    Ugh.

    Ok... so honestly... I don't ACTUALLY think she was rolling her eyes at him. She's been in the public eye for years, the first black first lady in history... her every move and gesture is dissected and interpreted by the media. She has managed to make it thus far without being called out on anything other than the time Fox "news" asked if a fist-bump was a "terrorist fist jab."

    I really doubt that she would sit at the inauguration dinner next to John Boehner and give him some shade. She was probably reacting to something totally different.

    I just think it's funny.

    (and I honestly haven't been able to figure out how anyone could dislike someone who has two law degrees from Princeton and Harvard (only three first ladies have had those, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton) and then gave up a very promising career as a lawyer so she could be a mother.

    And her main issue is trying to help children learn about healthy eating. I mean... she's my mom.

    I always figured she was like Laura Bush... even if you were against her husband's policies... it was hard to find anything to dislike about her.

    I really didn't see an eye-roll...she seemed to glance sideways at him when he spoke but she was trying to grab a bite to eat...difficult enough with a lot of cameras on you watching every chew. ugh. It was probably the first thing she had in a while. :)
    Falling down,...not staying down

    Agreed Kat! AND we cannot see/hear what the President says over her right shoulder. She may be reacting to that as well.

    But it didn't happen in slowmo. It happened in real time. You can slow anything down and make it look bad.

    I wouldn't want to sit next to Boehner. Why should she?

    No way would I want what she signed up for, public eye-wise.

    But why on earth was this clip considered newsworthy and all over the place? People loved it for a reason, but I couldn't figure out why.

    Ugh indeed :P

    Had the other side done this, dems would be roiling in controversy. Her, “I did this for me” is laughable.

    Of course she has the freedom to do what she wants. But the expectation of the job being a former First Lady is to show up for a five minute inauguration ceremony. To say I needed to do this for me is absurd. and of course, I watch way too much msnbc, which is probably why I am becoming so alarmed with how Dems are processing facts lately. Not one of the first five people to speak brought up the point, had a republican former First Lady pulled this stunt…

    it’s all about me. When showing face to the nation, left right and center. Nice one, Madame First Lady. I’m still voting for your husband in 2028.

    I guess I'm not sure what you're bothered by about this? She didn't choose a life of politics and decided not to just go along with it because of traditions. It was more disgusting to watch Biden welcome Trump in like everything was normal. I applaud Michelle for saying no. Melania often doesn't show up for things, who cares. Quit spending so much time on the fringes, most normal people don't care about these things.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    As long as you were more outraged about Trump not going to Biden's inauguration, have at it. Theres plenty of stuff to get outraged about everyday, I'm surprised this was worthy of a top.

    But meh, I don't really care if she skipped. Its not really a function of the position.

    Oh sure, each side will make a story of things like this (Michelle/Melania).

    Michelle didn't attend Carter's funeral, apparently, due to scheduling conflict while on extended holiday vacation in HI. Is it a story? Sure, I guess. Does it matter? Not to me. President Obama was there to represent. Would it be a story if Melania skipped? Probably.

    She didn't attend Trump inauguration #2 for her own reasons. We can all speculate what they were. Personally, if it were me, I wouldn't attend based on "everything Trump," that she, her family and the country has been through.

    Speculation of problems in marriages, illness, etc is normal, unfortunately. It's not any of my business and I don't care, but clicks and eyeballs...

    I agree that’s a fair reply. But at best she is going down to his level. From the woman who gave us “when they go low?” I expect better from her. It’s five minutes. She is one of the most recognized democrats to the middle and right. Be better.

    and yes about that funny meme, I watch morning joe and Nicole daily for years, and is a one of the big reasons I am becoming alarmed how the left is responding to the trump crisis. They all just assumed MO was right here. No one dared pushed back 1%. The left is changing.

    She either was making a statement or simply couldn’t bring herself to fake her way through it. To me that shows character. Trump not showing up was being a baby. I couldn’t give two fucks what malaria does.

    First of all, these are apples and oranges situations (no pun intended). Second. Maybe you’re being hyperbolic, but it’s more than 5 minutes and I think you know that. Third, I think MO has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go before hitting Trumps level of low.

     This is regarding a specific act. The justification provided is she did what he did. Childish and low. Exactly the opposite of what she preached to us as First Lady 

    who are you to deny fact? Fucking yes.

    The outgoing President refusing to attend the inauguration of his successor (first time since an ill Wilson stayed indoors 100 years prior) is not in any way shape or form the same as a former first lady from 3 terms prior not attending an inauguration. And you know that.
