I think she might have overdone the, "do not be afraid" bit, tbh. Trump might not be quite that bad!

Yes and yes again to all the positive comments above. I do hope Michelle Obama continues to be active in public life but I also hope their family has a bit of down time after such excellent service to their country.

Couldn't agree more.

She's a really good person. They both are. Great speech.

I wonder what she will do now. Sounds like she wants to work for young people. Good luck to her.

She is a Class Act.

A dignified, highly intelligent woman who surely will find her niche on the world stage. She has so much to offer and not just to women although she gives a very strong message about the role of women today.

I hope this is the kind of thing she carries on doing:

Really sorry! Having a few computer problems. Finally link works AND on the right thread. I'll ask GN to remove the others.

I think it maybe a case of some in the States not knowing what they had until they have lost it.

Michelle has been an inspiration to many especially the young
The Obamas have shown great dignity and empathy.

Where as .....

A very hard act to follow!

What a sophisticated pair they are. So cool and intelligent.

I hope she finds a role that makes the best of her wonderful abilities. Her communications skills are second to none. A true inspiration to many and she does give hope for the future.

She is a lovely lady and has been a wonderful First Lady.

Jalima Fri 06-Jan-17 20:05:24

She is truly inspiring and her message to the young people of America is one I hope they will heed during the coming years.

Rinouchka Fri 06-Jan-17 19:53:10

Yes indeed! I have just watched her give her last speech as First Lady and was very moved. The best First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt, imho.

daphnedill Fri 06-Jan-17 19:52:53

I agree. She's an amazing woman, but I have a feeling she won't disappear from the world stage.

Dignified, clever and with a sense of fun (Carpool Karaoke with James Corden)

We are going to miss this First Lady!
