one is unbelievable low. No news there but it’s astounding how many people don’t realize the stark differences in the treatments both families received. It would boggle my mind if my mind wasn’t fried of that emotion long ago.
Bryzz Lull you are HILARIOUS. Michelle was called a man and an ape. She’s a Harvard Law grad. Melania was essentially Trumps mail order bride. She posed naked. But she’s WAY classier than Michelle🙄. Ummm..ok....racist
If you honestly still believe that at this point there is most likely nothing I can say to you that’ll make you see otherwise. Enjoy your life and all the hell the dems are gonna bring to your worldview in the near future. ✌️
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.
OOOOOOOO MYYYYYYY GAAAAWWWWWDDDDD. When she says the country needs seriousness but it also needs Joy. You may not agree with Obama policies or whatever but you cannot deny the true leadership and confidence and empathy the Obama WH portrayed. Now America is broken so bad its scary.
1/23/2021. The long nightmare is over and went out with an insurrection attempt, traitors calling themselves patriots, and the tweet mouth finally silenced. Oh happy day! Biden ain't much but he ain't trump.
@@robertbennie7889 Amen to that. But sometimes when the enemy is silenced if puts people at a disadvantage b'cause you don't hear their stupid thoughts to be prepared. But im so ok with this.
There's nothing negative that can be said about this fantastic lady. All superlatives describing this wonderful personality would be grossly understated.
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.
@@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.
This interview, which I have watched several times, gives me hope, makes me cry, and makes me thankful for such an intelligent, well-spoken leader. She is the opposite of the crumbling discourse in our country. Thank you, Michelle Obama.
When she said she hopes she'll be remembered for giving hope to young people I just teared up. They always made me feel like things were gonna be ok. So sincerely missed.
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
She didn't have time because she was too busy grubbing for money, not doing anything worthwhile? She wouldn't want to put what she did to aquire that money in a journal anyway.
She is amazing. I absolutely adore this woman. She is such a wonderful role model for all young women. For 27 minutes I remembered what it is like to be a proud American.
I totally agree. Watching/listening to Michelle, I am so proud and in awe of her. I hope she continues to remain in the public eye, promoting the causes of our young (and proudly American INCLUDING those who wish to become American) people from all walks of life.
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.
What a woman. Utter class. Immense respect for how she has conducted herself and her family on the biggest and brightest stage of all for more than 10 years now. An exemplar for every country on how to behave when you are at the very top.
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!
No. Integrity and family values are much missed from the whitehouse of your country. I’m Canadian and tear up when I hear President and Michelle Obama. Such wonderful role models. 16 years of no sex scandals or moral turpitude by either Bush family or Obama family. My iPhone has started autocorrecting Whitehouse to whorehouse.
@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?
