Now that the entire American electorate can be found hunkering down at home, courtesy of the ongoing pandemic scare, Michelle Obama is kicking off her campaign for vice president in a Netflix ‘documentary’, coming to a television screen somewhere in your private living quarters, tomorrow.
Get out the popcorn if without a job, you can still afford it.“The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama” firmly believes that Ms. Obama will not only benefit the Democratic ticket this November but also help lead this country to be more just and caring. However strongly we support Ms. Obama as Vice President Biden’s running mate, we will transfer our resolve to whoever joins the ticket to defeat the most dangerous incumbent in the history of our nation.”All of its hype notwithstanding, it’s the same old, same old 2016 message. “Helping lead this country to be more just and caring” is hardly what Michelle’s husband Barack Obama did when his prime mission as twice-elected president was to “Fundamentally Transform America”—and tried to do it by getting America’s enemies to build on their visceral hatred of the U.S.
“Joe Biden has said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate ‘in a heartbeat.’ The aim of this campaign is to build on the substantial grassroots support for a potential Michelle Obama candidacy and help garner media attention for a vice-presidential nominee who has the power to beat Donald Trump,” the group said in a statement released Monday.

“She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a really fine woman. The Obamas are great friends,” the former vice president told CBS Pittsburgh." (Breitbart)But self-described “hugger” Michelle Obama’s message to the pandemic challenged masses last week was: “I miss you all”. (Canada Free Press, April 27, 2020) “Michelle Obama has described her When We All Vote initiative as a non-partisan effort to boost voter registration among all Americans. But the project, which is also aggressively pushing voting by mail, is backed by a slew of left-wing Hollywood and sports celebrities whose past public statements have been anything but non-partisan. (Breitbart, April 21, 2020)
“When We All Vote boasts a chairing committee of 12 celebrities whose ostensible task is to use their influencer status to boost the organization’s visibility, especially among young, impressionable voters who tend to look up to Hollywood stars. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were among the co-chairs who participated in a virtual voter registration drive on Monday, where they helped push for voting by mail across the country.”It’s not just “the slew of left-wing Hollywood and sports celebrities whose past public statements have been anything but non-partisan”, how can the initiative’s creator who happens to be the ex-first lady, as wife to the ex-president credibly call herself “bipartisan”?
“It takes some energy to go high, and we were exhausted from it … when you’re the first black anything,’’ Obama said, referring to her and her husband, former President Barack Obama, of their failed efforts to help elect then-Democrat White House nominee Hillary Clinton. “You know, the day I left the White House, it was painful to sit on that stage, and then a lot of our folks didn’t vote — it was almost a slap in the face,” the former first lady added. “It wasn’t just in this election, but every midterm, every time Barack didn’t get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didn’t show up,” she said during another point in the film. “After all that work, they just couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. That’s my trauma.”
“Now we’re out of the White House, not to be viewed, judged and parceled by every other person on the planet — yeah, it’s better, it’s absolutely freeing,’’ said Obama. “Being the first lady has been the greatest honor of my life. But how many people are in that position where the entire attention of everything is you, every gesture you make, every blink of an eye is being analyzed? “Barack and I are not interested in being at the forefront forever — not even for that long.”Obama’s Netflix ‘documentary’ is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to walk back to a 4-year ago past. In reality, Barack Obama is ex-president, Michelle, ex-1st lady. Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election from which there is no coming back. And most hated of all for Clinton and the Obamas, Donald J. Trump is president. Michelle’s husband isn’t the president anymore, he’s the Harvey Weinstein-like ‘influencer’ running the show over at Netflix with his own ‘documentaries’, including the one pushing his wife as buddy Joe Biden’s vice president running mate.
