RadioOnFire.com - On Tuesday former first lady Michelle Obama said there's a distinct difference between her husbands Presidency and Donald Trump's.
"Many of the young people today, they only know Barack Obama as their president and what that standard felt like and what kind of messages were being talked about [...] They grew up only under hope and possibility and options and opportunity and creating more space.I think they will feel some of what's happening now as intrinsically not what they were taught."
Michelle Obama said that it's important to welcome new ideas and diversity when it comes to politics. Congress doesn't just suffer a lack of diverse ideas but also a lack of racial diversity.
"It's a feeling of color, almost. On one side of the room, it's literally gray and white, literally, that's the color palette on one side of the room. On the other side of the room, there's yellows and blues and whites and greens, physically there's a difference in color in the tone. Because one side, all men, all white. On the other side, some women, some people of color, I look at that and I go, no wonder. No wonder we struggle. No wonder we don't trust politics. But it's not just politics,"
After reflecting more on her life after the Obama presidency, Michelle Obama is enjoying the freedom of being out of the political arena.
