I attended Michelle Obama’s final book release event this week in Los Angeles at sold-out YouTube Theater. Her celebrity interviewer was Oprah Winfrey. This evening was ostensibly produced to promote Michelle’s new book, The Light We Carry. In fact, it was just another “under the radar” 2024 presidential campaign event for Michelle.
I arrived two hours early and saw thousands of excited Michelle Obama fans already waiting in line to get in. The vibe was clearly that of a campaign rally. At one hour until showtime, the crowd was let in and swarmed Michelle’s tour merchandise and book sales kiosks, forking out money for swag and books.
Finally, a video introduction was shown on the big screen, narrated by Michelle. The crowd oohed and ahead at photos of Michelle and Barack while she described her feel-good messages about her previous Becoming book tour
. The idea of a co-presidency came as news only to those who don’t pay attention, which was just about all of the audience. In fact, in 2008 Michelle was the co-candidate with Barack. She crisscrossed the country making fiery political speeches to huge crowds for months, stating what she and Barack were focused on what they would do in office. It was only when Michelle went too far over the top with her comment, “For the first time in my life I’m proud of my country,” that the public backlash required a new strategy. That strategy was to put Michelle into the background with the laughable excuse “Michelle hates politics.” This strategy successfully cast the highly political Michelle Obama as just another First Lady, a role that continues to this day. The media choose not to notice that she is even more instinctively eloquent, authentic, and political than her husband.

I wouldn’t spend a minute with him.
Barack doesn't set a very high bar for off-the-cuff eloquence or for authenticity.
"Political" can have different meanings. It can mean having political views, or it can mean having political ambitions, or it can mean approaching life tactically and strategically.
Michelle could speak her mind about a lot of things because she wasn't in politics, didn't have political ambitions, and didn't have to weigh her words. Barack may not have been so outspoken (if that was indeed the case) because he was in politics and had to watch what he said.
People can be "political" in the sense of thinking and talking about politics a lot, but they want to run for office because it's too much trouble or they know it's not for them. I suspect MFO is one of those people.
“No way Obama wants to go back to DC & be a political spouse.”
I have to disagree. Last I knew the Obozos own a place with a protective fence around it in DC. He through his proxies are riding trojan horse Xiden.
Can’t wait to see what they say and how they dump big Camel Harris. It won’t be pretty but major media and big tech will circle the party wagons and get the story relegated to ancient political history at the speed of light - as if the flushing her into the political sewer for losers did not happen.
Are you saying that men can go through menopause?
The press: Barak has a stuttering problem when looking for the right word. Biden has had a stuttering problem since he was a child. Hmm. I think I am seeing a pattern of excuses.
LOL, who am I to judge?
I’m just a cisgender, patriarchal, mansplaining, binary, penis having, White Supremacist…
They had a chance with the SCOTUS nomination. I was a little surprised they did not take it. Maybe they are waiting for Barrack to be eligible for the position come Jan. 22.
Why aren’t you in jail?
I’m in Idaho surrounded by incompetent law enforcement officers…
Agree. She is living the life of the goddess she and her fans believe her to be. No serious blowback. Free to opine mindlessly and prepare each appearance as if it is the Academy Awards ceremony. Nary a care in the world.
You’re right!
That’s a good way to describe her
What is the matter with people that they worship this .... whatever....
Historic™
Why, she's the current incarnation of Cincinnatus....
Yes Newsom and hippo Hilary or someone as bad
Disagree. Too much work for Michelle. She loves her carefree life raking in millions. Besides, Team Obama is running the country now using puppet Joe as a front. With the fraud machine in place in the right states, Republicans will never win the White House or senate again and the Obama team continues their rule.
Make no mistake, she is running in ‘24. Biden will be easily pushed out, but it will be fun to see how they dump Harris.
Replacing Harris with Michelle would be the easiest thing in the world. Unlike her husband or Harris, Michelle is a genuine American black who actually grew up in America not Indonesia or Canada.
Having Michelle as VP would perfect for the dems (and a disaster for America). She sits quietly with her nothing job wait for Joe to kick the bucket. Then she and Barack can have a longer run at running the country than FDR.
AMEN! Thank you for reminding us of this. Some had no doubt forgotten this. Michelle Obama a Man?
No woman stands like that
