Michelle Obama Unveils Portrait at the White House: ‘A Girl Like Me’ Was Not ‘Supposed to’ Be First Lady
Breitbart ^ | 09/07/2022 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 09/07/2022 1:43:58 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former first lady Michelle Obama indicated Wednesday that as a black woman, she was never meant to serve as first lady of the United States of America.

“A girl like me, she was never supposed to be up there next to Jaqueline Kennedy and Dolly Madison,” she said. “She was never supposed to live in this house and she definitely wasn’t supposed to serve as first lady.”

The former first lady spoke as she joined her husband, President Barack Obama, to unveil their official portraits at the White House on Wednesday.

She said she often wondered about who was responsible for creating the “supposed tos” in American life.

“Too often in this country people feel like they have to look a certain way or act a certain way to fit in,” she said.

“If the two of us can end up on the walls of the most famous address in the world, then again it is so important for every young kid who is doubting themselves to believe that they can too,” she said.

And when you think about it, my math stinks. Let’s say 75% of the time.

An air-brushed Aunt Jemimah in the White House......how long before they re-name the “White House”, because someone is “offended” by the “White” part?

I didn’t find it especially ‘trashy’, and at least both portraits are better than the previous ones we saw.

But his WH portrait is boring - it looks like a photo.

“A girl like me”

Big Mike speaks truth!

Btw, the portrait looks like a wookie in a ball gown

Let the memes roll

How many first ladies have there been? Approx 44? Out of how hundreds of millions of women who’ve lived in this country over the last 250 years? Let’s face it, essentially zero girls are “supposed to be first lady.” That Mooch imagines otherwise is little more than her own delusional mindset. Melania born in Slovenia was supposed to be first lady? Laura Bush working the library in Midland Odessa was supposed to be first lady? Hogwash.

Not sure about the full truth of that picture, but you may be right (about the athletic supporter).   (Or, if the picture is genuine, maybe it reveals that she has an unusually large anatomical protuberance.)

Is that first pic of her recent?

She's chunking out.

There is nothing feminine about Michelle Obama.

That's why when she and Barack were supposed to salute the honored military award recipients and Barack whispered "Hey, Michelle, salute now" and she said "I already am saluting."

Like when people allegedly (unproven) asked her for sales clerk help to reach the high shelf at a store. Funny and later but they say it didn’t happen. And she gave two versions to a reporter on TV.

Too right! Always has a look like she smells crap—and doesn’t realize that’s... her. Her “resting” look face is plenty pissed off. Cause Princeton for free was just “not enough”, nor was the job ValJar got her in chi-town== shifting poor patients away from high end private pay hospitals over to public health. Paid a premium as a lawyer for each patient she cost shifted.

Real nice biotch with an incredibly superior attitude, just like her “man-boy” mack daddy thing of a husband, them riding around in early days in a freaking VW bug the old ones. Had a name for them— can’t repeat it here, highly accurate for black socialists driving Folks-Wagons.
