Demand the FULL podcast: Michelle Obama edition

Michelle Obama: This Is A Scam! People Were Running From Us Because We W...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama probably does not need RantWoman to stand up for her. Thanks, though, to Elon's sandbox and one of RantWoman's X contacts who definitely thinks differently than RantWoman, RantWoman's Sunday has been blessed with a window into the #MAGA infoverse.  Reminder: this is the same infoverse that for years has been proclaiming Michelle a man, based solely on Michelle in one of her podcasts phrasing a question to a Black Man she was interviewing "As a black man, (what do you think...?"

In today's moment, well into the video below, Michelle speaks about how it's expensive to live in the White house and the family is expected to pay for every bite of food and their daughters' plane fares when they travelled with Michelle on her plane, not with their dad on Air Force One. Michelle goes on to talk further about how having young kids in the White House does not happen with every President and how much she had to put her foot down to make space for her family.

Because the venue of RantWoman's initial encounter with this topic was X and the clip only showed the short comment about the cost of being President, the replies and quote tweets (sorry Elon, not sorry about word choice) were all about people frothing at the mouth about how out of touch Michelle is compared to everyone else's realities.

RantWoman wanted to scream and demanded from her X correspondent a link. RantWoman still had to do a bit of search on her own, but OH LOOK. Michelle grew up in a two-room apartment in an aun't house. Her dad had a disability and a career as a civil servant. People who can't handle people, on the strength of their own hard work and striving plus a few book contracts, starting from this kind of modest beginning, paying off law school debts, and now being able to afford several properties just need to get over themselves! Maybe listen to the full arc of Michelle and Barak's lives, choices they made in service to the country and stop participating in mindless smears!

There. End of Rant, for now.

Now please appreciate all that there is to appreciate in this video..

PS. One of RantWoman's favorite quotes, paraphrased: "We are being led by people who have not found their best selves."
