Michelle Obama: ‘Many’ Around the World Feel Barack Is ‘Their President’
2019-11-02
[BREITBART] Former first lady Michelle Obama said Tuesday that her husband, former President Barack Obama
teachable moment...
, could have built his presidential library anywhere in the world because many feel he is "their president."

Obama, speaking at the Obama Foundation Summit at the Illinois Institute of Technology, explained reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
’s Jackson Park was selected as the site for the Obama Presidential Center because it was close to the couple’s former home and situated near her South Side childhood home.

"There’s power in the selection of Jackson Park," the former first lady said. "Barack and I don’t do things incidentally. There’s a strategy."

Obama then argued the library could have even been built outside of the United States.

"Barack’s presidential library could have been anywhere in the world, because there are so many people who feel like he is their president," she stated.

"New York wanted it. Hawaii wants it. Because it’s also an economic engine," she added.

She meant shitholes. And 'people' like the Bantus or sunni whatsits. I'm sure many exulted for joy when America tried to commit suicide for 8 years.

#12  Well Michelle, you must be listening to the MSM echo chamber. Most people do not get that warm tingling in their loins that Chris Matthews did when Obummer spoke.

At least in some parts of the map, we are the United States of America, once sovereign country.

Go away globalists, your values are not compatible with ours.

#2  Death rattle of the Global Grifter Party.

Can anyone imagine someone saying if the Eisenhower Library, or the Kennedy or Reagan Libraries, "[Ike][Jack][Ron]’s presidential library could have been anywhere in the world, because there are so many people who feel like he is their president..."

Does Big Mike have the faintest conception why a majority of Americans -- even millions of those those who voted for his empty-suit husband-- conclude by 2016 that he wasn't interested in being their president?

That this shallow, vain, ignorant little man was more interested in posturing and preening as a "global citizen" than championing or asserting American interests?

What a despicable fool.
