Michelle Obama Reveals the Bleak Reason She’d Never Run for President

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has said that she will not even entertain the idea of running for president of the United States while the country remains so immature in its politics.

Speaking at a promotional event for her new book, The Look, Obama said the country is “not ready” for a female leader as it still has “a lot of growing up to do.”

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama told actress Tracee Ellis Ross at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York on Nov. 5. Footage of the event was made public on Friday.
