In non-traditional fashion, the Democratic National Convention kicked off last night (August 17th) virtually. Former House Representative and CNN commentator Bakari Sellers called into The Morning Hustle to share his thoughts on Day 1 of the convention, what else we should expect, and of course, the brilliant speech from Michelle Obama.
Obama’s speech was over 15 minutes long and featured a number of stirring moments. But this one in particular illuminated just how out of his depth the Orange Oaf really is. “Whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy,” she said.
Before the conversation started, Lore’l mentioned how she would love to see Michelle Obama run for president (like most of us), and at the 1:35 mark in our conversation, Bakari bursts all of our bubbles by reminding us all that we will probably never see Michelle Obama run for office, because she HATES politics.

Happy Birthday, Michelle Obama! Here Are 15 Times Our Forever FLOTUS Defined Style And Grace
Our Forever First Lady Michelle Obama is celebrating her 56th birthday today. Never in the 45 presidency terms have we ever been graced with such a beautiful, classy Flotus. Some have come close, but there has never been a woman that unifies the entire nation with such a positive attitude.
Michelle Obama’s style has always been so regal. During her tenure as First Lady, she used her platform to highlight designers of color. She had the power to have designers sell out of clothing because the public would go into a frenzy to purchase her latest outfit. Let’s not forget her ability to steal the show during those black tie galas she would attend. From the hair on her head to the stilettos on her feet, our Forever Flotus made glamour look effortless.
