Michelle Obama wows young crowd in Vancouver (barf alert)

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of teenage girls were vibrating with excitement Thursday afternoon as they waited outside the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

The focus of their feelings wasn’t Justin Bieber, or even Justin Trudeau, but rather former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama.

The wife of the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, was in Vancouver for two Greater Vancouver Board of Trade WE FOR SHE-sponsored appearances, the first being a moderated conversation Thursday afternoon. Michelle will deliver a speech at 6 p.m. Friday.

“I’m, we’re so excited,” said Alysha Brooks, a 17-year-old student from Johnston Heights Secondary in Surrey, as she and other classmates stood waiting for the doors at the theatre to open. “She is so amazing and inspirational.”

Brooks was just one of a few hundred youths that were given tickets by Vancity for the event.

During her years in the White House (2009-17), Michelle Obama became a role model for women and a champion for young girls and education.

WE FOR SHE?

Do the Obamas do ANYTHING that isn’t sexist or racist (all the while lecturing us for being sexist and racist?).

Barf alert, indeed.

“”Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of teenage girls”””

But that is in Canadian units so it converts to about a dozen in American.

Pretty low bar for vibrating with excitement up there, eh?

“She is so amazing and inspirational.”

Since when is traveling on the taxpayer dime and eating free food for eight years "amazing and inspirational"?

No, honey. She's only a celebrity, nothing more.

Are you just as excited when you go to the zoo, Alysha?

My only question is which Senate seat she will run for as a stepping stone to running for POTUS.

I have always maintained that she is too inherently lazy to ever run for President.

Moocherella, do actual work? Let alone the duties of President? Uh uh.
