In a humorous Rolling Stone interview, President Obama bluntly says “ Michelle will never run for office.” (insert crying emojis). While he does agree with the rest of the nation that she has resonated with the American people, he goes on to say, “ I joke she is too sensible to want to be in politics.” At least we have 8 years worth of memories of one the most graceful first ladies ever.
