What the heck is wrong with Michelle Obama?

It’s a serious question. Why does anyone like this woman? Her pattern of cruelty and narcissism should shock even her most devoted admirers. During a recent podcast appearance, she casually announced she was “so glad” she never had a son because “he would’ve been a Barack Obama.” Let that sink in for a moment. This woman just publicly declared that having a child who resembled her husband would be something to celebrate avoiding.

Now, don’t get me wrong — she’s right. Her husband is horrible, too. But she is his wife… allegedly. I mean, they’re at least pretending to be in a happy marriage despite all the rumors.

Nevertheless, the casual cruelty of that statement, delivered with apparent glee, exposes a level of contempt that goes far beyond typical marital tensions. This isn’t an isolated incident of poor judgment or a momentary lapse in decorum. Obama has been systematically degrading her husband in public forums for months now, using every available platform to score cheap points at his expense.(snip)

Here’s a woman who has built her entire public persona on moral superiority and inspirational messaging, yet she can’t resist using public platforms to crap on the man who made her fame and fortune possible. The hypocrisy is staggering, but it’s entirely consistent with her long history of bitter, divisive rhetoric.
