Michelle Obama's Terrible Takes: 'Terrified' of Election Outcome, Government Does 'Everything for Us'

Becoming... what? That's what I always wonder when I see the book title in the above image.

Do you miss the Obamas? Although many speculate that Barack and Michelle are secretly running the White House and telling Joe Biden what to do, I'm not so sure because even though Obama did terrible damage to this country in his seemingly endless eight-year reign, even he has been questioning Bumblin’ Joe's clown show administration.

Although the former president and first lady make appearances here and there and collect vast sums of money for books and Netflix deals, they are thankfully no longer daily fixtures in the news cycle. 

But Michelle decided we needed her opinion on the current state of things and appeared on an episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast released Monday to let the world know that she’s kept up at night because of her terror that her preferred presidential candidate might not win the 2024 election. 

Democracy scares her that much.

Those are the things that keep me up, because you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are we in this? Where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?

I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit, it affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted.

She's so terrified that a vote might actually let the people decide who they want to be president? C'mon man.

Unsurprisingly, I disagree with her. Many, many people do not take for granted how our leaders affect us. While Michelle’s husband Barack’s tenure was deeply unpleasant, shall we say, it was not quite so disastrous as Joe Biden’s current presidency. With rampant inflation, conflicts across the globe, humanitarian and security disasters at the southern border, few are taking “for granted” just how truly dreadful our leader is. 

But she wasn’t done, and reminded us of why her and Barack’s worldview is incompatible with the vision of our Founding Fathers. 

“The fact that people think that government — ‘eh, does it really even do anything?’ — and I’m like ‘Oh my God, does government do everything for us, and we cannot take this democracy for granted,’” Obama said. “And I worry sometimes that we do. Those are the things that keep me up.” [Emphasis mine.]

This lady seriously needs some Ambien. 

Government does "everything for us.” That sums up the progressive ideology in a nutshell. 

No, government does not -- and should not -- do everything for us. We would like to practice our own religions, raise our own kids, have our own values, keep our own money -- without the fed telling us how to do it. It's called "limited" government, and it's what the Founders envisioned. Has she never read the Federalist Papers?

Since it's Michelle Obama, we couldn't expect her to get through the discussion without dropping some inflammatory racial commentary, and she didn't disappoint. Although former President Donald Trump has been relentlessly hounded by Merrick Garland's weaponized Department of Justice and even corrupt local prosecutors, Michelle thinks it would be even worse if he were a black man:

“Other people can be indicted a bunch of times and still run for office. Black men can’t. You just learn to be good. And in the end, you benefit from that extra resilience,” said Obama.

Wasn't Barack supposed to usher in a "Post-Racial America?" How's that going exactly, Mrs. Obama? And I wonder if she ever heard of former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry -- she might want to Google him.

Some have theorized that should Biden eventually be forced out of the race due to infirmity or other health issues, Michelle would jump in and immediately be a front-runner.

I don't see it -- the Obamas seem too addicted to their jet-set, Hollywood lifestyle and enjoy dropping in, sounding sage, and then departing for yet another yacht adventure. Plus, should Michelle ever face the actual scrutiny that a presidential candidate would, her poll numbers would plummet like an asteroid when people paid closer attention to what she actually has to say. Progressives might idol-worship her, but she would get little love from independents or anyone even close to the middle.

Hopefully, her sporadic appearances will continue to remind voters of why we don't miss the Obamas, why Joe Biden is such a disaster, and why we need new leadership in the White House.
