Michelle Obama Combines SMUG with Victimhood in Latest Bizarre Reframing of Her Time as First Lady

Michelle obama has been everywhere you know trying to build her brand and try to build her very sad little podcast and she showed up at the essence festival and wanted to talk about a number of things how aggrieved she is yes you know that and also how amazing she is so she's aggrieved and amazing those two things always go hand in hand like she's incredible people don't understand her she's amazing people are racist she's spectacular she's got an annoying family pain in the ass daughters she's a great wife but she has an asshole husband i mean we could we could be here all day here's the latest installment of america you've disappointed me again sat 11. i remember the first big speech i gave in iowa it was packed i mean i was pulling more crowds than most of barack's opponents but it was interesting the more popular i became the more of a threat i became it was interesting that's when the articles started coming out i had been campaigning for more than a year and then it was this is when i understood like this is politics oh they're coming after me because i'm useful and they're trying to beat my husband so they're trying to slow me down right and some of those first articles they would always start she was wearing a purple sheath and she had on this pair of shoes it wouldn't matter what i said kiki the article would start with what i had on wow and i realized oh this is how they do women in politics this is how we treat women in public life we diminish them to just what they look like and not what i'm saving now i'm giving impassionate speeches i think people know now that i can give a speech that wasn't just that didn't just start happening you know i was i was always really good on the campaign trail i was always a powerful orator oh my god she is dripping in narcissism a dripping in it would you at least feign some humility i'm embarrassed for you you're actually not that great you're fine but you seem very scripted and artificial to me if i'm honest you don't speak from the heart it didn't you didn't move me at all at the democratic national convention you felt a little recycled and tired if i'm being honest um but just listen to her oh i was powerful and that didn't just start happening i was powerful from the start let me tell you something michelle the reason they wrote about your fashion is because yes you're a woman it wasn't to diminish you they do it to every female politician and it's not to diminish them it's because it's interesting it's part of your look it's part of your messaging they would do it to men too if men dress differently from one another but they don't they all look the same they all have navy suits on with red ties it's not interesting or we would cover it when your husband wore that tan suit we wrote about it oh that was our racism i forgot no if a politician dresses in a different way in a way that catches our attention we as the media we will write about it we'll cover it but they never do they all look like carbon copies of one another when it comes to fashion so it's boring but the women do tend to take more risks and then it gets more interesting it's fun to talk about it's yet another item about them that's expressive that says something as we try to get to know them or the spouse of a politician so **** off with this grievance nonsense you're not aggrieved it's not it doesn't make anybody a misogynist it's just something about you that caught the eye of people who are bored need to fill magazines or newspaper copy etc stop making everything an attack on you you thin-skinned person it's just ridiculous and by the way if she's so upset about our focus on her fashion why did she pose for vogue four times on its cover why did she just do a whole book about fashion why didn't she release a book on my policy prescriptions for 2026 america why where's that she wants to be known for her fashion but has to be on her terms you see she wants us to rate what style goddess she is for us to admire her bold colors in her you know fall palette but god forbid we just do that because our eyes brought us there we're racist or we're misogynist or we're trying to diminish her she finds grievance in everything this is what poor barack has been dealing with for 20 30 years now i mean no wonder the guy is so gray so prematurely no wonder the girls fled the coop and you never see pictures really with the four of them i'm sure they're so happy to be rid of this non-stop negativity negative nelly all the time um and you know like the self-aggrandizement with the the aggrieved nature and so but not for nothing we did go back just to see like what were they saying about her fashion at that time well i was there i was on the air i remember she she was beloved beloved by the press maybe some mild criticism over on fox but even the folks over on fox and i was there they were afraid to criticize her she was the black woman she's the spouse of this rising black star democrat of the you know of star of the democrat party and there was hesitance to go after her because you know people are afraid um so she did not get it hard are you kidding me like she didn't get it anywhere near as hard as is sarah palin got it um but here's what was written about her all right i'm gonna i looked up some headlines from 2007 here's vogue now vogue is a fashion magazine they you would expect them this is august 2007 all right it's a year before her husband will win the presidency and you would think vogue would be leading with whatever her fashion was since we were all so obsessed with it according to her here's the lead line iowa in spring a full nine months before the primaries but michelle obama is already at work on her husband's behalf the setting the chit and chat coffee shop in waukee population 9213 percentage of population that is white okay here we go vogue 97.7 the subject values hers and his i married my husband she tells the crowd composed equally of reporters and supporters quote because we share the same midwestern values keep your word work hard treat others with respect absolutely nothing about clothes that's vogue nothing talking about your values an implication that the midwest is too white and how hard you're working doesn't really feel like a racist misogynistic piece to me glamour again it's a women's magazine that's obsessed with fashion by the way the headline of that vogue piece was michelle obama the natural the headline of the glamour piece your next first lady question mark lead line i have to admit i was a little intimidated by michelle obama when i first saw her she was standing on the far side of a hotel conference room and i got the impression of a regal woman who has a model's height she's 5 11 and a classic understated chic but then she came forward extended an endless arm and broke out her fat her famous million dollar smile million watt smile she gave me a big hug as if we were old girlfriends and i felt as though i'd known her forever okay where's the in-depth wardrobe commentary i failed to meet to see it were you offended by the passing reference to chic which could mean anything is that are you upset with glamour calling you chic as they said you had a million watt smile and you look like a model and how radiant you were is that part of glamour's misogyny and or racism michelle april 2000 here's stephen colbert let's see what he had to say everybody wants to know they speculate on what kind of first lady a candidate's wife might be and if you would forgive me in saying so i think you'd be jackie l okay because and i hope i i'm hope i'm not out of place in saying this you're you're very good looking lady well well we found your misogynist we found him stephen colbert said you were good looking and like jackie o and by the way you're there in a short skirt showing off your legs with jackie o hair but that was because of our racism she would later tell us we were too racist to have her wear her braids that's why she had to look like jackie o so the only people we find making comments about your looks uh are stephen colbert who is a leftist uh a committed progressive as we know so maybe that's what's in your head michelle think about this in 2006 twenty thousand dollars equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot price at today's prices those 33 ounces would be worth about 165 000 that's why many smart americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals and that's why you should consider buying gold from birch

we move on 2009 the guardian america's new vogue for black fashion is all due to michelle obama so here we find one a leftist publication that wants to talk about fashion her clothing choices fuel endless segments on cable news and countless column inches in print and online an entire website mrs o has been set up to catalog every fashion move that michelle makes when she chose a dress from jason woo to be her inaugural gown it catapulted the designer to overnight success everyone is obsessed quote she's got an innate sense of how she wants to look it goes beyond clothes jackie o had it princess di had it michelle obama has it said edward and in full a top stylist and fashion director who works closely with the magazine it probably helps that laura bush who had michelle's job for the past eight years definitely did not have it though laura bush remained popular even as her husband plumbed the depths of national disdain she was never adopted by the fashion industry she wore variations on the same homespun fashions for most of the decade so who has the right to be aggrieved in response to articles like that is it you or might it be laura bush did you get the worst end of that or do you think it was the republican first lady you're i'm sorry this woman is a lying sack of you know what she's never seen a situation in which she's not the victim even though all the situations in she in which she most feels victimized are in fact complimentary of her she's like a mental illness with this person thanks for watching this clip if you're new here subscribe we got a
