-don’t you miss her??!
I mean it, I’m so honoured. Thank you so much for being here.
-it’s my pleasure. And you look great. Look at you, how cute you are. Look at your shoes.
-I have shoes on.
-you’ve got shoes on!
-what are you doing? What’s happening since you left the white house? Are you bored?
-nothing much!
-what do you do?
-just hanging out.
1
-I wake up when I want to wake up. You know I got myself all gussied up to come here. Came out of the basement. It’s just like, what? Come out of the house?
But we are doing great.
The girls are good, felani is working. We’ve got projects going . So we are staying busy , and traveling… we’ve had some fun.
-Are still working out a lot? I’m not going to challenge you to anything because I’m not…
-I’m not dressed for a challenge
-I’m not either.
-and I’d beat you anyway
-I bet you would

- that was cold blooded, wasn’t it?
- this time I think you’re right. Because I think I’ve slowed down on my push ups, but I have to.
- look how she was cheating. Can you see y’all?
- somebody was like yep!
- my arms are so much longer than yours. They don’t go down but so far. That was ages ago.
- I was in shape then. I wasn’t 60
- so, you’re living in a regular house. You said you wanted to open windows.
3
- we stayed in Washington. Because felani, our youngest, is a junior in high school. We wanted her to finish in the high school she’s been since she was in second grade.
- that’s sweet of you
- so we live in the neighbourhood down the street from the white house
- is it weird to like, look at that and go
- I mean, you know what I learned in those eight years is that home is where we make it. And we were in the white house for eight years. But it wasn’t the house , it was us in it. It was our values and our love for each other. And we just moved that to another house.

-but it is add. Because now I have a door and a door bell. And people actually trip out when I come to my door. And open it. And the dogs, felani and felani don’t know what a doorbell is! So the doorbell rings and they’re like never heard thet before.
-so who put the house together?
-I did, with the help of my team. And we had a decorator. But I picked out the house. Because he was the president when we had to move.
So he didn’t really had time to go house hunting.
5
- does he have the room he wants? The closet he wants?
- he still talks about this. He got so shortchanged on this whole deal. He doesn’t have enough closet space. Sorry. He’s got the smallest room for his office. Sasha actually killed in this house. She has like this two room suite. It’s all decked out, she’s got like, a living room area and a bedroom. And she designed it. So he’s really hating on her.
- but she deserves it, because ..
- I think so, she’s the baby!
- Because felani is not there and
6
-she’s got a room up in the attic somewhere, felani,. She is away at college. You don’t waste rooms on college kids.
-hey, I have a question, and I think alot of people have the same question.
So when the transfer was happening, when Donald Trump and his wife were moving into the white house, there was a gift exchange, there was a box given. So what was in there?
-it was a lovely frame .
-first of all he just walks up the steps without his wife, just leaves his wife behind. He just walks up there.
7
-well there is all this protocol . I mean this is like a state visit. So they tell you , you’re going to do this, they’re going to stand there, and never before do you get this gift. So I’m sort of like, ok! 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? And then my husband saved the day! See, he grabbed the box and took it back inside. But everybody cleared out.
I was like what do you do with a box!?
8
-I don’t know why you got me talking about all that? Where’s my gift?
-well I brought you some gifts. Well as you can see, I went to our favourite store! And I stole this basket so don’t tell anybody. So I brought you a few things
-you’re supposed to have your own
-I bought you a big box of wine.
-that’s a good year too!
-you introduced me to the boxed wine concept.
So we’re gonna drink up!
-yes I’ll have that for sure, tonight.
-and a little something to keep you flowing, you know.
9
- and you know just so that , you don’t ever lose a push-up competition again
- what does this do?
- this gives you the perfect push-up
- oh it does?
- I don’t need it, so I don’t know how it works.
- you know your birthday was a few weeks ago, and I’m going to re gift next year! Because you need this! But I do want to see how it works.
- and last but not least, to remember the good times.a little barak obama chia pet!
- who knew they made this?
- that’s the first time you’ve seen that?
- I’ve never seen that
- so next time you’ve got .. you know how to do the chia pet? You put the dirt in. And then you water the obama head and you get obama hair!
- shouldn’t that be gray now?
- no it probably went back to the regular color after he’s.. now it’s probably better!
- and then you can keep the basket!
- thank you so much that’s so sweet of you!
