GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
gma.yahoo.com/
I just enrolled to go back to college TODAY to pursue my true dream of being an environmental scientist! Thank you to strong women like Michelle Obama for inspiration and being an amazing role model!
Stefania Czech never give up on your Dreams
Stefania Czech 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Stefania Czech good luck (:
Inspiration for marrying a bloke? You're crazy she's no inspiration try looking up to a woman that's made her own way in life and became successful! Not the Bleddy wife of a president! Really don't understand this American obsession with the first lady? No other country in the world cares or gives a fuck about who there priminister or president married because they are meaningless and have nothing to do with the job or position of power.
You are a good example Social interruption. Ill informed! Michelle Robinson Obama herself is successful (Read about her) However, she is operating as one, well balanced unit with her husband. You use the word "obsession", with the Obamas being the Best representation of this country in my lifetime, your word choice shows you're simply Green with envy. I will pray for you and your like minded fellows, that you be delivered from your condescending darkness to say and do complimenting things. Life in itself is challenging enough, no one needs nor appreciates anyone who stands in the way. Get out of the way. Keep your un-nurtured emotions in your own space. #michelle obama
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's wife copy this for her final speech.
8 years from now!
Sam VanHofwegen let's hope it'll be 4 years
+kyle0091000 It was her speech writer that did it without her knowledge or consent. Next time you accuse someone of plagiarism get your facts straight first, idiot.
Who made the choice to hire this plagiarizing speech writer then? Was it Obama? LUL
Melania didn't write her speech you idiot.
This First Lady, and her husband, have been the greatest source of inspiration to me for these past eight years. I am proud, defiantly and definitively so. They deserve all the thanks in the world.
Couldn't have said it better. Well done!
losepoundsandinches you know what? Maybe I would--Except--I actually like the way I look and am not, in fact loaded with insecurities about the way I look, thank you very much. And you know, if the only way you'll attempt to win an argument by insulting people's looks, you'll always lose.
Stop insulting this poor person. What did she do wrong? She was simply expressing her opinion and views. If you don't like Michelle Obama, that's fine. But please, PLEASE don't hate on people who think differently than you. It never ends well and it only causes tension.
She is eloquent but what did she actually do??? None of her supporters will answer me. They just think she's cool and that's not good enough and is downright dangerous.
@Dale white Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested :)
Thank you Mrs. Obama for always being bright, intelligent, articulate and brave, all the while doing so with grace and humility. I will miss you.
huh
Do you need GOOGLE translate? What part of his post is unclear?
Cyrus...Im sure the new porn star first lady will be a shining example...once she learns how to speak English.
PJ Reed I need Google translate.
I love your post.
Beautiful, classy, accomplished, and intelligent. You were a first lady every decent American would be proud of, Mrs. Obama.
Accomplished what though? Fancy speeches? Being black? I'm ecstatic we've had our first family of color in the white house, but what has she done to be proud of besides insult the ppl who dare disagree with her?
I know better than to respond to the typical assholes of UA-cam. They always seems to pop up on the vids of people they claim to hate.
first man
ERGSEG
Actually it doesn't matter if she is beautiful or not.
It is sad that you didn't mention her greatest assets: how natural, utterly charming, warmhearted, caring, humorous, highly educated and very eloquent she is.
*That* matters.
+Tan no, liberals are smart enough to not take the b8 m8
What a classy Firsy Lady. She will be missed!
Get the hell out here jackass. Michelle Obama has done more for girls and women around the globe than your fake plagiarizing future First Lady.
Mike Pelletier Awe! I see you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or did you bump your racist head. LOL!
Miss V You're so on it. Many people say they are looking forward to seeing Melania Trump as The First Lady. I guess it doesn't bother them that an incoming First Lady has posed nude multiple times and was working in the U.S. illegally during the 90's.
Mike Pelletier learn some new vocabulary you sound very ignorant and uneducated😉
Miss V: No class, and Michael Obama is no she!
I'm gonna miss the Obamas, from Northern Ireland x
Arch Awesome. Wow
Lotsoflovefromchloe i love northern Ireland 😉
Lotsoflovefromchloe To survive the next several years, I am just going to pretend the Obamas are still in the White House. That bubble will burst when I lose my health insurance, but I will at least not have doctors telling me the truth about my health because I will never get to see them. That will keep the tenure of denial going until we have a new administration, or I die. Meanwhile, I will watch videos such as this to feel hope in a hopeless place.
Lotsoflovefromchloe FUCK OBAMA THEYRE CORRUPT!!!
keep taking your medication
ughh no don't leave
why
And for Mr. Bill O'Reilly you are wrong. Entertainers are not boycotting Trump's inauguration because they are scared.
They are boycotting because of remarks. America is not about polarization. It is about inclusion. People are not happy with Trump because of his misogynistic and racist ways. He led a platform through his campaign that was quite discerning for most Americans. Your opinion that a transition should go over peacefully when millions are against this transition is problematic.
Do you remember Vietnam? Have you studied the Holocaust? Do you remember what Nelson Mandela went through? Do you
even care what LGBT rights are, and that we have now received the right to marry and get the same benefits? Do you care that
these reforms could be taken away from millions by a bigot? You sir are an idiot. People need to voice their opinions and fight oppression always. Donald Trump will oppress us as a nation and people that are mostly, obviously by 3.9 million, a good caring country.
nic
nick
A L wtf you have issues
yes first lady you defiantly made me proud and your gonna be missed!!! Thank you thank you thank you god bless
Mike Pelletier stfu you stupid racist piece of trash! I'm sick of idiot bigots like you! I find it funny how limited you and your kind are on vocabulary words. You see a black man and woman praised and it just burns your moronic ass up. In the words of Abraham Lincoln "Achievement has no color!"
Just curious other than her beauty and very eloquent words and even perhaps her color- what will you miss? I think the obama's have been a huge disappointment. I thought they had character but they just ended up like the rest of the politicians. I do give credit where credit is due tho- barack was the only president to tackle healthcare. It's not perfect but no first plan could be, but something had to be done and he took a shot. I give him mad props for that.
don't waste your time responding to those fools, just report the comment for abuse and hopefully he'll be banned
Laron Lemon I hear ya. But is the empowerment real and based on merit or just a backlash against years of oppression and becuz she's so pretty, eloquent, and yes black? She has an allure, an appeal to minorities and many young women I think but what is there to look up to as far as accomplishments? She told half the country that they don't have hope becuz the candidate she endorsed didn't get elected. Not cool! Says half the country goes low and she goes high! Come on! And she got caught on camera saying "all this for a damn flag" at a flag ceremony for fallen vets!! I, along with others, wept at that sting. So I'm honestly open minded. I want someone to give me some accomplishments of hers I missed but I can't find anyone to do so. Best regards sir.
Mike Pelletier dude shut the fuck up you peace of shit this is America we can say what the hell we want fucking trump supporter they don't give a fuck to what happens to people and go ahead write a something mean we are the people you all are the peaces of shit that need to go to hell
"And I hope I've made you proud," were her last words. Michelle Obama has been phenomenal motivator, leader, encourager, and role model, not just for young people, but for anyone who has taken the time to listen to her and take her message to heart. As she prepares to leave the White House, I realize how spoiled I have become at having her as First Lady. We have had gracious First Ladies before, but never one to match Michelle Obama. She has been "the whole package" and I can't imagine ever in my lifetime seeing her equal again. I will grieve to see her leave the White House. I hope she will remain active in public life. This country needs Michelle Obama. She is a national treasure.
One of the most influential first ladies.
Nah
Joseph Bargas 🖕🏻
At least she is a wife not a lier man
She speaks so poetically !! MAN! Michelle Obama is an amazing woman/First Lady/leader...I applaud her.
I'm from England and I'm actually crying 😂😭 even though I don't live in America, she will always be the most inspiring, beautiful woman I've ever known
She is amazing! She is comparable to Princess Diana.
SHE TOOK AWAY MY SCHOOL HOT WINGS.
Still love her though😘
I always come back here when I'm feeling blue and need some inspiration. 22:46 I miss the good old days when there were true leaders in the White House.
You are great without the words of this lier man
Thank you First Lady Obama for being an amazing, resilient, beautiful vessel of God!!! He is our HOPE and our HOPE must be in Him. You have done what NO other First Lady has......been accessible and real. May God bless and keep you and the First Family!! I love you!!! DC Brown.
😆😆😆😂😂😂
Vessel of which God? God almighty does NOT condone baby killing and gay marriage. Oh, and modern day slavery for a corrupt regime to do unlawful, hideous things. You need to stop drinking the kool-aid.
Jennifer Cooper If you are without SIN.....cast the first stone!!! Get your life right. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to agree with EVERY single policy or initiative of ANY President, including President Obama. They are exceptional people who in the very face of ADVERSITY and RACISM AND HATRED and complete LIES and FOOLISHNESS....ROSE ABOVE IT ALL. People like you are the ones God gave His Son to save. Lord help you!!!
Aaron Stephenson Neither do I!! when was the last SIN you committed against God??? and yes, the Devil is A Big Ol Liar if you somehow believe the Obamas are perfect or without flaws. God did NOT come to heal those in good health, BUT those who are sick. I STILL LOVE THE OBAMA'S and if you claim to serve the Lord, you should too!! Stop acting like you agree with EVERY single thing the people in your life do OR pretending like God is pleased with EVERY single thing YOU do!!!!
I'm not trying to be condescending or combative but what accomplishments? I really don't know any. She is cool as a cucumber and I think ppl get fooled by that. She seems so real and kind and down to earth but geez...she told half the country try that they go low simply becuz they disagree with her. I think ppl also just trust and like the woman becuz of her color and that's exactly the kind of racism we want to end once and for all. I guess I just hope for someone to explain to me something I'm missing or don't know about. Best regards.
Michelle Obama is bae.
Wallaby so Crazy
You mean a boy?
Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos I wasn't talking about your mother. Im talking about the beautiful first lady of the United States of America.
She is a gorgeous woman. But she has offended and disappointed so many ppl that she will leave being not fondly remembered by many. It's a shame. She seemed so lovely and then her true colors surfaced. She disrespected our flag- unheard of for a first lady! And now she's telling all of us that we don't have hope becuz a candidate she disagrees with won. That isn't American- it's quite the opposite.
Wallaby so Crazy: You like men? His real name is Michael. Obama has referred to him as Michael more than once. Look up on UA-cam!
The American Superman you wish it was Michael. This is a safe space if you want to come out of the closet.
She made me proud to be an American and I'm not even an American xD
TheShockedSock Lol!
Trust me you can have her. Half of us do not want her. Educated ppl in America look at more than pretty speeches. We look at policy and unfortunately for all of us obama will be remembered for failed policy.
Bill Stycklo yo mama
Thirtyone Solutions oof why you so pressed
She makes me want to be American..
Can't wait to hear this same speech from Caitlyn Jenner I mean Melania Trump in 4 or 8 years.
8 years.
The Lepherds cry some more cuckservative your tears r the best haha!
Hey Homie ya your probably as flaky like Bruce Jenner a disgrace to the US olympics
😂
Hey Homie 😂😂😂😂 dead @ caitlyn Jenner
I owe a great deal to the Obamas. I wouldn't be able to go to college without President Obama raising the maximum you can get with the federal pell grant. Michelle has always inspired me to peruse my dreams
@JAMES DURHAM U.E. do you know what a typo is you dummy?
peruse your dreams? i think you need more school
Gonna miss the Obama's: calm, intelligent, articulate, compassionate, inspirational!
Don't trip y'all, we'll be hearing the same exact speech in 4 years.
HAAHAHAHAHA
I love her. She should run for public office. She's amazing! She could be our first woman president. That would be awesome
"Michelle" is male. First drag queen president, maybe.
@@christafarion9 i voted for Obama his first term. But i cant bullshit yall and say Michelle is a woman. He most def is a man, and even Obama called him Michael on 2 occasions. the videos exist.
@@christafarion9 Your mom is a man fool
She hates politics and she has said this 50 times. She does not like how the parties fight.
I wish President Biden would have made her Ambassador to Canada or South Africa ( that would have been good on her resume),!
Your a total idiot. She had two kids!
The world needs more Michele Obama's. She's a true inspiration!
The first lady and President Obama represented the country very well and I'm so proud to have been a witness to their history.
Emotionally, I'm the woman in the glasses.
I am going to miss an articulate First Lady, who is well educated.
losepoundsandinches
Scared of the Obama ha?
GODS RICHEST BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB
Obvious you missed the word" DID" but thats fine i understand,iwas refuring to Mrs Obama,and i am sure the same will be said in years to come for the new Family,have a nice day
She is and will be the best first lady !!!
Mrs obama is brave and intaligan woman l hope she will be the first lady in unait state
So proud. Thank you Michelle and Mr. President. You will be missed more than you know!
Thank you for all you have done as First Lady.
Absolutely adore Mrs. Obama. Such a classy, empowering, strong and timeless beauty. One of a kind. This great woman will be missed.
Kylie Jenner the hell are u smoking?
AS an educator still striving to assist students as they thrive to higher heights I thank you Mrs. Obama and your team for all you did to make higher education cool....Thank You!
She is the best first lady in my lifetime. It only she continue to be so.
As a man
I loved the reaction of the lady in the blazer and blue shirt to Mrs. Obama's speech. What an incredible First Lady and an inspiration to all of us
LindsEy Kitchen right? I was thinking the same thing!
LindsEy Kitchen I must say she really enjoyed the speech and she is just full of smiles
She is probably thinking "how does he do it, I can't tell"
For the past 8 years, we have been a blessed country. The Obama's make me feel much more than pride - they make me feel hope.
and now with Trump you become hopeless???
Alter Träumer yep
I cried, this was so sad but empowering
Speaking from the HEART, no paper no rehearsal just pure Elegance and genuine LOVE.
omfg shes literally reading from a teleprompter you DOLT ahahahahahha
What a legend
This will forever be my favorite, most empowering video. Thank you Michelle.
Michelle is such an amazing inspiration to so many people! She is such an amazing soul, deserving of so much respect and gratitude. She thanked us. Us. The sign of the truly humble. Thank you, Michelle Obama, for your service, and everything you have done for our country. You will be dearly missed.
baaaaa. baaaaaaaa!
President and Mrs Obama have conducted themselves with dignity and grace in the White House. I'm so proud of this first family and will miss them, but wish them every blessing in their future endeavors.
I have never seen any other first lady who is intelligent, focussed, determined and with lots of guts. You walk the talk Mrs. President. Hoping to see you back in WH as the President. Regards from India.
Amazing women , you will be missed. Keep in touch with Us always, love from Canada
They natural joy that these people are expressing showed that they genuinely were proud to be apart of the educational system! Idk about now.
very beautiful speech
I wish every woman on this planet realizes that there is nothing more attractive, sexy, beautiful gorgeous and inspiring than a hard working, intelligent, take no bullshit from anyone, positive attitude bearing, kind and generous woman! I can't think of a single other first lady who could speak like this. What an inspiration!
The absolute best who has ever done it. How I yearn to have this type of compassion, empathic and inspiring leadership now.
We are going from a FLOTUS to a hotus. First Lady Obama will be missed.
I dont know why, but somehow if i am feeling sad or unmotivated to do something, I always open michelle speech and always got inspired by her . Thank you Michelle. You are really a great first lady. Love from Indonesian girl.
This woman is an amazing role model for all young women. Thank you for being who you are Ms. Obama. You Rock. (And I loved you in Carpool Karaoke!!!!!!!!!)
Your country has been so privileged to have such a graceful, intelligent, caring First Lady! Whatever gains her education initiative gave young people should be celebrated. Hopefully that education will lead them to question and investigate and speak out.
Oh my goodness, the joy on the woman's face (the one who says "Thank you!") when Michelle turns to her and responds "You're welcome!" is so awesome! (18:00)
pathetic
Powerful. That's someone I look up too, I thank you so much for your hard work, truly a class act
SHEEP
Thank you for sharing this! Gratitude, Hope, Focus
Still watching this in 2020... can’t stop missing her. Such an Amazing First Lady! Thank you for being so Incredibly inspiring but especially for being Human ❤️
Such a wonderful, smart, talented, beautiful Woman! I will miss her dearly. Thank you dear Ms Michelle Obama for sharing your brilliance with us for the last 8 years.
thats a dude bruh
@@DEV3N87 You are painfully STUPID and the epitome of ignorance!
Thank God Jan 20th 2017 is so near!
Mike Hunt
Who is gonna pay for the wall?
Going to build housing for Muslims I heard.
Mike Hunt no seriously, who's gonna build the wall?
musikal genius and how exactly are they going to reimburse us?
You are a determined serious Libertard I can see posing your rebellious stance to try and expose ones wrong as the used car salesman Obama has done for 8 long miserable years. Did I mention MISERABLE YEARS & DISGRACE? We can first get 400 Trillion back from Nato, Iran and China to start with for cash to build this wall. Building of a wall between Mexico and the US we are going to have to wait and see what the plan is.. Who built the Panama canal or the Hoover dam and the Great wall of China? It is very feasible to build this wall but expensive as one could plainly see if Concrete and rebar is used. On the other hand, the wall is not necessarily a solid concrete wall as one would automatically presume it to be. Trump's research and great knowledge of construction and the use of an executive order will guide him into the construction of a wall very similar to the Israeli wall to keep people out. Do your research and you will find this will happen along with some other major changes that will bring America back on it's feet again. My question to you is what has Obama done in 8 years to help America as he promised us? Please do not tell me Obama care because that will be squashed soon. Give me some strong powerful changes he promised that were accomplished in the 8 years of him and his wife abusing, b s ing, using the White house as a party favor and handing Muslim nations Nuclear power strengthening our terrorist enemy. 8 years of building Mosques here in the US, planting undocumented Muslim here in the US, neglecting US citizens as in Catrina, deceptively using news media to his favor and Giving out tax money away to Iran? While you are at it tell me what Hillary or your favor Bernie would have done better to help the US?
Michell's speech 10/10
Melina's lmfao we'll see
I’m watching this to give me strength in 2018. It’s still making me emotional and I can’t believe she’s no longer our First Lady.
I do not understand how anyone could dislike her speech. People seriously just like to dislike some videos to be negative. And that is sad.
Such a heartfelt and eloquently spoken speech! Education is near and dear to Mrs. Michelle Obama's heart, this family will truly be missed.
Kimberly Russ my Mom too
As will their wonderful, scandal-free administration! No criminals in the White House for 8 wonderful years! A wonderful blessing for your nation - a very well-respected couple admired throughout the world!
what a class act from beginning to the end. Thank you.
Michelle gave her last speech as first lady? For the first time in my adult life I am proud to be an American.
Yep yep!!
No matter where one's from or whatever doubts one might have on the political views: This woman deserves so much credits. Her sincerity brings me to tears. So inspiring. She is a powerhouse
As strange as it may sound ! I am going to miss the Obamas all the way from India x
We won't hear speeches like that anymore! He has class and is humble. Thank you for your service and best wishes.
Im watching this and im crying.. and i live on the other side of the world...such a great lady.
Pure elegance and grace. The definition of a strong intelligent woman. Much respect for your service to our country, thank you! America!
I look forward to hearing this again in 4 years
I can not believe that America is letting go this Lady I mean she's an inspiration what a beautiful last message
Ok but Michelle's OOTD from the hair down was amazing c'mon😍😍😍
She has class, she’s inspirational, she has a big heart, very educated, caring and such a goo leader. Nobody is perfect but in my eyes she was the best First Lady
Que maravilla de mujer. Que maravilla de discurso.
What a lady, she has been such a role model for me and many others. I will miss you, but I know you are ready to go.
I'm forever grateful for your service to our country! Grace, poise and class will always be the words that I use to describe you and your family. Most people don't appreciate a good thing until it's gone!
I'll miss you, First Lady Michelle O. From Palm Bay, FL.
I will miss them so much. say whatever you want about The president Obama and Michelle Obama you can't change the fact that Mrs. Obama has been one of the best first ladies in a long time. I have never see the White House so open with children and people of different races and gender and religions it's was a beautiful thing..and they will be missed 😢
Most stunning First Lady ever, so much of our generation, class, intelligence and so humble, she will be miss terrible but remembered fondly !
I love the lady in the back of Michelle Obama she is definitely a fan loll
you have touched the hearts of people worldwide thank you for all you've done you have done amazingly well by leading us all by example against all odds peace, love and god bless first lady
we have been very blessed to have 8 years of class, dignity, pride and most importantly, unity. Thank you Michelle and Barack for representing this country and keeping us safe. saying thank you is just not enough to a beautiful first family♥♥♥♥
Amazing! Classy! Inspirational! She’s just perfect... we miss her so much!
She's incomparably awesome. Her intellect amazing!
I know that she denied running for president but I still hope she will eventually!
She gives me back my faith in humanity. Michelle is awesome!
heartfelt and beautiful
Excellent speech
What a dignified lady. And what a way to end a tenure as First Lady, honoring the real men and women who make this country great. Our educators, and our children deserve it. Thank you First Lady Michelle Obama for being the best First Lady in my lifetime. Your true dedication will be missed. So don't go too far! *wink* *wink*
Damn Michelle's hair is fire. Those blunt, healthy ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's unfortunate that so many people won't receive the greater message because of preconceived bias.
What an inspirational first lady, - she will be so missed. Completely classy and always a delight to hear speak.
Beautiful speech ! Thank you for helping children , they need people like you!
That lady in the back with the short hair really likes Michelle haha.
Awww, she was a great First Lady.
We blacks are proud of you
I watch Michelle's speeches during these hard times for a glimpse of hope! Her wisdom, grace and authenticity is beyond words. I am proud to have been alive during the Obamas presidency and witnessed true leadership.
Greatest message I have ever heard.Thanks Michele for an a wonderful and powerful message.
How do people trash Michelle obama but praise Melana. Fucking how.
she look so beautiful standing in front of all those Caitlin jenners
38:07 The adorable Sadness (from Inside Out) in her little green sweater waiting to give her a hug.
Truly inspiring woman. America was lucky to have had you and your husbands support and love for so many years. Love from England❤
