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
No doubt, she created that false myth...not unlike the pedophile who falsely labeled himself as the "King of Pop"...
She was never a good First Lady. Her experiences as Senator didn’t amount to anything people talk about, but there have been worse. She might very well be the worst Secretary of State a President ever turned that office over to. That’s right, I said it. John F Kerry wasn’t as bad of a Secretary of State as Hillary was.
I agree. She is highly qualified to lose.
Hilz had everything going for her except...
principles,ethics, a conscience,good health,energy and a personality.
I can’t understand what went wrong???

Wonder what happened to Michelle Obama’s parenting skills when she allowed her oldest daughter to intern for Harvey Weinstein.
BOOM!
If narcissism is the only qualification, then she is highly qualified.
She was more qualified to lose than many.
But still a loser.
Half the country supported her. Scary ain’t it.
What’s she talking about? She didn’t parent her own children...her mother did all of the parenting.
Liberals consider the unwashed masses as children and govt the parent/ nanny
Give me a conservative who lets me make my own choices about what to eat!
We never saw a picture of mooch or her kids or her husband shoveling carrots down their maws
Humphrey, Mondale, Dukakis... all more qualified than Hildebeast. What a crock.
Arab spring! Hillary f....Ed up the whole region.
Russian reset.
Clinton Foundation. Golobal criminal enterprise
Bimbo cover ups
Etc
The most successful witch in modern history
It’s terrible grammar too. One cannot be more perfect. You are perfect or you are not. You may be closer to perfect but you cannot be “more perfect”.
Henry Clay was a better qualified loser than Hillary
And Obama’s resume?
What’s this dimwit being paid to speak at colleges? Anything more than lunch and cab fare is too much!
I thank God every day that hillary! lost.
Comrades, she did win the the popular vote. The ballots proved that when they were counted. Sure she did not draw large crowds, but the people did vote for her. Are you saying she lost? She won the people not the states. If you live outside of the BIG cities you are all ignorant peasants. Hillary IS your president, if you do not believe that, ask her. Remember, 2016 - 17 was a year of the vintage whine. s/
