All the Nonsense at Barack and Michelle Obama’s New Presidential Center Opening Ceremony

Now, you were probably celebrating Juneteenth with all of your family, and you might have missed the opening of the Obama Library and the Hope and Change Lounge, remember? The Hope and Change reception area with the hideous portrait of the two of them, where she looks like the president and he looks like backup girl number two, you know? Like, honestly, it's crazy. It's crazy that either one of them allowed this. You know, even if, I don't know, I guess if I ever became president and Doug were like the first gentleman, I guess I'd be okay with that portrait. I wouldn't want anything at all that was emasculating for my husband. I guess it wouldn't be emasculating if the woman had been the president and the man wasn't. But here, he was the president for eight years. She was the first lady and not a particularly great one. She didn't really accomplish anything. She did something on school lunches, which everyone seemed to hate. I was kind of into it because I do think school lunches should be healthier, to be honest. And she started the Let's Move campaign to get kids moving. Okay, that's good. I'm not in favor of childhood obesity or adult obesity, for that matter. So, okay. That's it. All right. Good. Terrific. Other than that, what she's going to be remembered for, well, now it's going to be her bitterness because she let that mask slide almost as soon as she left office, but especially since she launched that podcast. But she's going to be remembered for all those Vogue covers that Anna Wintour gave her and their attempts to make us think she's a style icon. Okay, we don't. I'm sorry, but we don't. And just the fawning press coverage that she was given, notwithstanding the fact she hadn't accomplished anything. She was a lawyer at some Chicago law firm. Okay. It's like there's millions of lawyers in the country. They have an approval rating that is equal to that of a cockroach. See, I'm allowed to say that because I'm a lawyer too. Being a respected lawyer is only something you think is going to happen when you're in law school. And then you get out into the real world and you realize nobody respects lawyers. Now, it's not that we're not necessary. We're necessary, especially the criminal defense lawyers. But all lawyers are necessary. They're a necessary cog in the U.S. wheel. However, it's nothing great. It's nothing like, oh, wow, she became a lawyer. Okay. She got into Princeton thanks to the DEI program. She submitted it. Good for her. Affirmative action. In any event, she's pictured front and center in their presidential portrait, not her husband, who was the president. He's in the background. She's in the power seat, facing camera. And he's more like side profile. It's crazy. And they had their opening. And they had the Clintons come and the Bidens come. And it was all super, super chummy. And they decided, not having received the message, even the Bidens from 2024, where he was kicked out of office in part because of his woke policies that drove even some portion of the left crazy. To begin the whole thing with, insert words here, a land acknowledgement. Watch. We'd also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today. We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Nations. God bless you. Ojibwe, Potawatomi Nations. What? No one there knows what she's talking about. Everyone's eye rolling. The nerve, too. It's like, are you gonna give the land back? Why did you build there? Chicago's very large. Illinois is huge. Why did you build there, if it's somebody else's land? I'm virtuous cuz I feel bad about it. Unlike you conservatives, I'm virtuous cuz I feel bad about it, says Valerie. Okay, so there we get the land acknowledgement. So they haven't changed their tune, which is, again, why Kamala Harris will not be president again. She's still on board with all of that, as is Obama. Remember, he was supposed to be the more reasonable one. No, apparently not. And then you've got Barack Obama talking about what people want right now. This is what they People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect. That deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away. I believe this because I've seen it all across our country. And cities that have worked together to reclaim their streets from crime, and rural communities that have rebuilt their economy, and businesses that are finding new ways to make housing affordable. And those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who break frigid temperatures, risk their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look out for their neighbors and sometimes look out for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do. I've seen it. Okay, so people right now are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, he says, and tips his hat to the ice protesters in Minnesota. I'm not sure he had his television on because they bit the fingers off of an ice agent. It didn't feel mutually respectful to me. And it's an obvious dig at President Trump, right? Mutual respect and fairness. He wants less division. He was the most divisive president we had had in modern history during his term. Honestly, he was the one who seized one sixth of the US economy, the healthcare system, and shoved a new system down the throats of Americans who did not want it. It was the first time ever we created a new entitlement in the United States that did not have majority support. He shoved it down our throats with lies. You can keep your plan if you like your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. So egregious that even his supporters, as time passed, would ultimately label those the lie of the year. That's how egregious his falsehoods were about something as critical as your health care. And we knew it. Those of us who objected to it back in the 2008 to 2010 time frame knew he was lying because the experts made it clear he was. He just continued to do it through his teeth. But you see, he doesn't get called out as a liar because he's not brash. He's not orange. He doesn't have the hair. So we had to believe in him. We had to believe hope and change wouldn't lie to us. I mean, we're doing politics differently now. We're done with the division. There is no red state America. There is no blue state America. There's only the United States of America. That's not how he governed. He shoved that plan down our throats with lies. And people died as a result. And when he shoved that plan down our throats, he looked at John McCain and said, elections have consequences, John. They have consequences. **** off, right half of the country that doesn't want this. He was so glib and smug about it. Couldn't have cared less that old people were genuinely scared about what was going to happen to them. And they were right to be. He's the one who started commenting on legal cases in a way we had never seen before. Now Trump does it all the time. Joe Biden did it all the time. Joe Biden was calling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist when he was running for office long before we even had a trial. That was brand new ground when Barack Obama did it. We didn't used to have presidents weighing in on legal cases like that. Never mind the race of the perpetrators and saying things like if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon Martin. How dare you? Stay out of it. Don't prejudice a trial for either party. That was Barack Obama. He's the one who told us he couldn't do any more on immigration reform until he magically took out his pen and his phone and found more that he could do extra legally. He's the one who activated his attorney general to be his right hand wingman instead of an objective chief law enforcement officer. And now, I mean, those days are gone now. Now the AG basically just works for the president. It's obviously true under the Trump administration. But we can thank Barack Obama for changing that previously existing norm. So I don't wanna hear any lectures from him about mutual respect or division, divisiveness, because he's the architect of it. He's very good at selling it in a much nicer way. He's a good orator. He looks nice. He sounds nice. He's got good tonality in delivering his speeches. But make no mistake about it. He is far more divisive when it comes to the way he actually governed than even Orange Man Bad, according to these leftists who now sits in the White House. Trump is much more moderate than Barack Obama ever was, ever. So this is all a facade. It's a lie that they're putting on camera there. And of course, they ate it up, hook, line, and sinker. Now here's his wife, Michelle, who listened for a couple of things in this soundbite, back to the fact that she wants us to believe she was really the president, right, through the portrait. Why is she front and center? She wasn't the president. Sorry, but you weren't. Listen for the key phrase in this next soundbite on that, and then listen to the substantive point, because her substantive point is also not right. Sot 22. It's why during our administration, we threw open the White House doors to all sorts of folks who don't usually get to meet the president or first lady. The families pinching pennies to send their first child to college. The teenagers who know that a hot afternoon means the bullets start flying. The military spouses and children serving and sacrificing just like their loved ones in uniform. The native kids showing us that resilience and pride can never be stolen. The 4-Hers and FFA members with calluses on their hands from feeding livestock. The immigrants proving what it truly means to be a dreamer. These folks. These folks aren't Americans, too. They are America. They are the beating heart of this country. Okay. Now, I love that she now is worried about the inner city kids who have to worry about bullets flying. That's your hometown, madam. That's Chicago. What did you do to help them? Because I saw a lot of protesting after George Floyd joining in on the George Floydapalooza. None of that helps South Side Chicago. None of it. The only thing that's going to help South Side Chicago is more police, which wasn't done, will never be done. You don't seem to count those black lives in the tally. The black lives who get killed only seem to matter to the activist class if it's at the hands of a police officer, not a black gang member. Whereas actual black Americans want to be safe, just like Asian Americans and white Americans and Hispanic Americans. I know because they've come on my show time after time to say exactly that. To talk about their fear as neighborhoods got de-policed thanks to Democrats like you, Michelle. And then did you hear the reference to our administration? What did you do? You're part of the administration. You're the first lady. Can you imagine Melania Trump ever talking like that? Seriously, can you imagine Melania Trump ever saying our administration? She always says, my husband has done this, my husband's administration. She's respectful. She understands that she's not actually a political leader. She's more of a figurehead. The first lady does things like puts on the Christmas party, oversees the Easter egg roll, does some sort of non-controversial initiative, like let's move. But you're not actually part of the administration. You don't have a job that requires Senate confirmation. Who died and made you president? You never were. Sorry, it was your husband, no matter what the portrait looks like. No BS, no agenda, no fear. Think about this. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot price.
