The former first lady has always seemed bitter. But this only proves it.
And Michelle Obama insulted Americans during an insane interview.
Michelle Obama dropped a bombshell during her book tour stop at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, declaring flat-out that she’s steering clear of any presidential run because America just isn’t prepared to put a woman in the Oval Office. She pointed straight at Kamala Harris’s crushing defeat to Donald Trump in 2024 as proof of the nation’s alleged deep-seated s*xism.
“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” she told the crowd while plugging her latest book, The Look. “That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not.”
She didn’t stop there, hammering home the point that the country needs to mature fast. “You know, we’ve got a lot of growing up to do,” she added. “And there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.”
But Obama went further, suggesting that her own time as First Lady revealed America’s unreadiness not just for a female leader, but specifically for a black woman in that role. She revisited old grievances, claiming she faced intense scrutiny that felt racially charged from the get-go.
Obama ramped up her narrative by accusing even fellow Democrats of trying to tear her down once she started making waves during her husband’s 2008 primary campaign. She made it clear that the attacks came from within her own party.
“Let me be clear, these were our people who were going after me. This started when we were running against our party. The beginning of turning me into an angry shrew who diminished her husband, who didn’t love her country, who was unpatriotic…These people are lying. They’re making stuff up because they’re trying to win,” she said to the audience.
She described feeling isolated in the White House, forced to carve out her own identity without much backing from the team around her. Obama blamed it on racial dynamics, noting that the campaign staff were mostly white.
“So, I knew this immediately. And I knew this coming in as First Lady, that I was in charge of my story, my narrative,” she explained.
“I had to be smarter than them. I had to outsmart everyone and that came to everything I did, including what I wore.”
Her new book dives into this theme, focusing on fashion and beauty as battlegrounds for women in the spotlight. Obama argues that female politicians get judged more on their looks than on their ability to lead.
Yet, for all her talk of harsh criticism, Michelle Obama enjoyed glowing coverage from the mainstream press during her White House years. She graced the cover of Vogue magazine not once, but three times, becoming a media darling.
This selective memory stands in stark contrast to the treatment of other First Ladies, especially those who don’t fit the left’s mold.
Take Melania Trump, for instance—a genuine supermodel with a lifetime in high fashion—who got completely ignored by those same elite magazines, per Breitbart News.
Despite Melania’s style and international poise, the establishment media and leftist outlets snubbed her relentlessly, refusing to give her the red-carpet treatment they lavished on Obama. It’s a classic case of double standards at play.
Obama’s comments come at a time when conservatives are celebrating Trump’s triumphant return, seeing Harris’s loss as a rejection of woke politics and identity-driven campaigns.
Her remarks only fuel the fire for those who say the left plays the race and gender cards when they lose.
Americans are tired of being lectured about “growing up” by elites who’ve spent years in ivory towers. Obama’s words smack of bitterness, especially after the voters spoke loud and clear in 2024.
Ultimately, this episode highlights how the Obamas continue to push divisive narratives, even as the nation rallies around a leader like Trump.
