Michelle Obama: 'Don't tweet every thought'
“You need to think, and spell it right, and have good grammar, too,” Obama said to laughs.Obama said that as a first lady, “Every word you utter has consequences. Words matter at this level.”
“You’re careful with your words. You’re careful with how you debate," she said. "And I think when you’re the first lady or the president, the commander in chief, and you have that voice, and that power, and that platform, I think what comes with that is the responsibility to know that every word you utter has consequences.”
“You can’t just slash and burn up folks just because you think you’re right,” Obama said. “You have to treat people as if they are precious, all of them, even the people you don’t agree with.”
