Michelle Obama’s Criticisms and the Political Landscape

Former first lady Michelle Obama was recently in the the news again with another grievance. In an interview to promote her new book, “The Look,” Mrs. Obama complains again. When asked about running for president, Obama claimed that Americans “aren’t ready for a woman president,” and have “a lot of growing up to do.” Last year, Michelle Obama campaigned for Democratic presidential nominee then-Vice President Kamala Harris. During a speech in Michigan, Obama called Harris “extraordinary,” and wondered aloud, “why on earth is this race even close?” She also asked whether “as a country, are we ready for this moment?” These comments are stated as part of her discussion. The article notes that two of the last three Democratic Party presidential nominees have been women. The stage is certainly set for the right female candidate to become president. This victorious female candidate who will make history will never be Michelle Obama. There are several reasons for this prediction, but, primarily, she has refused to display any appreciation for this great country or all the many benefits she received for being married to Barack Obama. Incredibly, Michelle Obama offers a steady stream of complaints about the American people and how she has been treated in her life. As first lady, Obama said she was under a “particularly white-hot glare,” and grumbled that her family ” didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.” Of course, that complaint is ludicrous because Barack and Michelle Obama were treated as royalty in America. They received fawning media coverage from the very beginning. Those who pushed too hard and asked tough questions were labeled “racists.” Yet, Michelle Obama claimed that the “we were all too aware that as a first Black couple, we couldn’t afford any missteps.” The Barack Obama presidency was nothing but a series of “missteps,” but he not only won reelection, but he also completed his two terms without any impeachment hearings. Barak Obama could have been impeached over any number of scandals in his presidency: —The disastrous Benghazi attack on our consulate. —”Fast and Furious” gun running operation. —The Internal Revenue Service improperly targeting Tea Party organizations. Instead of impeachment, Barack Obama received a pass from Republicans in Congress, who were too timid to push for thorough investigations and feared being called “racists.” In contrast, President Donald Trump was impeached for a “perfect” phone call to Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy and for a speech on Jan. 6, 2021, in which he called for his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” at the U.S. Capitol. Trump was not responsible for the violence on that day. Instead, he wanted more National Guard troops for protection, and his requests were denied. The president’s wonderful wife, first lady Melania Trump, has also been mistreated. Despite her history as a world-renowned fashion model and being recognized globally for her beauty and accomplishments, Mrs. Trump was never invited to be photographed for the cover of Vogue magazine. However, the perpetual complainer, Michelle Obama, graced the cover of Vogue three times. Not bad for someone who whined that she did not “get the grace” those other first ladies received. Michelle Obama has been criticizing her country for years. In February of 2008, as her husband was on the path to the presidency, she said that “for the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country.” Thus, she was only proud of America because her husband was succeeding politically. In 2019, at a leadership conference for the Obama Foundation in Malaysia, she said that the United States was “still not where we need to be . . . when it it comes to race.” Even though her husband had been elected twice as president, Michelle Obama said, “People thought electing Barack Obama would end racism. That’s four hundred years of stuff that was going to be eliminated because of eight years of this kid from Hawaii. Are you kidding me?” The “kid from Hawaii” is a particular source of Michelle Obama’s complaints on her podcast that she hosts with her brother. She’s often denigrating or ridiculing her husband on the show. This seems disrespectful for no one in America would know anything about Michelle Obama if not for the “kid from Hawaii.” Even though she is ungrateful, Barack Obama has been taking care of his wife for many years. After his political stock soared in his home state, then-Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich said he was asked to make phone calls to the University of Chicago Medical Center on behalf of Michelle Obama. She eventually was hired in 2002 and served in several roles, including vice president for community and external affairs. In that position, she was paid $317,000 before taking a leave of absence to campaign for her husband. Among her responsibilities was “neighborhood outreach,” remarkably similar to her husband’s famous position as “community organizer.” Michelle Obama was paid very well for “neighborhood outreach,” and, despite her many complaints, has been treated very well by the country she seems to despise. © 2025 Newsmax.
