I'll never understand how Michelle and Barack could have had such an incredible life and remain so humble and centered. Extraordinary.

I'm old school Republican, and her 2020, "Vote like your life depends on it" speech made me & my fam vote STRAIGHT BLUE! And again in 2022! #NeverTrump4Ever

I have heard a lot of people say derogatory things about her since she was in the White House. I never saw or heard anything she did to deserve the criticism. She is a brilliant woman with a lot of compassion and will go down in history as one of the top First Ladies.

Michelle is a top-tier woman rooted in class, wisdom, authenticity & self-assurance. What a gift & inspiration she is to the world. ♥️♔♥️

[Lelffy]

I realized that I had a big smile just watching her walk out and hearing the audience’s reaction to her. She reminds me of happier times. 💕

[alohadave]

I can't top the first several comments that I read. I'll just say Michelle is priceless. I absolutely adore her.

[franknemeth]

One of the best First Lady's ever and her husband one of best President's ever .

[shawandabarnes]

I 💜 this couple. They keep it real. No sugar coating. Unapologetically themselves. That should be a goal for everyone..

[rodddossantos]

Love how they didn’t cut to commercials with her.
Twenty-two minutes.
That’s some respect, and well deserved.
Here’s to our favorite First Lady. 🙏

[janettucker]

OMG she is so great. She really does exude light: clarity, intelligence, competence, compassion. I love our Michelle Obama.

[SirPolitico]

Michelle Obama has this incredibly relatable way of breaking down our individual and collective anxieties into ways of managing it and finding light to exit that trapping space. She’s too great for politics because she’s too busy being America’s guiding moral compass, a mantle I think she wouldn’t like to admit she possesses, but it brings me such joy and appreciation to live with that through books, podcasts and just all of it.

[willwestray]

Wow I appreciate her. I can't believe I get to witness her and her legacy. Everything she said was so on point. I needed to hear that today.. I hope people take notes from her because we all need it.

[newhorizonsforfifty]

"Fear is a powerful emotion. We need it; it keeps us safe. But if we overprivilege it, it keeps us stuck." Come through with that deep wisdom!

[Girlshine]

When Michelle speaks, it makes me glow inside. Articulate, intelligent, warm, engaging and authentic. I could could listen to her all day.

[bonnieuk]

She is the epitome of everything that is good about America. .. from a concerned Englishman in the UK.. the world is in a mess, but we can get through this.

[susanletcher]

I have so much love and respect for Michelle Obama. And that little "awww" when he put up the wedding picture... what a joy. I feel lucky to be sharing a planet with her. Thanks for carrying the light, Michelle!

[rosejustice]

Michelle Obama describing doing art projects as a family is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever heard! I want to see how far she has progressed in her knitting. She is a beautiful woman, a loving mother, and a kind & supportive spouse. So glad that she represented us for 8 years on the World’s stage. She is a gift! ❤️❤️❤️

[jaynorris]

Michelle is simply pure class. She keeps it simple and real. Fantastic lady.

[bsee]

One ☝️ of the best, intelligent, empathetic, inspirational First Lady’s we’ve ever had!

[rhondaroberts]

I just love everything about her. No pretenses just a beautiful humble soul.
