“Anyone who puts faith in a
politician to make his or her life better is worshipping a false god.
... Politicians promote faith in themselves [read:
Barack and Michelle Obama] because it helps their careers
and feeds their egos.” – Cal Thomas,
syndicated columnist in The Washington Times
The only wonderful thing about a false
god is its inevitable demise. To progressive ideologues like coddled
Michelle, the repudiations of her husband—political
shellackings of 2010, 2014 and
today—are deeply painful. After all, the Obamas are profoundly
narcissistic and ego-driven. In 2014, that's why Mr. Obama said:
“I’m not on the ballot this
fall. Michelle’s pretty happy about that. But make no mistake:
These [read: my]
policies are on the ballot, every single one of them.”
For Michelle's part, five-star White
House perks and Air Force One jet-setting aren't enough. She wanted
to be paid
to be first
lady. Indeed, the Obama presidency is defined by
self-aggrandizement. What else explains Mr. Obama's habit of
governing while
golfing or his perpetual Hawaiian vacations? (Aptly, Michelle
flew to Hawaii after her parting Oprah interview.) How can the
Obamas take for granted the extraordinary faith gifted anyone
residing in the White House? No one is entitled to sour
grapes for being entrusted with such a lofty position. To helm
the greatest nation on earth is a privilege—never an entitlement.
It's a disgrace to behave otherwise.
Unlike the clueless and classless
Obamas, President-elect Donald
Trump “gets it.” That's the real reason behind his 'Thank
You' tour. By contrast, neither carping Obama can muster even a few
words of gratitude. A modern-day Marie Antoinette, entitled Michelle
has happily existed in the echo chamber that is the White House
bubble (same as her husband). What other couple has lived so
publicly as careless millionaires, impervious
to the suffering of their fellow citizens?
The Obama presidency is an
anti-American exercise in
fascism, the superficiality of identity
politics and the cult of personality. The Obamas never even
acknowledged harsh domestic or international realities. What of
eight years of killing zones in inner cities like
Chicago? What of Barack Obama's virtual doubling of America's
national debt? What of the
escalating worldwide scourge that is his unnamed radical
Islamic terrorism? To them, none of these actual problems
matter. They hold the ego-centered belief—a collective political
delusion—that they are the “real
victims”. See this same fiction paralleled by Michelle's
griping and Hillary's election
meltdown. As Hillary
Clinton promised an “Obama third term,” how her
failure is a resounding rejection of the Obama
legacy. Country be damned: everything is about their
marginalized little elitist clique.
Ah, the unceasing agony—to be at the
mercy of a Republican Congress and The Donald's pen stroke! In this,
America has been blessed with renewed hope and a new beginning.
Michelle Obama's self-absorbed pessimism—a serious character
flaw—provides the correct context for her out of touch reaction:
“We
are feeling what not having hope feels like.”
