>>> Now front now Desiree ░░░░░░░░ the former White House ░░░░░░░░ secretary who has known ░░░░░░░░ Obamas for decades Desiree ░░░░░░░░ appreciate your time Trump ░░░░░░░░ response Is she making ░░░░░░░░ mistake in not taking ░░░░░░░░ Obama up on this ░░░░░░░░ to reach out and ░░░░░░░░ Here s one of ░░░░░░░░ things I would say ░░░░░░░░ and thanks for having ░░░░░░░░ on tonight I mean ░░░░░░░░ has been so generous ░░░░░░░░ offering herself and being ░░░░░░░░ Why not take her ░░░░░░░░ on it Why not ░░░░░░░░ a discussion with someone ░░░░░░░░ just recently served for ░░░░░░░░ past eight years So ░░░░░░░░ m hopeful that perhaps ░░░░░░░░ phone will ring and ░░░░░░░░ there will be still ░░░░░░░░ for a dialogue It ░░░░░░░░ early The bottom line ░░░░░░░░ she put a hand ░░░░░░░░ she reached out and ░░░░░░░░ s available And she ░░░░░░░░ still available So that ░░░░░░░░ her generous spirit She ░░░░░░░░ a lady and you ░░░░░░░░ what who knows They ░░░░░░░░ in fact speak That ░░░░░░░░ be it would certainly ░░░░░░░░ fascinating to all watching ░░░░░░░░ imagine what that moment ░░░░░░░░ be like It might ░░░░░░░░ better we don t ░░░░░░░░ Probably I have to ░░░░░░░░ as much as we ░░░░░░░░ all love to know ░░░░░░░░ re right about that ░░░░░░░░ also opened up about ░░░░░░░░ the first black First ░░░░░░░░ Here s what she ░░░░░░░░ about that Some people ░░░░░░░░ t know what a ░░░░░░░░ woman was and sounded ░░░░░░░░ So I knew that ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ that I d have ░░░░░░░░ earn my grace People ░░░░░░░░ me Barack s baby ░░░░░░░░ mama accused me of ░░░░░░░░ loving my country You ░░░░░░░░ told me I was ░░░░░░░░ That was the first ░░░░░░░░ I really experienced someone ░░░░░░░░ my voice and balling ░░░░░░░░ up and distorting it ░░░░░░░░ isn t me Wait ░░░░░░░░ this isn t who ░░░░░░░░ am How much of ░░░░░░░░ struggle was all of ░░░░░░░░ for her You know ░░░░░░░░ was there early on ░░░░░░░░ certainly there was the ░░░░░░░░ of winning the election ░░░░░░░░ coming in as the ░░░░░░░░ group to come in ░░░░░░░░ serve the president and ░░░░░░░░ Lady At the same ░░░░░░░░ I think particularly in ░░░░░░░░ and moving in there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of what ░░░░░░░░ this going to be ░░░░░░░░ Is this going to ░░░░░░░░ different because we ve ░░░░░░░░ the first African American ░░░░░░░░ entering into the White ░░░░░░░░ I can tell you ░░░░░░░░ of the incredible things ░░░░░░░░ happened is you know ░░░░░░░░ as we were preparing ░░░░░░░░ to move in to ░░░░░░░░ the staff most of ░░░░░░░░ is African American to ░░░░░░░░ how they reacted to ░░░░░░░░ new family coming in ░░░░░░░░ to see the amount ░░░░░░░░ emotion on the face ░░░░░░░░ Michelle on the face ░░░░░░░░ the president It was ░░░░░░░░ heart warming Now one ░░░░░░░░ the things that people ░░░░░░░░ very interested in in ░░░░░░░░ Michelle Obama is now ░░░░░░░░ about and writing about ░░░░░░░░ her marriage You know ░░░░░░░░ she s very honest ░░░░░░░░ the fact that it ░░░░░░░░ UPS and downs and ░░░░░░░░ She talks for example ░░░░░░░░ meeting Barack Obama for ░░░░░░░░ first time which is ░░░░░░░░ interesting story She was ░░░░░░░░ to be his mentor ░░░░░░░░ so they came to ░░░░░░░░ with this idea This ░░░░░░░░ the first time we ░░░░░░░░ about this part of ░░░░░░░░ impression Let me play ░░░░░░░░ for you You weren ░░░░░░░░ overly impressed in the ░░░░░░░░ I wasn t I ░░░░░░░░ my suspicions when a ░░░░░░░░ of white folks fawn ░░░░░░░░ a black man because ░░░░░░░░ think okay he can ░░░░░░░░ straight so they think ░░░░░░░░ s wonderful So that ░░░░░░░░ my theory And then ░░░░░░░░ name was Barack Obama ░░░░░░░░ was from Hawaii I ░░░░░░░░ what So I didn ░░░░░░░░ really know what to ░░░░░░░░ What s your reaction ░░░░░░░░ that Desiree I think ░░░░░░░░ s so honest it ░░░░░░░░ so pure Michelle I ░░░░░░░░ she s not easily ░░░░░░░░ swept away or influenced ░░░░░░░░ what others might say ░░░░░░░░ I think what you ░░░░░░░░ coming out of this ░░░░░░░░ is just genuine her ░░░░░░░░ feelings her genuine reactions ░░░░░░░░ s not sugar coated ░░░░░░░░ is how she honestly ░░░░░░░░ And I think what ░░░░░░░░ so great about that ░░░░░░░░ many people could identify ░░░░░░░░ meeting their future husbands ░░░░░░░░ the first time And ░░░░░░░░ it is a very ░░░░░░░░ and honest story coming ░░░░░░░░ her And of course ░░░░░░░░ now know the ending ░░░░░░░░ at that point in ░░░░░░░░ you know we re ░░░░░░░░ the story so we ░░░░░░░░ to hear it in ░░░░░░░░ own words how she ░░░░░░░░ felt You know I ░░░░░░░░ in one of the ░░░░░░░░ that s out there ░░░░░░░░ that someone said nobody ░░░░░░░░ is going to run ░░░░░░░░ public office would do ░░░░░░░░ book jacket the way ░░░░░░░░ Obama did They would ░░░░░░░░ had a more buttoned ░░░░░░░░ look than the look ░░░░░░░░ she wore I d ░░░░░░░░ to think that that ░░░░░░░░ not true that people ░░░░░░░░ absolutely wear that and ░░░░░░░░ for office I m ░░░░░░░░ as to your view ░░░░░░░░ her Do you think ░░░░░░░░ she will ever run ░░░░░░░░ don t think she ░░░░░░░░ run I really don ░░░░░░░░ She said it often ░░░░░░░░ believe her I mean ░░░░░░░░ s not what her ░░░░░░░░ feels her calling is ░░░░░░░░ really think that she ░░░░░░░░ opened so many doors ░░░░░░░░ women and young girls ░░░░░░░░ book cover can look ░░░░░░░░ you feel And I ░░░░░░░░ that that s what ░░░░░░░░ s given us She ░░░░░░░░ given us this ability ░░░░░░░░ be who we are ░░░░░░░░ you read through the ░░░░░░░░ she was just a ░░░░░░░░ girl that had enormous ░░░░░░░░ from her parents always ░░░░░░░░ to do well and ░░░░░░░░ what she s accomplished ░░░░░░░░ think that s really ░░░░░░░░ we have here is ░░░░░░░░ kind of an ordinary ░░░░░░░░ coming from ordinary circumstances ░░░░░░░░ really having this extraordinary ░░░░░░░░ and really pulling others ░░░░░░░░ and saying you too ░░░░░░░░ to this You too ░░░░░░░░ become whoever you re ░░░░░░░░ to be All right ░░░░░░░░ thank you so much ░░░░░░░░ appreciate your time Thank ░░░░░░░░ Erin.
