[@StefaniaCzech]

I just enrolled to go back to college TODAY to pursue my true dream of being an environmental scientist! Thank you to strong women like Michelle Obama for inspiration and being an amazing role model!

[@timmyturner6055]

Stefania Czech never give up on your Dreams

Stefania Czech good luck (:

[@ashgaden7569]

Inspiration for marrying a bloke? You're crazy she's no inspiration try looking up to a woman that's made her own way in life and became successful! Not the Bleddy wife of a president! Really don't understand this American obsession with the first lady? No other country in the world cares or gives a fuck about who there priminister or president married because they are meaningless and have nothing to do with the job or position of power.

[@margaretbrewer1247]

You are a good example Social interruption. Ill informed! Michelle Robinson Obama herself is successful (Read about her) However, she is operating as one, well balanced unit with her husband. You use the word "obsession", with the Obamas being the Best representation of this country in my lifetime, your word choice shows you're simply Green with envy. I will pray for you and your like minded fellows, that you be delivered from your condescending darkness to say and do complimenting things. Life in itself is challenging enough, no one needs nor appreciates anyone who stands in the way. Get out of the way. Keep your un-nurtured emotions in your own space. #michelle obama

This First Lady, and her husband, have been the greatest source of inspiration to me for these past eight years. I am proud, defiantly and definitively so. They deserve all the thanks in the world.

[@leeshawinter703]

Couldn't have said it better. Well done!

[@jameelasuleiman6909]

losepoundsandinches you know what? Maybe I would--Except--I actually like the way I look and am not, in fact loaded with insecurities about the way I look, thank you very much. And you know, if the only way you'll attempt to win an argument by insulting people's looks, you'll always lose.

[@leeshawinter703]

Stop insulting this poor person. What did she do wrong? She was simply expressing her opinion and views. If you don't like Michelle Obama, that's fine. But please, PLEASE don't hate on people who think differently than you. It never ends well and it only causes tension.

[@thirtyonesolutions1868]

She is eloquent but what did she actually do??? None of her supporters will answer me. They just think she's cool and that's not good enough and is downright dangerous.

[@leeshawinter703]

@Dale white Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested :)

I love your post.

[@LoryConrad]

"And I hope I've made you proud," were her last words. Michelle Obama has been phenomenal motivator, leader, encourager, and role model, not just for young people, but for anyone who has taken the time to listen to her and take her message to heart. As she prepares to leave the White House, I realize how spoiled I have become at having her as First Lady. We have had gracious First Ladies before, but never one to match Michelle Obama. She has been "the whole package" and I can't imagine ever in my lifetime seeing her equal again. I will grieve to see her leave the White House. I hope she will remain active in public life. This country needs Michelle Obama. She is a national treasure.

That bubble will burst when I lose my health insurance, but I will at least not have doctors telling me the truth about my health because I will never get to see them. That will keep the tenure of denial going until we have a new administration, or I die. Meanwhile, I will watch videos such as this to feel hope in a hopeless place.

Mike Pelletier stfu you stupid racist piece of trash! I'm sick of idiot bigots like you! I find it funny how limited you and your kind are on vocabulary words. You see a black man and woman praised and it just burns your moronic ass up. In the words of Abraham Lincoln "Achievement has no color!"

[@thirtyonesolutions1868]

Just curious other than her beauty and very eloquent words and even perhaps her color- what will you miss? I think the obama's have been a huge disappointment. I thought they had character but they just ended up like the rest of the politicians. I do give credit where credit is due tho- barack was the only president to tackle healthcare. It's not perfect but no first plan could be, but something had to be done and he took a shot. I give him mad props for that.

don't waste your time responding to those fools, just report the comment for abuse and hopefully he'll be banned

[@thirtyonesolutions1868]

Laron Lemon I hear ya. But is the empowerment real and based on merit or just a backlash against years of oppression and becuz she's so pretty, eloquent, and yes black? She has an allure, an appeal to minorities and many young women I think but what is there to look up to as far as accomplishments? She told half the country that they don't have hope becuz the candidate she endorsed didn't get elected. Not cool! Says half the country goes low and she goes high! Come on! And she got caught on camera saying "all this for a damn flag" at a flag ceremony for fallen vets!! I, along with others, wept at that sting. So I'm honestly open minded. I want someone to give me some accomplishments of hers I missed but I can't find anyone to do so. Best regards sir.

[@basictshirt]

Mike Pelletier dude shut the fuck up you peace of shit this is America we can say what the hell we want fucking trump supporter they don't give a fuck to what happens to people and go ahead write a something mean we are the people you all are the peaces of shit that need to go to hell

[@k33568]

ughh no don't leave

[@mortifiedpenguin9941]

why

[@jeffvega250]

And for Mr. Bill O'Reilly you are wrong. Entertainers are not boycotting Trump's inauguration because they are scared. They are boycotting because of remarks. America is not about polarization. It is about inclusion. People are not happy with Trump because of his misogynistic and racist ways. He led a platform through his campaign that was quite discerning for most Americans. Your opinion that a transition should go over peacefully when millions are against this transition is problematic. Do you remember Vietnam? Have you studied the Holocaust? Do you remember what Nelson Mandela went through? Do you even care what LGBT rights are, and that we have now received the right to marry and get the same benefits? Do you care that these reforms could be taken away from millions by a bigot? You sir are an idiot. People need to voice their opinions and fight oppression always. Donald Trump will oppress us as a nation and people that are mostly, obviously by 3.9 million, a good caring country.

She is a gorgeous woman. But she has offended and disappointed so many ppl that she will leave being not fondly remembered by many. It's a shame. She seemed so lovely and then her true colors surfaced. She disrespected our flag- unheard of for a first lady! And now she's telling all of us that we don't have hope becuz a candidate she disagrees with won. That isn't American- it's quite the opposite.

I’m watching this to give me strength in 2018. It’s still making me emotional and I can’t believe she’s no longer our First Lady.

I do not understand how anyone could dislike her speech. People seriously just like to dislike some videos to be negative. And that is sad.

As strange as it may sound ! I am going to miss the Obamas all the way from India x

[@queenb8388]

No matter where one's from or whatever doubts one might have on the political views: This woman deserves so much credits. Her sincerity brings me to tears. So inspiring. She is a powerhouse

The depth, intelligence, and sense of purpose of Michelle Obama as First Lady of America will most probably never be equalled. Proud to be alive during her tenure. Thank you Michelle Obama.

I envy you, American people. We've never had a first lady like her in Japan. She has such a grace as well as a good sense of humor. The world is gonna miss you, Ms Obama!残念だけど、日本では彼女のようなファーストレディーは誕生しないだろうな…シカゴの貧しい地域から弁護士になり、大統領夫人になるなんて正しくアメリカンドリーム。その生い立ちだからこそ多くの人に支持されたんだろう。
