But did you catch FLOTUS throw some shade?

You know it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president. Remember how I told you abut his character and conviction, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day since he served our country in the White House.

Now why would FLOTUS say a thing like that?

Pretty sure Michelle's completely ruled out a future political career.

Obama on the subject:

""No, no," Mr. Obama said. "No, no, no...no, no."

"Let me tell ya, there are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and Michelle is not running for president. That, I can tell you," he said. "

Also if they changed their mind, I'd see her run for a Senate seat similar to how Hillary did so the earliest I could see her run, assuming they change their mind RIGHT NOW, is 2028.

as Andy Borowitz said, "Michelle Obama is way too classy to do a Melania joke tonight, and that saddens me"
