Remember when Mychal Massie recently went on a rage-bender about the idea of Michelle Obama running for president (despite the fact that she has expressed absolutely no interest in doing so)? Well, he was at it again in his Oct. 16 column, pushing more unsubstantiated rumors that she might run:
There’s a mounting symphony of prediction that to my sensitive ears sounds as enjoyable, i.e., tolerable, as fingernails being scraped on a chalkboard. That sonic unpleasantness is the growing number of prognosticators predicting the Democratic Party is preparing to parachute the Obama woman into the presidential race to replace Biden.
I should note also that my longtime friend and colleague who is a Capitol Hill bloodhound with remarkable olfactory ability for political secrets, has been telling me the same thing for the past year.
I disagree with my friend, colleagues and those who are starting to publicly make the same prediction.
The Obama woman is enormously unlikeable. She’s a humiliatingly uncouth harridan; she’s lazy, contumelious, and if persons with firsthand knowledge are to be believed, a lush who imbibes more vodka than water; she’s at best boorish.
Additionally, she is without accomplishment. Her cheering section will claim otherwise, but apart from the perks associated with her husband, she in fact has accomplished nothing of merit on her own. Seriously, let’s be honest: What has she done in her life? Exactly what was her professional career before cashing in on Barry’s political ambitions? She was little more than a beard for her sexual-deviant pervert of a husband. Do we forget the alleged reasons for her mother moving into the White House, what amounted to a bribe to keep her from divorcing her perverted husband immediately after his first election?
With all of the other questions she would be bombarded with during even a short campaign, you can bet she would be confronted with mention about how it truthfully made her feel when her husband unsolicitedly revealed he dreamed about having sex with men, but nothing about fantasizing about his wife.
We’ve preiviously noted that Massie’s purported evidence for Michelle being “a lush who imbibes more vodka than water” is an article from foreign right-wing rag the Daily Mail that is nothing but a rewrite from supermarket tabloid rag the National Enquirer citing no named sources and offering no actual evidence to back anything up.
Massie then slipped in a backhanded complement, arguing that he’s not completely unhinged about Michelle by conceding she’s not transgender, as some far-right consipiracy theorists insist:
And you can bet the very last thing she is prepared to endure would be the questions and open discussions about her real gender.
For the record, I don’t like the Obama woman, but I’ve done more to defend her being a true woman than her husband has. She’s a grotesquely unattractive woman, but I find the accusations of her being a transsexual beyond absurd. However, I may be in the minority of opinion on said subject. I’m certain practically everyone reading this commentary has also heard/read ridiculous assertions she was born a man.
From there, Massie rehashed an old conspiracy theory that the contract to build the original Obamacare website “was awarded to the Canadian company CGI in a no-bid contract and that has as their senior vice president the classmate and friend of Michelle Obama, Toni Townes-Whitley.” In fact, three other companies also sought the contract, the bidding process was walled off from politics, and there’s no evidence of any close friendship between Michelle and Townes-Whitley. Massie also provided no evidence to support his claim that any contract money was “funneled back into the Obamas’ pockets by way of charitable donations by CGI to various interests of the Obamas, in this case specifically Michelle Obama’s.”
Massie concluded by admitting what everybody else has known:
Her penchant for unprecedented usufruct would be rubbed in the faces of the people being crushed by what is sure to be under her leadership a rapid descent to what will make the Great Depression seem like a bright sunny day.
All of that leaves out her conspicuous hatred for those she mocks as bitter white people who are afraid of her kind.
All that I’ve mentioned is what she will be forced to confront daily in her effort just to defeat President Trump in a head-to-head battle. Not only do I not believe her capable of the task; I don’t believe she is remotely interested in it.
But Michelle has repeatedly said she’s not interested in running for president. Why did it take so long for Massie to admit the truth? Because he wouldn’t have column fodder otherwise. How cynical and dishonest of him.
