Obamas take subtle swipes at Donald Trump in Michelle Obama's first podcast

Michelle Obama’s debut podcast featured what appeared to be a slew of subtle swipes at President Donald Trump.

The former first lady interviewed her husband, former President Barack Obama, for the first episode of “The Michelle Obama Podcast” that Spotify released.

During the conversation, Barack Obama acknowledged that often the only time young people know what government is doing is when something goes wrong.

“So we’re getting a good lesson in that right now,” he quipped, in what seemed to be a ding at the Trump administration.

“Exactly,” agreed Michelle Obama. “If people are paying attention and they understand what’s missing. Not having a public health system that takes care of people whether you are working or not, that takes care of you whether you have preexisting conditions or not. Unemployment, Social Security; all of the things that sort of keep people going when the chosen path doesn’t work.”

Barack Obama lamented that young people have grown cynical about government and now channel their idealism “outside of governmental structures and outside of politics.”

“The problem is again we’re getting a pretty good lesson in that right now there are just some things we can’t do by ourselves, or even groups of us can’t do by ourselves,” he said. He cited the coronavirus pandemic as an example of something that depends on collective action.

Trump and his administration have been widely condemned for failing to control the outbreak. The president has downplayed the seriousness of the pandemic, promoted unproven treatments, mocked people for wearing face masks, pressured states and schools to reopen, and terminated the United States’ relationship with the World Health Organization.

When the exchange turned to Barack Obama’s optimism, Michelle Obama teased her husband as the “Yes We Can man,” a reference to his 2008 campaign slogan.

We are so blessed to have such a classy, elegant and patriotic first couple currently in the White House, doing their best every day to make our lives better.

Especially when you consider they could be enjoying the lap of luxury without all the daily harassment.

Thank God, The Trump Family cares about our future!!

Praying they remain at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for another four years!!

You just said it all. I join you in those sentiments. We are so very fortunate that President Trump was elected, and may he have another four years to continue to “Make America Great Again!” :)

If I were Barack Hussein Obama or Joe Biden, I would be hiding out somewhere in “Never, Never Land”. AG, Bill Barr & the DOJ/FBI are about to make life miserable for the both of these two Traitors & Turncoats to the USA!!!

When Comey, Clapper & Brennan, etc.,...get nailed, as they will...all three will sing to heaven as to where & when they got their direction of treason from,..period.

Folks.....the one time Democrat, Ex-POTUS, “Magic Negro”, Barack Hussein Obama has lost all his Magic and Ex-VP, Democrat, Sleepy Joe Biden never had any magic whatsoever to begin with!!! Both these gents are criminals from head to toes!!!

VOTE for POTUS, Donald J. Trump to be re-elected to POTUS, 2020!!!

The bloody twit Obama the biggest failure ever to hold office has zero right to blame anyone about anything.
He failed at everything he did and he’s still at it fools never learn by their mistakes.
