It had to feel sooooooooo damn good to the Obamas...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

...to finally be able to speak out on their disgust and distaste for Trump. And they did it without going low.

I cannot imagine how agonizing it must have been for them to have to welcome that POS into the White House and to attend that inauguration. Had I been Mrs. Obama, I don't know that I could have made myself go unless I were tranquilized almost to unconsciousness. I'd have wanted to call in sick - and it wouldn't have been a lie.

I kept realizing that Michelle Obama wasn't going to be First Lady anymore. I cried that day. We were going to have that thing he brought with him.

Sorry, I know that's not nice, calling her that thing, but she is not anybodies first lady, she's what I'd call a cling along.

She did not want to be a FLOTUS.

It will be a great time when we have First Gentleman. I can't wait.
