Michelle Obama Explains Viral Cough Drop Moment With George W. Bush | TODAY

Poor Jill Biden. She will be Donald Trump's forever seatmate.

"party, color, gender....do NOT separate us"

Michelle Obama

[lovely-mkrt]

I respect and admire Michelle Obama very much. Intelligent and a role model for all Americans 🕊

[dorisrosa]

She could make a tremendous President someday.

The Obamas and Bush eras both were presidencies and now former presidencies that act with humanity and dignity. I didn't agree with all policies of either, but I've always been proud they represented my country. Look at them, they are real, decent, and human, both couples. Can't say that about some others.

This went viral cause everybody has had their auntie give them peppermints as a kid in church

[toasted_.coconut]

I miss when there were functioning mature adults in the White House

I respect the 2 of them for reminding us that kindness towards others can be contagious! Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself? It's a real shame that politics have become so venomous, that a simple friendly gesture becomes headline news!

[iammewhoelse]

I feel bad for Barack Obama, he'll probably have to sit next to Trump or Melania starting from January 2021 for the rest of his life.

George did it again today at his dads funeral cute moment

[jayJ]

And you see how Barack is not bothered? That's what A secure marriage is

[jonathancineus]

You can tell Bush has grown and evolved since he left office. At the end of the day, we’re all just people. We change. We improve. And we can all get along.

[hase]

Mrs Biden's going to get a lousy seat mate bcoz of this protocol 😕

[robbuglass]

It’s hard to argue with her wise words .

[mr.kingofphenomenal]

Why can't people in this commet section appreciate this moment. What Michelle said is true. We shouldn't let party or race divide us. All of us must stay on same page and respect each other.

[sergiogarcia]

Many say she would make a great president, but she is too nice and graceful for the ridicule of holding such a position. Humanitarians are much more needed than presidents, word to Jimmy Carter.

[dorethafuller-evans]

Great woman very knowledgeable and kind.

[pinaopina]

Melania and Trump together wouldn’t be able to send a message like this even if the try their hardest. Because the don’t feel it. The have demonstrated it over and over.

[SOUTHAFRICANKNIFEGUY]

If she’s never going to run for president they need to make this lady a world ambassador or something!!! She easily outshines Obama through her sheer personality!

[teeynggod]

Former first Lady Mrs. Michelle Obama, She's a beautiful intelligent Force... Miss Her and President Obama at the white house...
