As President Trump tweets about canceling the election and the pandemic’s death toll rises, it can feel both soothing and painful to recall the last administration to sit in the White House. Of course, the Obama administration was not perfect, but wow, remember when it was unthinkable for a US president to publicly suggest not holding an election? Remember how that now-halcyon time was less than four years ago?
Into this moment of profound nostalgia for pre-2016 election comes The Michelle Obama Podcast, now streaming exclusively on Spotify. Obama interviews celebrities, close friends, and family members, and talks about her own life and the issues that are important to her. In the first episode, which dropped July 29, she interviews her husband, Barack, about marriage, community, and the value of public service.
The Obamas don’t say anything particularly earth-shattering together. The general thrust of their conversation is that the US’s culture of individualism is unsustainable, and that it is important for people to be invested in serving their communities and in making sure the government serves them. They talk about the way everyone looked after everyone else’s kids in the neighborhoods where they grew up, and how giving back to one’s community is the key to happiness. And they do it all with their characteristic combination of warmth and reason.
“One of the reasons I fell in love with you —” Michelle Obama begins early on in the interview.
“It was just because of my looks,” Barack Obama interjects jokingly.
“No,” Michelle responds shortly. “I mean, you’re cute, but no. But one of the reasons I fell in love with you is you’re guided by the principle that we are our brother’s and sister’s keepers. And that’s how I was raised.”

Oh, it would be fun if she interviewed some of his childhood and high school and college classmates. I’d watch that. It would be like a ten second episode.
Just seeing them makes me want to puke, Constance.
Barf bags galore!
The gist of what they said...”US’s culture of individualism is unsustainable, and that it is important for people to be invested in serving their communities and in making sure the government serves them.”
Commies thru and thru
In other words, serve the state.
Funny how during the 08 and 12 campaigns we seemed to never hear from any of them. No best friend. No girlfriend. Nothing.
The Michelle Obama podcast is a direct contribution to the Biden campaign and should fall under FEC regulations.
“...the US’s culture of individualism is unsustainable,...”
So should NPR.
Yep.
When the riots erupted in MO from the shooting of Trayvon Martin.. obama had already been involved in 2 before that one.... he urged them to riot and he also called off the police... let them tear the town down...
And looking back, he wanted the riots.. he wanted to ‘fundamentally change the United States”.. and riots .. disturbance... messing up cities and preventing police from stopping it...let it go on and on.
So the past weeks.. it has been going on and I’d guess soros is not the only one involved in destruction of cities where they can get a foothold...
I don’t trust barry in ANYTHING... ANYWHERE... with ANYONE.. He’s on the side of evil and nothing good will ever come from him.
I’d rather crawl naked through nettles.
In case you’re uncertain about who Biden will (be told to) pick for VP.......
So what’s the name of her podcast - “Tuesdays with Michael”?
The only place I’d hang with ‘Big Mike’ would be in a Target and then only if I needed to get something from the top shelf
Ladyboy surprise
