Michelle Obama the Princeton educated classy first lady went through hell when her husband Barack Hussein Obama announced as a candidate for the presidency of the United States in 2008.
Michelle was characterized as a Terrorist and as Barack Obama’s Baby Ma-ma. She was depicted as an afro wearing revolutionary with a rifle on her back in the New Yorker magazine. Then presidential candidate, Illinois US Senator Barack Obama was portrayed as an unpatriotic Muslim who could not be trusted with the Presidency.
Since then Barack Obama has won two presidential elections saved America from financial collapse and restored Americas image abroad.
He did it with blanket , wall to wall opposition from Republicans.
Front and center of the demagoguery against President Obama is the man running for the presidency on the republican side Donald Trump. Trump is one of the people who came up with the birther issue which seeks to de-legitimize Barack Obama’s candidacy and ultimately his presidency.
Fittingly, the President has dismissed the goofy orange faced republican as a carnival barker unworthy of serious consideration.
There is so much we can say about the way the Obama’s have ran their presidency without a single scandal, the first presidency in ages ever to do so.
There is so much to be said about their two beautiful well rounded daughters who grew up in front our eyes.
We could talk about the poise , grace, class, and intellect with which Michelle Obama has conducted herself as first lady. Yet we can also highlight the vitriolic hatred which has been directed at her and her family all because of the color of her skin.
Michelle Obama is certainly a strong beautiful woman worthy of being copied. So it’s no wonder that Donald Trump’s wife would look up to our first lady and seek to pull from her speech parts of which she believed.
That’s not a problem . The problem is that they hate us so much that even when they are caught stealing from us they refuse to admit that they stole. That their hand is caught in the cookie-jar and is at risk, they double down and deny .
Because they cannot admit that they learn from us.
Even as they stood on their convention stage and say people of color have not created anything lasting, they were in the process of stealing from us .
How typical is that ?
