Michelle Obama opens up about her ‘uncontrollable sobbing’ on day of Trump’s inauguration

Washington CNN — Michelle Obama broke down shortly after leaving then-President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the former first lady candidly shared in a new podcast, as the emotions of leaving their family’s home after eight years and resentment over Trump taking office overwhelmed her.

“When those doors shut, I cried for 30 minutes straight, uncontrollable sobbing, because that’s how much we were holding it together for eight years,” Obama said, referring to her final trip aboard the presidential airplane.

The fresh revelation of Obama’s experience came in a clip of her “The Light Podcast,” which launched on Audible Tuesday. The podcast audio comes from the former first lady’s recent book tour for her third book, “The Light We Carry,” which reflects on how she’s dealt with relationships, self-doubt and anxiety during uncertain times. It captures conversations from her visits to six cities with all-star moderators, like Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, David Letterman and Conan O’Brien to promote and discuss her best-selling book.

“After the inauguration – and we know whose inauguration we were at – that day was so emotional on so many different reasons. We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew,” Obama shared. “They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere. So we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.”

Uncontrollable sobbing? Where was her husband to soothe her and her hysteria?

Stiller and Meara used to have a routine where Anne Stiller is playing a psychiatrist. Her patient, Jerry Stiller, is reaching a breakthrough moment, and she tells him "let it all out."

He starts really getting loud, sobbing hysterically, and she says "hold some of it back."

She’s running. I don’t know if she has the stones to debate though. One of those basement campaigns.

I’ve heard her quoted as saying she was frustrated at living in a house built by slaves.

I don’t know if that’s historically true , but according to her, the White House was built by slaves.

There was an easy solution to such a problem , but she never availed herself of that easy solution.

Two distinct songs.
Is it her turn to cry or ours, is she finished now or just ready for a huge comeback in the next election? Who will cry?

Notice Obama had to leave so the blue eyed Trump could take over the White House.

I Cried For You (Now It’s Your Turn To Cry Over Me
Lyrics by Diana Ross

I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That’s one thing you learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
But I found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

That I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
//////////////////////////////////////
YOUR TURN TO CRY
By Hank Williams (1949)

The day that we parted you laughed when I cried
You said you didn’t care that your love had died
Now you say you’re sorry that you said goodbye
But it’s my turn to laugh and your turn to cry

Darling when you left me I thought my life was through
Everything that I did reminded me of you
But now I’ve forgotten no more tears in my eyes

It’s my turn to laugh and your turn to cry
My turn to laugh your turn to cry my love was true yours was a lie

But now I’ve forgotten no more tears in my eyes
It’s my turn to laugh and your turn to cry
My turn to laugh your turn to cry...

Believe me, my feelings for giving a crap about America are about as genuine as this friggin’ wig I’m wearing.

Maybe the outer brick walls and foundation - EVERYTHING else was gutted and replaced during the Truman administration. Heck, the remaining walls had so much reconstructive work as to cancel out any slave debt...

Probably ate a few pounds of wagu beef and a dozen or so lobster tails to make herself feel better

It is hard to imagine but “she” is perhaps even more anti-American than her miserable commie Muslim “partner” from Kenya and Indonesia.
