As much as I admire Michelle Obama, am not sure about her praise for HRH. That said, she's correct in her description of London. Truly one of the best cities in the world.

"I was looking out over the city, London, a beautiful city, and the thing I love about it is it is truly representative of true international diversity, in ways that you don't see in cities, most cities particularly, even in the United States...

New York is not diverse at all, lol.

Higher approval ratings than Trump.

They didn't ask me.

Since there's not one current Democrat candidate with the chance to be the nominee and beat Trump in 2020, Michelle should step in and save us from another 4 years of prosperity. Tear down those pesky fences! Let's have government run everything! Free medical, college and and income for everyone!

Yes.

Americans are not suppose to acknowledge the status of "royalty." The idea of royalty is fundamentally un-American.

Thanks for explaining that.  You mean Trump is not the King of America?  Because he sure acts like it and the constitution clearly means nothing to him.

> Free medical, college and and income for everyone!

And your problem with this is?  Can't afford it because 72 cents in every tax dollar goes to the King's armed forces?

Yep.

Why should the rich get all the benefits and tax breaks?

Anyway, Michelle Obama won't be running, so no need for panic.

To be fair, even a nobody like myself had to play the diplomatic game to a point when abroad on business, never mind a high-profile person flogging a book.

I’m against the monarchy, but I heard the current monarch is quite personable.

True. Decorum must be observed, regardless of personal feelings.

Higher approval than President Trump???

recounting the furor she caused in 2009 when she breached royal protocol by putting her arm around the queen. "Yikes! Sorry guys," she joked, explaining she later learned to keep her hands clasped or behind her back to curb her natural instincts.

No apologies needed. The whole royal protocol thing is pretty outdated/ridiculous anyway; can't touch/put your arm around a royal, c'mon guys time to step into the 21st century.

On second thought, comparing a housewife to the president, really isn't fair. Everybody loves a mommy and a housewife.

They don't.

We wouldn't be panicking, we'd be rejoicing. Wouldn't be as good as Bootleg or Beto or Elizabeth or Kamala or Joe, but it would still be good. Why wouldn't she come to the rescue of her party, anyway? Doesn't care?

Nothing special, Michelle Obama...ok, and?

I think she knows the field to winning the WH at this point in time is pretty much a dead fish in the water.
