FULL TITLE: Michelle Obama Claims People Dismiss Presidency After Barack: ‘If a Black Guy Can Do It, Anybody Can’
In a Saturday interview, former first lady Michelle Obama insisted that Americans now dismiss the U.S. presidency because a black man was recently in the office.
Speaking to TV host Gayle King during the 2019 Essence Festival at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Obama exclaimed that husband Barack made the presidency “look too easy,” Fox News reported.
“I guess it’s kind of like if the black guy can do it, anybody can do it — and that’s not true. It’s a hard job,” Michelle told the crowd.
Obama also reminded the audience that she was often portrayed as “an angry black woman who was emasculating her husband.” She added that America is afraid of “the strength of a black woman.”
Indeed, it was Michelle Obama who said that she was never proud of America until her husband became the Democrat nominee.
Just before the Wisconsin primary in 2008, Michelle was attempting to introduce Barack at a rally when she said that with her husband on the fast track to becoming president of the United States she was finally proud of America. “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback,” she said on the stage.
At the Essence Festival, the former first lady also took a swipe at President Trump, though she did not mention his name.
“The leader of the free world with a tweet can start a war, can crush an economy, can change the future of our children,” she said. Obama then insisted that the president must have “deep seriousness and focus… with a clear base of facts and ideas.”

All it takes is money. Zero had zero record of accomplishments to have been elected.
Yes, it’s all about the race with Michelle.
How about the fact that he sucked as President? He didn’t suck as a black President. He just sucked at being President.
0bama is but a unAmerican Halfican.
Just when you thought these fools couldn’t get anymore irrelevant...
Geez, are these people for real?
Do they just make stuff up?
Have any of you ever heard anyone say, well, since a black man can be president, anyone can do the job, implying it’s a simple task????
After BOTH parties cooperated to violate the Constitution it is still an open question if the Republic can survive.
As always, eye/mind wash for articles about Michelle.
I just checked ‘hubris’ in my dictionary.
Guess whose picture showed up!??
I think she is planning to run as the savior of the party by getting herself nominated on the convention floor.
Good damn thing for us that Obama was basically shiftless and lazy. He did enough damage to the presidency as it was.
“Obama exclaimed that husband Barack made the presidency “look too easy,” Fox News reported.”
Yeah, doing nothing is generally pretty easy.
What is her problem?
Barry had two presidencies.
That’s still not enough approval to believe in this country?
Big Mike bores me.
I think Obama was very successful, Black/White or indifferent, he made Jimmy Carter not the worst that ever was. That wasn’t easy for anyone. He worked his azz off to do it.
