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.”

“What a racist little thought”
I’m white so all facts are racists, like saying Obama had zero accomplishments.
I guess. I wonder what that style is called — “Homeless Cat Lady Living Under a Bridge?”
It is apparently easy to lead a country into socialism as so many have done it: Castro, Chavez, Maduro, Hitler, Pol Pot.
It is creating and/or sustaining a capitalistic country which requires talent, brains and grit.
But he couldn’t do it, and he proved that for eight years.
She checking to see how many crazy people would vote for someone who’s only experience is vacations ,LOL
My university graduation class had comedian AND candidate for President Pat Paulson as its commencement speaker.
I didn't go to the speech, though, just my school's graduation ceremony.
McCain, Hillary, and Romney all have one thing in common, they were all beat by an illegal Kenyan fag

“Michelle Obama insisted that Americans now dismiss the U.S. presidency because a black man was recently in the office.”
Jeeze. Ten thousand comedians out of work and this frumpy beast is trying to be funny.
Trouble was that that particular (inept, untalented, and dishonest) black guy couldn’t do anything except lie.
Sorry, Mooch, but virtually every black I’ve had the pleasure to know (PhDs real ones, not silly lib arts crap, and fighter pilots) were damed talented.
Your wimpy little ball-less husband wouldn’t even qualify to be a janitor.
Heh heh. Her first defiant act as President would be to stop shaving her face.
Who dat always bringing up race? Racial this and racial that. Ain’t the conservatives.
She just described the whole lineup of democratic party candidates for president. That’s what she was referring to.
I suppose it’s easy if you do nothing!
it’s more like if an Islamist can do it anybody can make their way to the cockpit
This was completely, a first for me as well.
Should have been “hairless gorilla”.
That “naked” part might drive me to hang myself.
