In her speech culled from CNN during the recent America Institute of Architecture convention in Orlando,
Michelle who admitted that the White House stay was tough, told the audience that she wouldn’t run for public office saying: ‘I wouldn’t ask my children to do this again.’
‘It’s all well and good until you start running, and then the knives come out,’ she said in her speech. ‘I wouldn’t ask my children to do this again because, when you run for higher office, it’s not just you, it’s your whole family.’
On what it’s been like since leaving the White House, she said:
‘It’s good to get out of the house. It’s been so far so good, it hasn’t been that long since we left but it’s good to not have the weight of the world upon your shoulders.’
‘Friends are surprised I answer the door now’, adding that her daughters Sasha and
Malia can actually open their windows now, something they could never do at the White House.
