But enough already. They're done. They're history. Much of what they tried to accomplish will be undone, as it should be. Your post says more about you than it does about Michelle Obama. I have no respect for either of them. But I also have no respect for those who just don't know when to stop gloating and insulting. Enough already.
As someone likely on the opposite side of the aisle from you (I disagree with your assessment of the Obamas), the class you've shown here is much appreciated juneau.

“I went to bed. I don’t like to watch the political discourse; I never have,” Obama tells PEOPLE, adding of her husband, “I barely did with him.”
Ok...so she went to bed early. I'm going to bet that a lot of people, especially those who didn't vote, also went to bed early. And probably a good chunk of those who did vote also went to bed early. When they woke up, they would know the results.

I just don't see what the issue is here? Not sure what the OP is trying to point out?

I stopped paying attention before it was called election night. I'm no fan of Michelle Obama, but there is no story here. Finish the rest of her quote.

I'm not a Republican, and I didn't vote for either of them (Hillary, nor Trump), but I think if this issue was important enough to anyone (it wasn't to me), then any such person should have Tweeted about the issue, tried hard to draw attention on Facebook about the issue, tried to get a question in for a town hall, etc. It doesn't appear that any such things happened. Why? Arrogance....complacency.....the belief that Trump had virtually no chance of winning.

If, re the future, people still have an issue with this....contact their local member of Congress and push that person to introduce legislation to either: 1. Limit the dollar amount that can be spent each year re protection of the President's 'One private residence designated for full protection per Secret Service policy' or 2. Limit protection for the President to full protection at the White House and full protection while traveling wherever he or she happens to go. Additionally, continue to organize and deploy protest groups, start a group on Facebook, etc.

Some people go to bed early because they have things to do in the morning, unlike many people in this thread.

She will leave the WH without any noteworthy accomplishments except for maybe coming up with a new recipe for Smores that nobody wants to eat.
Uneatable school lunches?

I really hope she does not go down the same path as Hillary.

I woke up at 5AM, debated about turning on the TV or checking online about election results, bracing myself for what I assumed would be a Hillary win. I turned on the TV, and after a few minutes, they mentioned that Trump had won, and Hillary had conceded. I didn't believe it till I checked online and found the same thing.
