Michelle Obama

When Will America Stop Persecuting Michelle Obama, Oprah, and LeBron James?

It is good to keep things in perspective. You may believe that your life is difficult, but you should realize that there are people out there who face struggles and obstacles, hardship and persecution, far beyond what you have ever known or will ever experience. You have been through your own trials, perhaps, but at least life hasn’t been as hard on you as it has been on Michelle Obama.

The former First Lady — who graduated from two Ivy League schools, became First Lady by the age of 45, and is now worth a combined $135 million along with her husband — has always been eager to talk about the many ways in which this country has oppressed her. She returned to that theme in a recent interview with CBS, telling the outlet that police brutality has caused her to “live in fear,” afraid to even walk the dog or go to the grocery store. Obama is also concerned that her daughters will get racially profiled while driving. Apparently she lies awake at night, tossing and turning, panicking that some police officer with a professional death wish will harass the famous daughters of a United States President. These are all very real fears that she has. But, she complains, nobody will “listen” to her.
