The field of candidates in the 2020 presidential elections continues to widen almost every week, but former first lady Michelle Obama argued that not everyone is cut out for the job.
On an episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” which aired Monday, she spoke with the host about how the perception of the job as changed in the current presidency.
“It’s not a reality show, it’s real-life stuff,” she told O’Brien.
Obama said that in her involvement in the 2016 election, she tried to emphasize that the position is a hard job and that someone with certain experience needed to fill it.
“This is a really hard job, and it’s serious, and it requires a level of knowledge, of history and patience, and you have to be a reader, and you have to be someone that can handle stress, and you have to watch your words,” she said.
“I mean, we live in a time, ‘tell it like it is,’ and it’s like, not when your words can start wars and shift markets. There’s a responsibility to be careful with them.”
Obama didn’t mention President Donald Trump or any candidate in particular and insisted her words weren’t “shade” at anyone.
“As someone who has been there, just let me tell you about this job because it’s real, and when Barack was in office — you know, this is my opinion — he made it look really easy, and it’s not,” the former first lady added.
“So we should all know that as part of the electorate, that we should understand that we have a responsibility to put people in office who are not only ready and passionate about it but have immense skills to do this really hard job for a long time,” she said.

Look who’s talking!
You mean experience like your husband did not have?
No cares what this dude has to say.
ClownBammy had eight years to get experience, and he was still defecating on his shoes at the end...
Let the Wookie win, Chris...
Obama’s legislative experience consisted of voting present.
I can’t stand that guy.
Her crap-ass husband had two years in the Senate! The least qualified president in history.
You can’t make this stuff up.
I think Baraq was just the election figurehead. ValJ was running the show.
Ya mean like your husband, who voted PRESENT every chance he could and ONLY got elected because he was a black Muslim Commie
she speaks like an 8th grader
Without even a whiff of irony.
Remember, Obama picked Biden as VP because Obama had “0” experience in foreign affairs and the workings of Congress and Biden knew his way around both.
You need at least six months in Washington before you’re ready to announce your candidacy for President. Well, maybe two.
Isn’t a bartender sort of like a community organizer. By the by, I have lived in my neighborhood for YEARS, and I still don’t know who my community organizer is.
Poor Chewie. He's so much better looking and likable than Mike.
Pretty funny coming from a First Lady who’s husband had no experience aside from voting present
What kind of experience did Michael have for his no show job?
How was voting “present” experience for Michael’s husband?
