Michelle Obama says world isn’t ready for a female president

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former First Lady Michelle Obama said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she didn’t think the world was ready for a female president.

During the interview which was posted Wednesday, Michelle said that the U.S. was more comfortable voting for her husband, former President Barack Obama in 2008 than former First Lady Hillary Clinton.

“That doesn’t mean that women should roll up their sleeves and call it a day, like we’re still growing so yeah, I think it’s going to happen,” she said. “Are we ready now? I don’t know. Prove us wrong. I would love that.”

She also elaborated on her comments about her not running for president of the U.S.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” she said.

“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not.”

During the interview, she also said she didn’t like being seen as just “Barack’s wife.”

She went into detail about her accomplishments such as graduating from Princeton and Harvard and working as a lawyer in Chicago.

She said after Obama ran for office, the public narrative changed.

“I was like, ‘Oh, you guys, all of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election, and you now see me as just Barack Obama’s wife,’” she said.
