Obama said that she and former President Barack Obama could not have “gotten away” with “some of the stuff” going on in the Trump administration because the black community wouldn’t have let her.



quote:

When we were in the White House, we could've never gotten away with some of the stuff that's going on now, not because of the public, but our community wouldn't have accepted that. You worked. You did your best every day. You showed up," the former first lady said on her Spotify podcast this week. She added that black children from a young age are taught they have to exceed the expectations of white people. “You’re taught, you know, people are going to assume the worst of you. So, you’ve got to be better than, you’ve got to be 10 times better than,” Obama said.

That’s kind of at odds with an awful lot of accounts of Barry’s work habits/work ethic.

Projection refers to taking unwanted emotions or traits you don't like about yourself and attributing them to someone else. A common example is a cheating spouse who suspects their partner is being unfaithful.

I normally don't wish bad things to happen to people but some deserve it. Michael and Barry fall into that category.

Barry couldn’t even stay up while the situation in Benghazi was unfolding.

What has she ever done besides marry Obama that qualifies her to speak on anything of import?

Picking the easy one, there are many more, but hey Michelle, do you remember your husband weaponing the IRS against conservatives? I remember.

We'd be in the middle of another peachmint within days of something like that coming to light were it to happen not only under Trump but at Trump's direction. I will never forgive Paul Ryan for letting that die on the vine without so much as a whimper.

Forgive me, but can you even imagine the wall to wall fellatio every institution in the country would be engaged in if Obama had brought about historic Arab-Israeli relations as Trump has?

It would surpass anything we've seen in terms of media adoration of any President or public figure. There is no award or magazine cover he would not have gotten.

Actually, I'll go out on a limb and predict that any of our resident lefties would admit this if asked directly. It's so blatantly obvious I don't think they'd even attempt to deny the disparate treatment.

He literally got away with weaponizing the IRS to target conservative groups, using intelligence agencies to spy on an opposing party's presidential campaign, and letting his DOJ engage in a gun running operation that resulted in a US Border Patrol agent being murdered with one of those guns. And nobody in his administration faced any consequences from any of that.

I hope that I live long enough to see this insufferable count take her last breath. She is even worse than her husband.

She’s going to be worse than Hillary has been, what a bitter old woman. She continuously race baits every opportunity she gets. Never mind that she was treated as freaking royalty strictly because of a marriage. A do nothing woman running her mouth and we’ll have a media that plasters her every thought and word in front of us for the next 30 years.
