It seems like the Obamas are chasing summer, planning their next steps very carefully, hoping that after building their promising foundation, somebody else can “continue the work” so they can “retire and be with each other.”
Adding that during their retirement “Barack can golf too much, and I can tease him about golfing too much because he’s got nothing else to do.”
While the future for the presidential couple looks bright, Michelle is currently involved in some different projects, including The Michelle Obama Podcast featuring deep personal conversations, and her own Netflix’s cooking show, Waffles + Mochi .
