RUSH: You know, the Obamas are out there, did a documentary or two for Netflix. And one of them that\u2019s out now, Michelle Obama is really upset at black folks — she calls them “our folks” — for not showing up in the same numbers for Hillary that they showed up for Barack Hussein O. It\u2019s kind of funny.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, this story, BizPac Review: “Michelle Obama calls black voters ‘our folks\u2019 and rebukes them for their ‘slap in the face.\u2019<\/a> The latest example clarifying that Michelle Obama sees the world through the lens of color was seen in the former first lady\u2019s new Netflix documentary, ‘Becoming.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Revisiting a sore subject, Mrs. Obama talks about the pain she feels over black voters not turning out to vote for Hillary Clinton in the same numbers they did for husband Barack Obama, according to The Daily Beast. Touting all the hard work ‘we\u2019 put in to build a winning coalition,” Michelle Obama actually called it “a slap in the face” that her folks didn\u2019t show up and vote for Hillary.<\/p>\n

She said, “‘It takes some energy to go high, and we were exhausted from it. Because when you are the first black anything…\u2019 she said. ‘So the day I left the White House and I write about how painful it was to sit on that [inauguration] stage,'” with Mr. Orange Man. “‘A lot of our folks didn\u2019t vote. It was almost like a slap in the face.'”<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sitting up there and Mr. Orange Man is gonna be inaugurated instead of Mrs. Clinton because our folks didn\u2019t show up and vote. Slap in the face. Oh, so they\u2019re all supposed to monolithically, they\u2019re all supposed to vote the way you want them to vote, they\u2019re mind-numbed robots, they\u2019re not individuals, they have to do what you told them to do. (interruption) The owner? “The use of the phrase ‘our folks\u2019 suggests that Mrs. Obama puts race first.”<\/p>\n

Really? What was your first clue? Really? That\u2019s like saying Jesse Jackson puts race first. Or Al Sharpton. Michelle Obama said, “‘I understand the people who voted for [Donald] Trump,\u2019 Obama added, offering no further clarification. And her angst extended to the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections, as Obama blamed minority voters for Democrats losing the House (2010) and Senate (2014), instead of her husband\u2019s failed policies.”<\/p>\n

She\u2019s blaming the black voters for all of the problems the Democrat Party is having. Because “our folks” didn\u2019t show up. “After all that work, they just couldn\u2019t be bothered to vote at all. That\u2019s my trauma.”<\/p>\n

Maybe, Mrs. Obama, your folks didn\u2019t show up because they were a little ticked off that they didn\u2019t have jobs after eight years of your husband\u2019s trying to help \u2019em out. Isn\u2019t that really the truth? The Democrat Party\u2019s been promising not just our folks, not just the African-Americans, the Democrat Party\u2019s been promising every constituency group they\u2019ve got that they\u2019re gonna fix it, whatever\u2019s wrong, the Democrats are gonna fix it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then after they fix it, they\u2019re gonna get even with the people that caused the pain in the first place. That\u2019d be the Republicans and conservatives, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, they\u2019re gonna get even with all those people. And nothing ever happens. Then Mr. Orange Man comes along and look at all the jobs for Michelle Obama\u2019s folks. Look at all of the rising economic tides, of course, before the coronavirus hit.<\/p>\n

Now, here is another companion story from Breitbart. “Democrat Operatives Launch ‘Committee to Draft Michelle Obama\u2019 for VP.”<\/a> You know, this is gonna conflict with Hillary Clinton, \u2019cause she\u2019s the one that wants it. Hillary Clinton wants Plugs plugged, she wants Plugs sent somewhere, she wants to be the nominee. She doesn\u2019t want this VP stuff. She wants to be the nominee. And there\u2019s the competition that\u2019s now been set up because there is this draft Michelle (My Belle) movement out there.<\/p>\n

“A newly-launched committee called ‘Draft Michelle Obama\u2019 is pushing for [Plugs] to select the former first lady as his running mate. ‘Joe Biden has said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate ‘in a heartbeat.\u2019 The aim of this campaign is to build on the substantial grassroots support for a potential Michelle Obama candidacy and help garner media attention for a vice-presidential nominee who has the power to beat Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n

Oh. So they\u2019re gonna run their vice presidential nominee against Trump. Plugs is just gonna be a placeholder. “The statement adds: ‘The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama firmly believes that Ms. Obama will not only benefit the Democratic ticket this November but also help lead this country to be more just and caring.'”<\/p>\n

Oh, so there we are back to it. The country will be more just and it will be more caring and there will be somebody with more compassion as you lose your job and more compassion as all kinds of horrible, negative things happen to you. Why is Barack Obama sending his wife out with all these complaints about their folks? Why is Michelle Obama having to put this load on her shoulders? Why can\u2019t Barack go out there and start complaining about their folks not showing up? Why does she have to do it? Her shoulders are probably broader, Mr. Snerdley? Would be one reason why. So Michelle Obama is angling to be Plugs Biden\u2019s VP nominee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
