Co-anchor Robin Roberts asked the former first couple to describe their next chapter in one word during a candid segment about their lives after the White House. Barack Obama responded first.
“It’s fun,” she said.

Commentator and TV personality Danny De Urbina criticized Michelle Obama’s response to the post accusing her of selfishness.
“So, if you didn’t know this… Michelle Obama is very selfish,” De Urbina said.
“Many people’s intelligence can be measured by the degree to which they are able to think about the world around them instead of thinking about themselves,” said De Urbina. “This is the exact narcissism that has plagued our suicidal ruling class for decades.”

The ABC interview focused on the Obama Presidential Center, a 19.3-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side that includes a museum, public spaces and a replica of the Oval Office.
“As a result, a little girl born on the South Side of Chicago and a mixed race child, you know, born in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, you know, can end up being part of the process of building and improving the greatest country on Earth,” Barack Obama said.
