Still struggling to come to terms with the results of the 2016 election, former first lady Michelle Obama recently said shes concerned for women and how we think.
In light of this last election, Im concerned about us as women and how we think, she said at the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles. What is going on in our heads where we let that happen, you know?
Obama referred to Clinton as the most qualified candidate running for president in 2016, and said voting against her says something about where we are. Thats despite the multiple investigations, and of course Clintons uncanny inability to connect with the American public.
When the most qualified person running was a woman, and look what we did instead, I mean that says something about where we are, Obama added. The comments reflected similar ones made in September 2017, where the former first lady infamously said any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice.
Patriarchy wrapped in feminism never gets old.
Choice, according to Obama and her fellow feminists, has evolved to mean supporting Hillary Clinton or whoever the Democratic candidate is of the day based on your body parts. (Pay no mind to Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina, however.)
Although it sounds nice coming from celebrities and former first ladies (and comes with swag galore), doing what youre told is hardly empowering in fact, its oppressive.
However loud, the message hasnt worked. In the 2016 election, 52 percent of white women, 4 percent of black women, and 25 percent of Latina women voted for Donald Trump.
Today, despite multiple investigations, 52 percent approve of how hes handling the economy.
Sure, Trump is an imperfect human who has given women a reason to oppose him. But whether or not his allegations are justifiable based on a greater policy goal isnt up to Obama to decide. Its up to the individual something the feminist movement has forgotten.
As for her question What is going on in our heads? I cant speak for everyone, but jobs, tax reform, a strong national defense, and an educational system that works for all were a few items on the docket in 2016. And from the sound of it, these issues required far more more thinking in our heads than the decision to vote based on your body parts.
But as always, we appreciate the concern.
Always the collectivism and female solipsism. Get over yourself, M'antoinette.
She is more likely worried that there is a going to be a huge influx of Dems going over to the conservative side of the political spectrum. She is also much more likely to be concerned with her husbands legacy ending up in the dumpster. She is a has-been. History is not going to be kind to the Obamas or the Clintons.
“Obama referred to Clinton as the most qualified candidate running for president in 2016, and said voting against her says something about where we are.”
So, Hillary was the “most qualified” candidate in the 2008 Democratic primary too, by that measure. So voting against her “says something about where the Democrats were” too, eh?
‘:^)
Could be...
Take the eye liner, lipstick, and obvious female signals off that guy, and it would be even more obvious.
The Champions for Women, Hillary and Michelle, declare that women are stupid and easily-led.
With friends like that, who needs enemies? LOL.
moose knows nothing about women...how could he?
Besides Mike, your 'husband' was the least qualified President, ever. Are you saying that's a bad thing?
We know your retarded husband approved the spying on our candidate. You better be “concerned” for your own neck!
Excellent.
I’m tired of these commie assholes telling everyone how they should think.
DJT is actually just letting the plot play out - he likes playing the under-dog..
have you noticed how HRC’s posture has improved since she started wearing the back brace during her “Hate Trump” tours? It must be hell for her sitting so straight with that belly crumpled up...
What an arrogant wench. Shove off, Mooch. You’ve spent enough of our tax dollars.
I am concerned for her and women that voted who voted for Hillary and also any democrat. They are altogether on the wrong side of God. They support murder of innocent children. They support sexual deviancy. They support race baiting. The list goes on and on. Eternity is ever, ever so long to be swimming in a lake of fire and brimstone. Yes, I am rightfully concerned about them.
“Sure, Trump is an imperfect human who has given women a reason to oppose him.”
The writer SEEMS to be on our side, but they always have to get a little dig in there, don’t they?
Would we have EVER seen a sentence like this during 0bama’s Reign of Error?
“Sure, 0bama’s a gay, black, Muslim-worshiping man who’s very Citizenship is in question, with a beard for a wife and two prop kids and he wants to harm America, but that’s no reason for women to oppose him!”
