Michelle Obama utterly humiliated herself in primetime interview

The Obamas never seem to go away. But now they’ll want to crawl under a rock.

Because Michelle Obama utterly humiliated herself in a primetime interview.

Michelle Obama Whines About East Wing Demolition on Colbert

In yet another self-promotional appearance to hawk her new fashion memoir The Look, former first lady Michelle Obama used The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to lament the Trump administration’s decision to demolish the East Wing for a much-needed ballroom upgrade—revealing a tone-deaf obsession with personal sentiment over practical progress.

Colbert teed up the gripe by calling the East Wing the White House’s “heart” and now “lost,” giving Obama the opening to air her confusion.

“Every family, every administration has a right and a duty to maintain the house, make investments and improvements and there are plenty of things that needed fixing there, but the thing, it makes me confused,” Obama said. “I am confused by what are the norms? What are the standards? What are the traditions? I just feel like what is important to us as a nation anymore?” she added.

Embarrassing Meltdown Over “Lost” Norms

Rather than celebrate the White House’s evolution, Obama spiraled into a melodramatic plea about feeling “lost”—a spectacle that’s hard to take seriously from someone who spent eight years lecturing Americans on decorum while jet-setting on taxpayer-funded vacations.

“Because I am lost. There were a whole standard of norms and rules that we followed to a T, that we painstakingly tried to uphold, because it was bigger than us.”

“That East Wing, that is not mine. My feelings about that, it is not mine, it is ours. But we have to, as a country, decide what rules are we following? And who is to abide by them, and who isn’t? I am lost. And I hope that more Americans feel lost in a way that they want to be found again, because it is up to us to find what we are losing,” she added.

Nostalgia for Puppies While Ignoring Real Upkeep

Obama romanticized the East Wing as a feel-good escape from the West Wing’s “sadness,” conveniently glossing over the building’s documented structural issues that justified the overhaul.

“The West Wing was work. It was sadness, it was problems, it was the guts of the White House, and the East Wing was where you felt light. That’s where children came. We had puppies. I mean, literally apples, and it was important distinction, because West Wing team, they needed that break. They needed to come to a place where they could be reminded of the reason we were doing this,” she said.

She insisted:

“I never viewed it, we never viewed it as our house. We were there for a time. We had a job to do, we always felt it was the people’s house,” she said.

On NBC’s Today with Jenna & Friends, she kept the pity party going:

“There’s no guidebook,” Obama said of the challenges of being first lady. “There’s barely a staff. Now we don’t have a building.”
