At the Simmons College leadership conference in Boston on Thursday, former first lady Michelle Obama praised her husband’s presidency while taking a veiled swipe at the current occupant of the White House. She said that her husband’s administration was “like having the good parent at home.” In Michelle Obama’s warped view, her husband filled the national role of a “responsible parent, the one who told you to eat your carrots and go to bed on time.”
This analogy is ridiculous as a “good parent” would not practically double the national debt, socialize healthcare, unconstitutionally grant amnesty to illegal aliens and disregard the readiness level of our military forces. This “good parent” pulled troops from Iraq too soon, which led to the formation of ISIS, and totally bungled a military intrusion into Libya, which led to the terrorist attack at our compound in Benghazi and the death of four brave Americans.
After the disastrous reign of the “good parent,” Americans were obviously ready for another type of “parent” and had the good sense to elect Donald Trump as President. In her remarks at the conference, Obama laughably implied that Trump was the “other” type of parent that allowed Americans to “eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.” Her clear implication was that while it may feel good to choose this type of a leader, the country will pay a terrible price for splurging on these unhealthy Trump induced habits.
Of course, Obama’s biased analysis was the result of wishful thinking and pure fantasy. In reality, President Trump is the “responsible parent” leading the country toward sane fiscal, trade, immigration and military policies. This President is the one who is finally dealing with the longstanding problems plaguing America such as open borders, horrible trade deals, high corporate taxes and a declining military.
During the Obama years, these crises were ignored, so no action was taken, and the problems worsened. For example, President Trump inherited from Obama a nuclear armed North Korea, an ISIS terror threat and military readiness crisis. A truly “responsible” parent would not have left such a miserable set of problems for his successor.
In her comments, Michelle Obama did share some truly wonderful news. Thankfully, she expressed no appetite to follow in her husband’s footsteps and run for President. She said, “I don’t want to be president; I don’t think I should be president; I think I can do a lot of things, but that’s not one of them.” For millions of Americans, this reassurance was quite a relief, as one Obama presidency is one too many.
Not surprisingly, she also extolled the virtues of 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who was the only candidate pledging to continue Barack Obama’s policies. She labeled Clinton the “best qualified candidate” for President who “wasn’t perfect, but she was way more perfect than many of the alternatives.”
Yes, she was “perfect” for Republicans, who campaigned against her record of incompetence as Secretary of State. The Trump campaign also reminded voters of her missteps and lies regarding the Benghazi terror attack and her mishandling of classified and top-secret email communications.
Only in the mind of a far-left Democrat like Michelle Obama would Hillary Clinton be the “best qualified candidate.” This statement should have been part of a comedy routine, but, incredibly, Michelle Obama was being serious.
To the chagrin of Democrats, Hillary was a terrible candidate who lost, despite enjoying tremendous advantages over Donald Trump. In the 2016 presidential campaign, her political war chest was stuffed with donations from insiders who were convinced she would win. Facing Trump, Hillary had the national news media on her side and their coverage of her pathetic campaign was universally positive. In contrast, Trump was savaged by the liberal news media on a daily basis. In spite of these disadvantages, Trump won a 30-state electoral vote landslide over Hillary. Presumably, Michelle Obama believes that Americans were idiotic to reject the “best qualified candidate.”
Thank goodness the voters turned away from the policies of the “good parent” and did not elect the “best qualified candidate.” This fateful decision upset Michelle Obama and liberal Democrats, but it was an incredibly courageous choice in the face of horrific media bias. In fact, it was one of the wisest electoral decisions of all-time for the 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump actually saved America
She sucks. Pure and simple. Should have never ran. She sucks.
She was clearly the essence of evil and lust for power over other people. What kind of people could support that?
Sorest loser too!
If she had, maybe Bill wouldn't have sought out other forms of entertainment
First we have Michael Obama as a whiny bitch FLOTUS.
Then we have Hillary Clinton as a whiny bitch Dem POTUS Candidate.
No we have Michael Obama back as a whiny bitch ex-FLOTUS.
The only good news recently is we no longer have to endure the Kennedy “mystique.” It seems to have FINALLY dried up and blown away.
Jeff is delusional! On drugs?
Kennedy mystique, ya, but how many decades did that take?
Yeah, it really shows! lol
If you take the past ten national elections, and actually write a resume for losers of the election....the Hillary resume would basically fit on a 3x5 card, with one of the bullet statements saying ‘Wife of Bill’, and this would be the weakest resume of the group.
Go through the losers: Romney, McCain, Kerry, Gore, Dole, Perrot, George H. W. Bush, Dukakis, Mondale, Carter, Anderson, Ford, McGovern, and Humphrey. Most of them had a full page resume, and various jobs/positions that you could show achievement.
Hillary’s Senate period? She drafted and passed three laws. The three had to do with name changes for post offices or highways....that’s it.
The idea that the presidency should go to the candidate with the longest resume of perceived relevant “experience” is just daft.
Yeah, after “It Takes a Village”, the peasants foolishly put the Village Idiot in charge for eight miserable years. No one was in the mood for the Village Witch after that. And true to form, Mooch sees the office of President as a parental role. That’s quite an insight into how lefties think.
Also the smartest woman... guess that is code for loser in the social justice department.
Would be great if Obama’s husband would just go away. Every time I see him or have to hear him, I get mad.
They left out the best part of Michelle Obama’s comments - about how people who voted for Trump, including women, need to deal with their resistance to their being a woman President and this new way of thinking...uh, pardon me, but didn’t her husband run against Hillary Clinton in 2008 and defeat her, with Michelle Obama herself aggressively campaigning for him and against Hillary?
She just can’t admit she played poorly.
Her accomplishments:
Getting married
Getting elected senator
Getting nominated as sec of state
Getting nominated as pres candidate
Nothing accomplished within any of those.
She was the MOST QUALIFIED TO BE A LOSER because she is a major league loser. A crook too!
If by “best qualified” one means most protected by people who will never admit that it was a mistake in backing Clinton to begin with and whose pride is now on the line with them not just being brilliant but squeaky clean no matter what evidence can be presented.
Indeed, that people are still invested in that they were never wrong, and so they resist any evidence that can even be offered, is something I see as a primary motivator that the Clintons have been able to count upon.
These are people in the press, in academia and of course throughout the powerstructure of the Left. They are the people who mentored younger Leftist who are even more willfully blind to even the possibility of powerful Leftist doing wrong.
Everything, literally everything, that the Left has been able to get over or get past could be described by Hillary’s “what difference” comment. It’s in the past and they are simply not interested.
Meanwhile the seriousness of the charges against anyone they oppose has also gained in strength, become shrill and in some even lunatic.
