Michelle Obama jokes living in the White House prepared her for quarantine
By Cameron Jenkins - 03/23/21 03:41 PM EDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=w_MnonyOAxEFormer first lady Michelle Obama joked this week that living in the White House for eight years prepared her for quarantine conditions under the coronavirus pandemic.
During an interview on Monday night's episode of "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah asked Obama how her life has been since leaving the executive mansion four years ago. Obama described feeling more at peace and having a weight lifted off of her shoulders before saying how confining living in the White House could feel at times.
"Living in the White House is like living in a nice older hotel, where you can't get out unless you call 20 people," she said, describing all the scheduling that went behind coordinating Secret Service and road blockades in order for her and former President Obama to be able to travel.
"It almost feels like you were living a sort of quarantine life before all of us were," Noah noted.
Obama agreed, saying that quarantine has not been that different from the restrictions she and her family previously lived under.
