Forget ‘Michelle for President’

American Thinker:

Our betters in the MSM, and related ruling-class mouthpieces, have set the narrative:  the lackluster, too-crazy pack of Democrat presidential candidates, even with a few token billionaires, will ultimately give way to the entry of Michelle Obama into the race.  The former First Lady, author of an apparently best-selling memoir, will inject palpable blue energy throughout the nation, return black America to a 95+% Democrat voting bloc, consolidate the Obama voting coalitions that won two presidential elections, and the evil interloper Trump will be sent packing.

Don’t buy this narrative.

In a country of 320+ million people, there is always a sizable segment who will not be willing or able to discern or question anything beyond what they are told by the MSM, and will follow the narrative.  That segment is actually becoming smaller every year; the reality of fake news has diluted the MSM’s influence to a far greater degree than they understand.  But that’s not why I’m not buying the narrative.

Here’s why:

‘Obama’ is how we got Trump.  For all the gigabytes devoted to explaining how Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, the simplest two-word explanation has always been:  Barack Obama.   

Most Americans never agreed with the radical left-wing policies that President Obama instituted, nor did they appreciate his subtle, persistent denigration of America’s character, identity and place in the world. But Americans did salute to the notion that we should be especially careful not to criticize America’s first black President. 

In short, the absence of strong criticism of President Obama and his policies was not due to their popularity, but rather due to a surrender to the political reality enforced in great degree by the MSM that any such criticism would be labeled as racist.  His policies and view of America were in fact alarming to many Americans, who silently bided their time until he was out of office. read more

  1. There is no net gain for her.
    She already has Millions, and she doesn’t have to mix with the inevitable whites that come with governing the country, and she doesn’t want Barry telling her how to do anything.
    Five bucks Hilary tries to shoehorn herself into a contested convention

  2. Sadly, we’ve allowed progressives to do so much damage already that we’re currently one identity politics win away from completing the fundamental transformation of America.

    @Anonymous, you have humor confused with vulgarity.

    I like your site, but these kind if pics I find vulgar. A little more class would be better. Thank you.

    Ah okay, I’ll forward your remarks to management.
    We’ve been like this since 2009 and don’t intend to change.
    Thanks for stopping by with your lily white concern gloves, though.
    Smooches!

  4. Mooch will never run for anything except a free lunch, a free trip, and a free load. If the Democrat-Socialist-Reparations-Homosexualists Party can’t accept the will of the voters at their convention, President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton will reluctantly agree to be drafted to save the country from another term of the Great Usurper.

  5. Michelle obama is an affirmative action grifter, loutish, and amazingly untalented. She is racist, bitter and hateful and despises our country unless she is in a position to loot it. We doubt she’s even a woman.

    Let’s elect her president!

  7. Dear Sirs:

    I also find the pictures and cartoons you frequently display on this site to be vulgar and crass. For example, the depiction at the top of this tread is on a par with a certain cartoon in the April, 2015 Hustler magazine. In fact, this obviously photoshopped illustration sinks down to the level of photographs in each of Hustler’s May through August, 1999 issues, and comes perilously close to the vulgarity of Hustler’s line up from January, 2008 through October, 2008 and most of their 2009 – 2013 issues.

    I would suggest that lines of decency and decorum must be drawn.

    Respectfully;

    Wyatt

  8. Dear Anon above who thinks The Mooches pics are vulgar. What’s vulgar is being told for once in her life she’s proud to be an American. What’s vulgar and mean is forcing children to eat crap for school lunches, which in turn got dumped in the garbage. Plenty of things about the Mooch is vulgar, her breathing and always having a frown on her face is vulgar and unbecoming for someone like her to call herself an American.

  9. One thing wrong with that third picture (dimples). Mooschelle should be wearing boxers or briefs, NOT bikini, in keeping with (his) her (alleged) “package”.

  10. Sassy, the Sasquatch will test the swamp waters and place it’s muddy big feet in the 2024 Presidental race.
    Of course, it’s treasonous grifter track record could fill a foraging bag, but Sassy hopes Americans won’t remember experiencing an eight year Obama scourge. Too bad for Sassy, President Trump has exposed the Obama criminal legacy.
