Michelle Obama has once again gone on the record to confirm that the prospect of another Obama in the White House is very much a pipe dream.

Appearing on Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast this week, the former first lady dismissed the persistent rumors she’s considering running for president in the future as “unthinkable.”

“When people ask me, would I ever run? The answer is no,” she said. “If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids make when their parents are in that role. Not only am I not interested in politics in that way, but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves ... I think we’ve done enough.”

As if to preemptively silence those who might still be holding out hope, she added: “Question asked and answered, never gonna happen.”

Listen to Michelle Obama’s “Not Gonna Lie” chat below. Her comments about the possibility she’ll run for office begin around the 25:46 mark.
