I reported earlier on Barack Obama's troubling remarks about having constraints on social media.
Can we talk about how that's just one more reason never to vote the Democrats back into power when they think that way? I don't care how he tried to spin it; it's an idea that's always wrong.
Ironically, even as he was making such troubling, hypocritical remarks about autocracy and social media, he wasn't the only Obama whose comments were making news.

Let's face it, Michelle's podcasts are doing unevenly at best, but certainly not particularly well for a former First Lady who people were proposing for the top job herself. Every clip I've seen of her confirms how awkward she is.
But one thing she said this week on the podcast did get a lot of attention because many thought it was a nasty jab at her husband.
She had New York radio host Angie Martinez on to talk about the challenges of raising sons “in a volatile culture filled with bad examples of masculinity.” Martinez said that Michelle should have thrown a boy into the mix because she only has two daughters. Michelle nixed that idea.
”I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Michelle replied. “Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama," she said, shaking her head and going, "uh uh." The eye-rolling when she says that makes that comment.
When Martinez said she thought that “would’ve been amazing,” Michelle answered, ”I would’ve felt for him.” Then she said she had "plenty" by borrowing her brother's boys.
So that's just going to add to the rumors about their relationship. It had a lot of folks on X commenting.
She said she would have "felt for him" [the imaginary son]. Now, perhaps she meant it would be hard to follow in the footsteps of such a "legendary figure," and that's a bit inflated interpretation of Barack, too. Then don't name the child Barack, help with good parenting to make him a strong enough man to follow his dreams. Or maybe she didn't want a son with Barack's issues.
Earlier this year, Michelle Obama admitted publicly that she was in therapy.
“At this phase of my life, I’m in therapy right now because I’m transitioning, you know?” Michelle said of her decision to return to counseling. “I’m 60 years old, I finished a really hard thing in life with my family intact. I’m an empty nester. You know my girls are in — they’ve been launched. And now for the first time, as I’ve said before, every choice I’m making is completely mine.”
After all that she's been given — and it's a lot, whether she understands it or not — she doesn't seem particularly happy.
