According to a surprising new report, former first lady Michelle Obama is considering a major change in her career trajectory: retiring permanently from public life.

Obama divulged the news during a new interview with People magazine, in which she discussed the rationale of her potential decision.

As Fox 5 reports:

The former first lady says in a new People magazine interview that she picked up knitting needles to pass time during the coronavirus pandemic. And now she’s hooked…

Mrs. Obama also discusses what she says is the “low-grade depression” she experienced during the pandemic lockdowns and after George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police last May, along with her shift away from high-impact exercise and what she wants out of retirement…

“I’ve been telling my daughters I’m moving towards retirement right now,” she said, adding that she’s choosing her projects and chasing summer. Her new Netflix children’s food show, “Waffles + Mochi,” premieres Tuesday, and the Obama Presidential Center is under construction in Chicago.

“Barack and I never want to experience winter again,” Mrs. Obama said. “We’re building the foundation for somebody else to continue the work so we can retire and be with each other, and Barack can golf too much, and I can tease him about golfing too much because he’s got nothing else to do.”

  1. You write, not in quotes, “George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police last May”
    Why do you perpetuate this incorrect statement? Floyd’s autopsy showed that he died of a Fentanyl overdose, three times a fatal dose and audio recordings showed that he was saying “I can’t breathe” repeatedly. while standing up, minutes before he laid down and was restrained when he appeared unable to control his movements and may have injured himself. In addition, the police summoned Emergency Medical assistance three times. Your report prejudices Chauvin’s trail and is poor journalism.

          1. Waffles and Mochi, are you for real? What she/him couldn’t fill another warehouse with a “best seller” to line their pockets from China? Reach around Michael Levaughan Robinson and pooh pusher Barrack could not leave the Country soon enough..

    1. And the DA, even after acknowledging the FACTS AS PRESENTED BY THE AUTOPSY REPORT, went ahead and added THIRD DEGREE MURDER…..

      So the jury would have options….

      Here’s an Idea.

      Notify the mobs that ANY FUTURE RIOTING WILL BE MET WITH LETHAL RESPONSES!

    2. Anything from this person to make it seem like “poor me, I have it so hard, I’m depressed, woe is me, America has been so hard on my family and people…” I sure do wish me and my
      husband were in a position to just be able for me to pick up the knitting needles and him golf all day! But then, our country did not “discrimate against us” that way! We still have to work for our living! And we’re much older than they are and yes, we went to college, just didn’t land any of those sweet pot deals from a country I wasn’t proud of!

      1. Well said Deb…We are much older than both of them and we still keep going… That is the trouble with America…Too much PLAY and sitting back and doing nothing…..BUT… still causing trouble for the rest of us!!! NOT at all proud to be an American right now! God help us and get these creeps out of our faces!!!

    3. AND HIS FAMILY HAS RECEIVED 27 MILLION FROM MINNEAPOLIS TAXPAYERS AND THE TRAIL HASN’T EVEN STARTED, THE OFFICER WILL BE FOUND NOT GUILTY BY THE JURY WHEN THE TREUTH COMES OUIT!

  2. Wondering if her “retirement” has anything to do with the arrests being done regarding the election fraud? Mike and Obama are on the line for treason.

    1. You are living in an alternate universe. Get the facts straight before you spew your lies and venom.

      1. You are living in a naive universe if you dont think the Obama’s didn’t do anything wrong. They are crooked like their friend HRC.

      2. By your downvotes, it looks like you are a majority of one in your thinking, if it could be called “thinking.”

    1. They hadn’t had time to milk the taxpayers in order to retire. They had no real money until he got in office. What did he do for that money? He certainly didn’t make America great, Obama made America look like losers.

  3. People retire and they also are known to “un-retire.” I strongly suspect that the last chapter has no been written with respect to Michelle Obama.

  4. I don’t really care what the Obamas do…they were the beginning of the destruction of our country and our constitutional freedoms…they should spend the rest of their existence in HELL !!

    1. Amen! There was very little racism b4 the Obama’s and their gal pal, Oprah, started spewing their garbage abt racism.

  5. Lies, lies and more lies…. that is what you get out of the dem’s and the O’s are still the leaders.

  6. Wonderful it’s time for them to finally fade into the sunset . As for your comment on the “ George Floyd “ I wholeheartedly disagree with you since it’s this type of reckless commentary that continues to perpetuate divisive racist lies against our police officers . I am sick and tired of criminals getting more attention from the press as if they were Saints and putting them as victims on pedestals instead of reporting on their long true criminal raps .

  7. Barack and michelle have since childhood been dedicated to the destruction of America. Incredibly, they apparently bleive that we are a terrible colonialist evil empire instead of a capitalistic constitutional republic! !They have never ever ceased to promote so called socialism(really marxism)They are working very passionately anactively behind the scenes running our government now that poor pathetic biden has been elected.They want redistribution of wealth and reparations. they will never ever retire. I do not think we can survive 4 years of marxist rule.However, if we do then either Trump or DeSantis will be elected in 2024. perhaps they can lead us back to where we were before the attack of the china virus.There is only a faint hope we can survive. i am praying for us to repent as a nation and to be delivered from all evil marxist rule and especially barack and michelle.May God have mercy on us all.I

    1. Right on! However, I wouldn’t refer to Biden as “poor.” He has made a fortune from China and, I fear, this is just the beginning!!

  8. IT’s “RETIRING” Statement reaffirms that both of the Obummers have been and never stopped STRONGLY WORKING IN THE SHADOWS OF AND BEHIND THE DEMONCRAT GOVERNANCE!

  9. These two POS belong in Gitmo! Get them out of the US they are both Evil and should pay for their wrong doings. Jail them both for life in Gitmo now!

  10. HUSSEIN AND MOOCHIE OBAMA are too much of CONTROL FREAKS to stay out of POLITICS they feel no body can run things as well as they do.!

  11. Please post my comments. Thank YyouBoth michelle and barack have been dedicated to the destruction of American since childhood.They are now ruling America ever since pathetic biden was elected.They will never ever retire.They tragically believe that America is an evil imperialist empire instead of a capitalist constitutional republic.They are passionately committed socialists( actually marxists).I am concerned that we may not be able to survive 4 years of evil marxist rule.However, if we do, Trump or DeSantis will be elected along with other true constitution loving patriots.There would then be a faint hope we might repent of all the years of legal child murderand be redeemed as a nation.May God have mercy on all of us! !

    1. The practice of Socialism not only destroys nations, it expands to enjoin people globally to unwittingly invite socialists onto their shores, who convince those people to adopt their ‘solutions’ by employing patented platitudes, social engineering and embellished or even fabricated events to rally populations to implement this ideology (When populations are disarmed, and their protests become a means for government crackdowns and speech codes, they’ll suddenly realize the folly of their believing governments are beneficent.) Think of socialism as a Pyramid Scheme: Those at the top reap great rewards, while those at the bottom languish with minimal gains after arduous labors.

    1. It means when she goes on Ellen’s Hen Party (I heard Ellen was a real rooster…) she’ll have to write a radical feminist tell-all tome first.

  12. That would be the best thing that could happen to the USA if they retired, after having been behind the latest Biden-shenanigans of destroying the USA, something Barack Obama started, Biden finishing, with Iran, Palestine, China, immigration, no borders , children in cages, illegals with drugs, human trafficking, criminals, terrorists coming across the border. All the restrictions, food stamps instead of work, letting down the “forgotten men and women” who were starting to get ahead, not kept depending on the Government for everything, feeling a sense of dignity etc, etc Less division, less RACISM, their biggest theme!

  13. Retiring from what, hating her country except when her husband in President? If so, I give it a week and then back to work!

  14. The Obama’s Leaving America permanently would be better and greatly appreciated by AMERICAN CITIZENS!!

    1. Actually, I think that was their scheme (Leaving America) if Trump was reelected. Folks might not know that the Donald had big plans to drain much more of the swamp as a lame duck. Had he enacted these plan during his first term, it would have made him politically unpopular, because some big names (Perhaps names like Obama) would have been on Trump’s list.

  15. Hmm. Lemme check my WGAFFFA (Who Gives A Flying Frog’s Fat Ass?) Meter: It’s on Zero. I will credit her (?…) for lowering the aggregate weight of American schoolchildren, by forcing them to eat food that smelled like vomit.

  16. Quote: “Barack can golf too much, and I can tease him about golfing too much because he’s got nothing else to do.”
    Don’t buy it for a minute
    This is blatant defection
    BO is occupied with running the marionette in the White house and the Admin calls and Emails that entails.
    Retirement announcement – no one was asking.
    Psycopaths are constantly deflecting.

  17. Please just go away. Go suck golf balls through a garden hose on each other and we don’t want to know about whatever your doing. Don’t waste paper / ink writing books nobody reads. Go back to Kenya and play in your mud hut.

  18. She should RETIRE from life. She is NOTHING other than being a Has been. Well that and a WASTEFUL person. I mean the Obozos are broke according to a report released not to long ago. The Obozos were paid 60 million by Netflix and he makes millions in speaking fees how could they be broke?? Unless that 14.4 Million dollar beachfront home on Martha’s Vineyard actually did get washed away by Global Warming many times and they had no insurance on the place. So either she is a waster of money in a GIGANTIC WAY or someone is LYING about their money being gone.

  19. You do understand she’s playing you
    She knows very well what such a comment will generate , and I guarantee it will be used at a future date maybe with Gail, or Oprah of how nasty and hateful
    white folks were

    1. Yes…WBush did til Trump became president then he reappeared and showed his true colors. Did you notice how chummy the Bush’s became with the OBama’s after Trump became president….was sickening….😝

  20. Don’t wait today MUST sue Nancy Pelosi for gross negligence causing the wrongful dead of Ashli Babbit in the Capitol riot, she was unarmed, who gave those orders to the the Capitol police to shot an unarmed person without first giving prior notice of that they will be shooting at them , violating the law.
    No one is above the Law not even the POTUS, Nancy fired the experienced Capitol chief of police days before the riots and placed an inexperienced person to be in charge, refused the offer from the POTUS TRUMP to have 10,000 troops to stop riots in DC, there are multiple videos that show how the Capitol Police let the rioters in the Capitol and also guide them to the chambers then inside to ambush them and gun down an innocent person.
    We The People want the Law to be upheld even to everyone, no one is above the LAW.
    Now the say the Capitol police that shot Babbit is in hiding who is helping him to do so, and why they haven’t open an investigation!!!.

  21. MANchelle is just disappointed because he hasn’t been able to put on any Drag Queen shows in public schools lately.

  22. Retiring from what? Does the former first lady get a pension from the government? What is it that she has done to be even in the news! Her and her failed president should go away!

  23. I was hoping Michael and bath house Barry would commit a love leap off a tall cliff and save the rest of us a lot of BS of their 2 cents worth. I could care less what they do or think. Didn’t vote for them and don’t like them. All they did was stir up the blacks and destroy America.

  24. It appears the writer of this post didn’t verify all of the facts before posting his thoughts on FaceBook!

  25. Sure she is, she really worked hard over the years, her and Barry both are workers, y they hardly ever take more than 10 vacations a year.

  26. Retire????? From what? Other than run her mouth she hasn’t done anything for the past decade. So, if she “retires” does that mean she’ll finally shut the hades up!

  27. I was not aware that she had a career. What is she going to retire from, life? But her absence on the public scene would be welcome.
