Over the weekend, Michelle Obama sat down with Tracee Ellis Ross for the United State Of Women Summit and discussed everything from the men who are currently failing up in government to finally putting to rest the fact that she’s not running for office.
The forever First Lady responded to an audience question asking why she doesn’t have any plans to run for office, and she succinctly explained why.
“Well, that’s a whole other story because, that’s not the answer either. And when I hear people say, ‘you run,’ it’s part of the problem. We still didn’t get ‘yes we can’ right,” she said. “It’s not ‘yes you can,’ it’s ‘yes we can.’ And until we get that right, it doesn’t matter who runs.”
Mrs. Obama went on to say that trying to find a unifying president is a distraction, and not one person is going to be able to save us.
“Change starts close to home. So looking for the next person to run … I don’t mean to cut that off, but that’s been our distraction,” she said. “ ‘We’re going to wait for the next person to save us.’ We thought it was going to be Barack Obama, but he didn’t end racism.”
