If we could make it... Obama@White House

September 08, 2022 10:10

Former US President Barack Obama at the unveiling of their official portraits at the White House: "When future generations see these portraits by Robert McCurdy and Sharon Sprung in the White House, I hope they get a better, honest sense of who Michelle and I were. And I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that if we could make it, they can do remarkable things, too."

Addressing guests at the East room of the White House during the official portrait unveiling ceremony of her and her husband, former US President Barack Obama, Michelle said that once our time is up we should move on.

"We hold an inauguration to ensure a peaceful transition of power. Those of us lucky enough to serve work, as Barack said, as hard as we can for as long as we can as long as the people choose to keep us here," Michelle Obama said.

"And once our time is up, we move on, and all that remains in this hallowed place are our good efforts and these portraits, portraits that connect our history to the present day, portraits that hang here as history continues to be made," she said. Her indications were about former president Trump , who had snubbed every tradition of a peaceful transition of power after he lost the 2020 Presidential election to Joe Biden.
