    In the "You can't make this stuff up" department, multi-millionaire Michelle Obama was kvetching on her podcast, and the former FLOTUS says she's depressed.

    Because Trump.

    (As well as the ChiFlu Hoax and "racial strife.")

    Who knew that massive wealth, entitlement and adoration didn't buy happiness?

    (If only there were a book or something which pointed this out...)

    https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/michelle-obama-blames-trump-for-her-low-grade-depression/

    “I’m dealing with some form of low-grade depression. Not just because of the quarantine, but because of the racial strife and just seeing this administration. Watching the hypocrisy of it day in and day out is dispiriting,” Obama said in her new podcast.

    The thing is that if I were Michelle Obama?

    I'd be depressed that my husband is a sociopathic war criminal, and that I'm adored not for any ACTUAL accomplishment of my own, but because I was a corrupt & spineless war criminal's sassy arm candy.

    What say?

    I say that claiming that whilst giving Trump a free pass is......... well

    No accomplishments? How about a best selling book? How about being an example to many in relation to education, nutrition, and simply how to succeed.

    Meanwhile what has the two Stepford wives done apart from being background props?

    So you don't think there are many Americans who aren't suffering from low grade depression, maybe that will change in November.

    I think MObama is an absolute disgrace.

    And I used to be a fan - I actually wanted her to run this year.

    But the Democrats preferred to burn their own party down, and the country if they can.

    Melania has also focused on education and online bullying. Additionally she had a successful career in modeling and has several lines of makeup, designer clothes, and jewelry....before she became first lady.

    Now, I'm not going to mock Michelle Obama. She had accomplishments of her own even before her husband became President and she did just fine as a First Lady. Did what most other First Ladies have done. But here you are trying to knock Melania down just because she's married to Trump and your hatred of Trump won't let you be fair...while knocking another poster for "giving Trump a free pass". You never once addressed what the OP was about. All you did was attack Melania. You could have acknowledged that what Michelle did was wrong and left it at that. Instead your hatred couldn't let ya. You're too blinded by it.

    ~ One look at that Michelle Obama face in the mirror would depress anyone.
    She likely sees the potential of the Obama §ainthood facade falling away with each new revelation about the "gang of corruption" in her husband's administration. What she feels is anxiety and fear.

    After what Republicans have done for the last 4yrs, you are in NO position to criticize.

    Some good points.

    I can't tell whether Melania is White Michelle, or Michelle is Black Melania.

    I guess even Melania was a bit confused at the 2016 convention... :eek:

    I must admit that Trump's the 3rd worst president of the century, and that is certainly nothing to be proud of...

    Dems have had clinical depression for 3 years now. Those are personal problems. If you can’t deal with loss or being uncomfortable when thing don’t go your way, grow up or seek counseling.

    Any issues with the black community are certainly related to her and her husbands inaction. They couldn’t accomplish anything in 8years? And the Dem party is had a hammer lock on that voting block since the 60s, so look in the mirror.

    Heck if I was Mooch and looked in a mirror I would become severely depressed, it must be rough going through life with a package bigger then her husbands.

    The big question is why does Mooch think we care? We have our own problems.

    Once whitey pays reparations I'm sure he'll feel a lot better. I swear the Obongos are a shitstain in America's history.

    I'm still trying to decide what she was trying to do with this 'revelation'....

    Either she was trying to pour cold water on the aspirations of those who want her to run for political office ("Depression" is a mental problem).

    Or, she just wanted to add to the Democrat 'bonfire' to hate on Donald Trump.

    Either way, it's kind of a silly, sophomoric barb, unworthy of someone who is supposed to be educated....

    Ma'am, respectfully. You being a foreigner I openly invite your comments on our politics, policy and leadership. The free exchange of ideas is paramount and I enjoy your contributions.

    That said, please refrain from derisive comments about the First Lady, or Gentleman of countries not your own. It's very poor form and frankly, offensive. Spouses of leaders, especially in Melania Trump's case where here husband isn't a career politician, don't choose this path. They are thrust into the role and do the best they can. If their best is lacking we give them a buy on a personal level. You as a foreigner should refrain from the discussion, period.

    By example, I don't opine about Australian politics. I only ask questions and maybe at times discuss historical events.

    Respectfully,

    Labour

    My thoughts as well. I lean towards the cold water, at least that was my first thought.

    The only way Republicans can “win” is to lie

    No wonder they support Trump
