Well, I mean - they ARE celebrities. Being the first of anything makes you one. Ignoring the fact that everyone hated Bush for different reasons when he stepped down, he wasn’t even the first president IN HIS OWN FAMILY, so yeah - bad example there.

The first gay president and the first female president likewise will have the same fervor surrounding them. If you want a past example - Kennedy was the first non-Protestant president and the youngest! He too was a celebrity.

Thought about it, but I prefer smaller environments like P&P or the LOC book fair. Hopefully she’ll have add them to her list once the official tour ends.

I admire Michelle Obama and have ordered her book. I am not into big crowds however.

I would love to go! I definitely will buy her book.

The Obamas are young and brilliant - I will never get tired of them. I hope they are very active in the party.

Love her or hate her it is stunning that she is selling out arenas. Who else has ever done that when selling a book? Stormy Daniels? Michelle Obama running against Trump would be a hoot.

OP here. Michelle Obama was fantastic - warm, funny, engaging, real. Such a great surprise when Barack came out. They are wonderful together.

I work in a building where Mrs Obama spent much of last week, and every day, there were two suburbans out by the back doors, parked, and idling all day long. Like 5-6 hours, from Tuesday to this Monday while she was here.

That's +60 HOURS worth of idling SUVs.

Ponder how much pollution that caused. Probably 3 gallons of fuel for each, per day, that's 30 gallons of gasoline. That's about 180 POUNDS of carbon into the atmosphere for absolutely no reason whatsoever.


DCUM is fond of shaming people who idle their cars in their driveway for even a few minutes.

I hope someone here will have the integrity to ask Mrs Obama to instruct her agents to turn their engines off.

I love MO but this is unacceptable. Idling SUVs for hours - just no. There are usually lots of SUVs idling in front of the Capitol too, also unacceptable. If anyone has the ability to say something to her about this please do.

This has been all over my timeline--apparently several of my friends got to go! I had a work commitment today, but wouldn't been interested if not for that. The Obamas are wonderful.

OP here. I got tickets for $100 - it was the presale though.

The Obamas truly care about the middle class.

You think no one has ever told her about this?

I think its weird the above PPs want to tell Secret Service to turn their cars off. So that if there is an attack in this post-9/11 climate...well, they're stuck. Like, really?

We live in year 2018, lady. 9/11 happened 17 years ago...maybe you need to move on?

Oh, and how is the basic decency of turning you car off "being stuck"? You can turn your car on in 2 seconds.

This is just about the arrogance of power.

Can't they just turn their cars on?
