I haven't totally followed news about Michelle Obama

[dsc]

is she physically OK? Missing both Carter's funeral and the Inauguration does worry me a bit. I get the Inauguration, I would likely not attend an outside activity to see him take an oath either. But Carter's funeral is different. I just am hoping she is OK.

1. Maybe her actions are her way of "going high"?

[MichMan]

2. For the Carter funeral, I heard she didn't want to interrupt her vacation in Hawaii n/t

[dsc]

3. Can't say I blame her entirely for that

[brush]

4. Who can blame her? She was to sit next to trump.

15. Respect for Pres. Carter

[brush]

16. Pres. Carter is deserving of respect. I'm sure she weighed that, but Pres. O represented the family and...

and save her from having to endure sitting next to that corrupt, traitor trump who is not deserving of respect.

She made her statement and I respect her for it.

5. Is she and her husband vacationing separately now?

Because Obama was definitely there at the Funeral.

6. He could interrupt while she didn't

[claudette]

8. Maybe he

decided to return for the funeral and it was ok with him that Michelle didn't. I don't blame her for not going to the orange moron's inauguration after the way his insane remarks led to threats against her children. Any mother would do the same. Obama was president so his being there is just respect for DEMOCRACY - not for the orange lunatic.

7. Protocol would have forced her to sit next to Trump.

I would have avoided that to.

9. I thought

it was reported she had a previous engagement on the day of Carters funeral. I thought they said it was in Hawaii maybe?

10. Good grief! She doesn't owe anyone an explanation.

She hates politics and this is probably the reason why..she can’t have a private life.

[dsc]

11. I loathe Trump but I would have gladly sat next to him

to go to that funeral. I would have put a plug in whatever ear faced him and been done with it.

12. You are not Michelle and she is not you. Live your life and let others live theirs as they see fit

[IA8IT]

13. Nothing but tumbleweeds and a skinny coyote should attend the inauguration.

[SheilaAnn]

14. I hope Mrs. Obama is enjoying a good chuckle over this over the top concern re her absence from both the Carter

funeral and the upcoming inauguration. She owes no one any explanations as to her absence and I'm starting to get the feeling that some here are trying to insinuate a problem between she and her husband. Knock it off, none of your business or concern.

17. Maybe she needs to avoid that MFer to maintain her sanity.

She'd need to be cordial, on camera, to the man who used the Birther Conspiracy to legitimize himself as a Presidential candidate and never apologized for it. He's literally the worst person in America.

18. I think I read she was in Europe at an event/meeting .........

scheduled before Pres Carter's Funeral scheduled was announced.


I also read that when she found out she had to sit next to Trump at the funeral she said no way.
