Poor, poor Michelle Obama. The former First Lady has to decide which of her three multi-million dollar estates to spend the night in. She has to deal with a fawning leftist press that treats her like she’s some sort of goddess. Her husband was once one of the most widely adored politicians on the planet, she never has to work another day in her life if she doesn’t want to, and she has two grown children who are healthy and apparently happy.

But it’s all so stressful.

Lately, for reasons only known to herself, she’s been podcasting with her brother on a low-rated show called "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson," where she regularly complains about her husband Barack and the tragic difficulty of just being her. She was at it again Wednesday, appearing with former Attorney General Eric Holder’s wife, OB-GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, to lament about the struggles of being married to famous men. Apparently, they’d be happier if they’d gotten hitched to less accomplished husbands.

Michelle recalled when she first met Malone at an event and realized they were kindred spirits in the “reluctant spouses” club. I guess they’ve never heard the Tammy Wynette classic, “Stand By Your Man.”

"They put us together because we were both reluctant spouses attending one of these huge dinners," Obama said...

Michelle Obama said the experience was overwhelming. 

"There was a line of people waiting to shake hands with our respective husbands," she said. "You know, people, like, reaching over our heads and spilling water on us, trying to get to these two, you know, illustrious men." 

Obama said that she saw Malone across the table and felt a kindred spirit, saying, "She had the same look on her face as I did, like, ‘Here we go.’"

More: Something Is Seriously Wrong With Michelle Obama

Big Flop: Michelle Obama’s Podcast Draws Some Embarrassing Numbers – Why Is Nobody Listening?

I’m unclear how or why anyone would spill water on her, but it must have been traumatic.

But she really jumped the shark when she went off on a bitter rant about women’s health that was so confusing it sounded like it was lifted from a Kamala Harris speech:

"Sadly, it has been reduced to ‘choice,’" Obama said. "The question of ‘choice.’ And it's as if that's all of what women's health is. That's the only thing. And as I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail, this past election, was that there's just so much more at stake." 

And those dastardly men, they don’t care:

"So many men have no idea about what women go through, right," Obama said. "We haven't been researched. We haven't been considered. [Seriously, Michelle?] And it still affects the way a lot of male lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders, think about the issue of choice, as if it's just about the fetus, the baby, but women's reproductive health is about our life."

"This whole complicated reproductive system that does - the least of what it does is produce life," Obama said. "It's a very important thing that it does. But you only produce life if the machine that's producing it … is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way. But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two." [Emphasis mine.]

Michelle Obama just said that the least important thing a woman's reproductive system does is create life.

The least of what it does is produce life? Well, we’d all sure be in a world of hurt if it didn’t do that. Also, it’s called “reproductive system” for a reason: it evolved to create new human beings.

It’s frankly kind of nauseating to hear Michelle Obama keep going off on the difficulties of her life when she is one of the most privileged people on the entire planet. Many people have to work several jobs just to put food on the table; they don’t have a lot of time to worry about whether their spouse is too successful.

I grant that there may be actual trying moments in her existence; there are for everyone, no matter how rich or powerful they might be. For her to go on about it regularly in public, however, strikes me as in really poor taste when life brought her lemonade. 

Plenty of folks aren’t nearly so lucky.

The Obamas' luster has faded, and the Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
