Michelle Obama Takes Victimhood As Currency to Another Level in Latest Interview
Red State ^ | 1 Nov 2025 | Bonchie

Michelle Obama really wants you to know she's a victim. That's been the theme for her over the last several years, whether it be during interviews or on her incredibly grating podcast. Most recently, speaking to ABC News "journalist" Gayle King, who is always chosen for these softball sessions for a reason, the former First Lady decried her time in the White House, claiming she and her family were given a "lack of grace" that other presidential families received.

KING: "We were all too aware that as the first black couple, we couldn't afford any mistakes." And you also say that as a black woman, "I was under a particularly white hot glare." Did you feel that?

OBAMA: For sure. You can't afford to get anything wrong because you didn't get the, and at least until the country got to know us, we didn't get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.

I'm sorry, what? I was alive during the Obama years, and one of the things that stuck out to me was just how much grace they were given. They could literally do no wrong. Every mainstream media outlet endlessly fawned over every move Barack and Michelle Obama made. They were plastered on the covers of designer magazines while journalists admired the creases in their pants. Every scandal was swatted in favor of endless jubilation at their presence in the White House.

Where was this "lack of grace" at? And are we to believe that the Trump family or even the Bush family received more deference? In what way? The Trump family has been dragged through the mud, up a hill, and back down again. Even the Bush family was routinely attacked in the press, including their then-teenage daughters....

From the article: ...at least until the country got to know us...

You'd think this grifter would be smart enough to keep her mouth shut because her husband:

-Has a fake birth certificate. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid his first name Barack. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid his middle name HUSSEIN. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid his last name Soetero. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid his "Muslim" faith. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid his college records. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?

-Hid the parentage on his two children. Which other candidate would be given a pass on that?


Got to know you and Barack, Michelle? The country STILL DOESN'T know you other than that you're grifters.

Seems like Imposter Syndrome - never thinks he/she is doing things right, doing enough, thinks everybody can see through the act. We could see through the act.

dust off that Nobel Prize Michelle. And don’t forget the eight year self censorship of night time comedians, who just couldn’t find anything to satirize about Obama.
