Does Michelle Obama Hate Her Husband?

Even if Michelle Obama loves her husband, it doesn’t seem like she likes him.

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Michelle said to radio host Angie Martinez in an episode of “IMO,” the former first lady’s new podcast. (RELATED: Democrats’ New Political Football Could Bench Their Top 2028 Contenders)

“Why didn’t you throw in a third?” Martinez asked.

“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama.”

Pause. What on earth could this mean? 

A charitable liberal might assume Michelle simply didn’t want a boy for fear of him being brutalized by a racist police officer. Recall Barack Obama’s commentary on Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old fatally shot by George Zimmerman in 2012. 

“My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” 

On the other hand, if Michelle did have a son who died in an altercation with law enforcement, she’d probably sweep as a presidential candidate. 

Given Michelle’s history of slights towards her husband, it seems more likely that she simply regards him with such disdain that she can’t bear the thought of a child taking after him. She doesn’t seem to be making a particularly fervent effort to dispel divorce rumors. 

But let’s hear her out. 

“Baby Barack, it would’ve been amazing,” Martinez countered.

“Oh, no, I would’ve felt for him,” Michelle rejoined.

Michelle is a wellspring of empathy. Most of it reserved for herself. 

“How do you raise kids in the White House? It’s dangerous,” the former first lady said in another podcast episode. “As the first black potential president, we knew there would be death threats … how would we afford it? Because it’s expensive to live in the White House, as many people don’t know.”

“I mean, much is not covered,” she continued. “You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat, you know, you’re not paying for housing and the staff in it … but everything, even travel, if you’re not traveling with the president, if you’re kids are coming on a Bright Star, which is the first lady’s plane, we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane.”

lol she really hates him. It’s remarkable. https://t.co/GptoMJbXRy

Michelle is doing her absolute best to sully the picture-perfect image gifted to her by the legacy media. As first lady, no praise could suffice. Her outfits were stunning. Her speeches were brave. Her presence was a powerful reminder of – well, you get the picture. 

“She had rhythm, a flow and swerve, hands slicing air, body weight moving from foot to foot, a beautiful rhythm. In anything else but a black American body, it would have been contrived,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gushed in an effusive “thank-you note” to the former first lady. The New York Times published four such fawning letters of gratitude. (RELATED: New York Times Can’t Contain Itself In Gushing Profile Of Two Of The Democratic Party’s Most Powerful Players)

Michelle’s public relations guy must be on permanent vacation. Her podcast has given her boundless space to introduce the American public to the real Michelle: a bitter, entitled harridan, by all appearances.
