We all know Barack Obama’s has a huge underserved sense of self-worth and that he likes to take jabs at his critics. He trash-talks Trump, Republicans, God-fearing gun-owning Americans, and anyone the beats him in sports, which is everyone. Now that he’s retired from politics, he’s going after his own wife, talking shit about her successful memoire. I get it that she’s kind of a bitch, but he should be used to it by now.
After leaving office the Obamas got a $65 million publishing deal to each write a book. Michelle already got her’s out and it did very well. Barack is planning on releasing his memoire soon and, to drum up a little enthusiasm, has attacked his wife’s writing skill.
This starts out with a thing from The Atlantic on how Barack is still a lazy POS:
…Obama has to finish his book (between rounds of golf and raising millions for his foundation). The writing has been going more slowly than he’d expected, and according to several people who have spoken with him, the 44th president is feeling competitive with his wife, whose own book, Becoming, was the biggest release of 2018 and is on track to be the best-selling memoir in history.
So he’s jealous of his wife? It must be penis envy.
Somehow this gets sadder:
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, like others in this story, these sources note he’ll occasionally point out in conversation that he’s writing this book himself, while Michelle used a ghostwriter.
Oh, snap! Barack is actually shit-talking his own wife. I didn’t think it was possible to dislike him any more, but this is low, even for him. I obviously have no love for Michelle, but that’s his wife and it’s a not a good look for him to minimize her success or ability.
Wasn’t it Michelle who said “when they go low, we go high”?
If a conservative had made a similar statement about Michelle’s poor writing skills, he or she would be accused of sexism and racism and probably get fired.
Obviously Barack is trying to lower the expectations for his book because he knows it won’t do as well as Michelle’s. It’s the same thing as when he blamed his failed presidency on his his predecessor George W. Bush. He’s laying the groundwork for what he knows will be a bomb by saying, “my book didn’t do as well because of factors that don’t involve me.” Take some personal responsibility for a change.
The fact that he’s throwing his wife under the bus to cover his ass, shows what a complete lack of character he has.
Barack’s book, which will cover his time in the White House, was supposed to come out this year but due to his laziness it might not be released for several more years. He’s slacking so hard that he hasn’t even come up with a title yet. I know he doesn’t want any help from writers, but I came up with a few potential titles he can use if he gives me some of the $65 million signing bonus he got:
Mom Jeans
I Like Nuts
You Didn’t Build That But I Wrote This
If You Like This Book You Can Keep This Book
Bin Laden, Benghazi, Been Sleeping
E.I.E.I.O. Entirely Inept, Executive Inaction Obama
I Spy
National Lampoon’s Presidential Vacation
Thanks Hillary
Michelle’s memoire Becoming is a true-life tale of how she went from being a young boy in Chicago to the First Lady of the United States. Full disclosure: I have actually read her book, but I am assuming this is what it’s about based on the title. For Barack to come close to beating that, he’d have to come clean that he’s a Muslim who was born in Kenya and fooled the American people for 8 years. It’s unlikely he’ll do that, so his book is going to tank. When Barack is bloviating and lecturing from atop his high horse, he’s about as interesting as the Facebook user agreement nobody reads.
