Michelle Obama tries so hard to play the victim – Latest News
It’s no coincidence that multimillionaire Michelle Obama is on a self-pity jag as she promotes her newest costly espresso desk memoir as her husband’s Democratic Party succumbs to its socialist fringe.
You see it all over the place. Democrat Marie Antoinettes moaning about their plight and the ingratitude of the serfs as the revolution devours their dominion.
For the former first woman, a week of softball interviews for her new $50 tome, “The Look” has been dominated by weird complaints about her time in the White House with Barack Obama.
She is rewriting historical past to declare bitterly that, as the first black first couple, “we didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.”
Who does she assume she’s kidding? Martians?
Luxury or necessity?
Melania Trump would like a phrase. There was no grace in the day by day savaging Donald Trump’s spouse was subjected to in her first time period in the White House. There have been invasive questions on her marriage designed to injury it, soiled gossip packaged as information, xenophobic assaults on her accent and Slovenian origins. Even her Christmas decorations have been slammed as ugly and cold.
Despite being a profitable worldwide model who all the time dressed impeccably, and with out criticism, she was by no means requested to grace the cowl of Vogue, whereas far frumpier first women who dressed like sofas have been lavishly showcased in the fashion magazine two or 3 times every. No surprise she has retreated into herself in her second time period.
By distinction, it’s hard to keep in mind one other presidential couple so swooned over by the media as the Obamas, even by the requirements of Democrat privilege. They have been handled like Camelot Redux.
But Michelle Obama, with all her tens of millions, is at such pains to painting herself as a victim that she inadvertently offers us with comedy gold whereas begging more questions than she explains.
She kicked off her ebook tour final week with an interview with Robin Roberts for an ABC News particular, “Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look,” which featured her longtime stylist Meredith Koop, make-up artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, and prime designers Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu, Tracy Reese and Narciso Rodriguez.
You would possibly assume it might be hard to complain about getting dressed up with such a battalion of helpers. But Michelle finds a manner. Otherwise people would possibly begin asking why she wants so many mansions.
She moans about having to have “a glam team, a trifecta,” in the White House to apply her make-up and gown her in designer threads “that fit . . . It feels like a luxury, but it was a necessity.”
Despite the personal hairdressers, she whines about having to clean and coloration her hair to conform to a “standard” she resents.
“As women of color, the way our hair naturally grows out of our head, it’s beautiful, but if we struggle to make it look like the standard that means we are spending thousands of hours and lots of money straightening out what is naturally curly hair and that takes hours out of your life,” she stated.
Carol Swain, the retired Vanderbilt University professor and conservative black writer, had a sharp response; she posted a photograph of herself trying elegant with naturally curly, naturally grey hair and a smile. Good humor is gorgeous and takes no time.
Changing of the guard
In any case, no one pressured Michelle to torture her hair into a silky Jennifer Aniston-style long bob. You can guess Aniston doesn’t wake up with Aniston hair, anyway. Women throughout the world spend time on grooming, but it surely’s a alternative. Men have to shave or repair up their beards on daily basis, too, if they need to look reasonably fashionable. It’s referred to as life as a social animal.
But most of us don’t have an military of hairdressers and make-up artists and fashion stylists at our beck and call.
Michelle’s complaints are so absurd you’ve gotten to surprise what’s actually behind it, and it doesn’t take too long to notice that whining and being gloomy is a fad for entitled leftist ladies so that no person notices how privileged they’re.
Nancy Pelosi sees the writing on the wall as Zohran “Tax the Rich” Mamdani and the new Jacobins take over. Having presided over the entrenched privilege of the octogenarian grifting class that has been the spoil of her get together, the “speaker emeritus” has introduced her retirement at age 85, simply in the nick of time.
Gone are the halcyon days when she confirmed off her $24,000 Sub-Zero freezers filled with $13 ice lotions in her San Francisco mansion at the peak of the pandemic, and had non-public hair salon visits when everybody else was locked down.

She desires to make off together with her $140 million income from her miraculously prescient stock portfolio earlier than anybody notices.
Pelosi is simply too proud and too crafty to play the victim. But she’s an previous hand at creating distractions to body others for her own sins. She helped cripple Donald Trump’s first time period when she managed the House and manufactured his two impeachments.
She concocted the Jan. 6 plot geared toward taking out Trump and guaranteeing he might by no means again be a viable candidate, jailing his advisers, demonizing his supporters and locking the Republican Party out of workplace indefinitely. It didn’t work, however she did a lot of injury to the nation in the course of — and introduced disgrace and discredit to her get together.
With a straight face she instructed CNN final week that Trump is “just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth.” She believes her function as affected person zero of Trump Derangement will buy her safety from the Jacobins.
White people music
Liberal atheist podcaster Jennifer Welch, the epitome of AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal), and the Democrats’ reply to Joe Rogan, has solved the drawback by embracing it.
In video streamed from Mamdani’s victory get together in Brooklyn final week, she gushed to fellow VIPs Mehdi Hasan and canine torturer Hasan Piker: “If the music was all white people in right here proper now, it might be boring as s–t.
“I’ve grown up in those circles . . . Americans have no culture except for multiculturalism, and we need to teach people how to embrace that. These crusty white people need to learn how to embrace it,” Welch stated.
Welch is like the Red Guard in Mao’s China, keen to implement right thought on the recalcitrant victims of the second — till it’s her flip.
They’re all petrified that the revolution of their get together will finally eat them. Michelle Obama’s hair woes are the least of their worries.
