Even so, there have been a handful of awkward moments involving the former first lady captured by millions.
Here are the awkward Michelle Obama moments captured by millions.
“What am I supposed to do with this gift?
And everyone cleared out and no one would come and take the box.
And I’m thinking, Do we take the picture with [it]?”
Fortunately, Barack Obama saved the day, when he took the box and brought it inside.
So it comes as no surprise thatthis awkward exchangebetween DeGeneres and Michelle Obama hits a little differently now.
“You would’ve had to have done something grand like Harriet Tubman,” Obamasaid.
“You should have freed some slaves.”
Cue Joe Wilson, who screamed, “You lie!”
The former first lady, who pursed her lips in disappointment, was not alone.
It demeaned the institution."
Melania Trump, though, didn’t reach out to Michelle Obama, and the fallout was awkward.
Obama didn’t comment, saying that she wouldn’t judge the current occupant of the role.
Additionally, when Obama became first lady, Laura Bush made herself available to her.
As such, Obama extended the same courtesy to Trump.
“Has she reached out to you?”
No she hasn’t," Obama responded, the tone of her response riddled with tension.
“I’ve been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago …
I have to be honest and say that none of this was easy for me,” she confessed.
“Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger.
That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive.”
Now the expression she made throughout the inauguration day in 2016 makes so much more sense.
We love to see it.
But things went off the rails when people started yelling at Obama from the audience.
Obama ended up saying, “OK, I’m going to wait and let you finish.
I hear every word you are saying.”
“You guys are lively here.
New Haven, you are all fired up.
You guys want this to be a participatory rally?”
“Who else should I have come on stage?”
Body language expert Elizabeth Kuhnke broke down the meeting between the two women for theTelegraph.
She added that this conforms to the role she’s supposed to play: “beautiful and passive.”
So what, in contrast, was Obama’s stance during the awkward meeting?
Well, Kuhnke revealed that “Melania is a guest in Michelle Obama’s environment and it shows.”
It was awkward, it was tense, and it was definitely a power struggle.
The speeches, which can be seenside-by-side here, are eerily similar.
During the state funeral of George H.W.
Bush, the tension was apparent between the 45th president and the former first lady.
At the event, Michelle watched as Donald and Melania Trump took their seats at the Washington National Cathedral.
Donald greeted Barack, and after what felt like a significant pause, extended his hand to Michelle.
The former first lady “raised her eyebrows and shook the 45th president’s hand herself.
But she did not look thrilled,” according toNewsweek.
“Do you understand?”
You have one choice."
If one thing is clear from this, it’s don’t mess with Michelle Obama.
After a long pause and some awkward giggles from the audience, Obama responded.
“We had to pay for everything,” she said.
“That’s in the book.”
“I know you stole stuff,” Obama said to DeGeneres after the question was posed to her.
“I did,” DeGeneres said.
“I stole the napkins that were in the bathroom.”
When asked if DeGeneres still had the contraband, the host said no.
“What did you do with them?”
Obama asked with a more stern expression than not.
“I don’t know,” DeGeneres said, and the bit went on from there.
you could tell for yourself by watching ithere.
As such, the internet lost its mind.
As such, many took to social media to express their disdain for Obama’s choice.
