Michelle Obama Makes Head-Turning New Year’s Statement

Former first lady Michelle Obama posted a message to her social media accounts lamenting about how
the last couple of months of the year have been “difficult,” which appeared to be a reference to the
outcome of the November election.
“l know it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us — and folks are feeling a little bit anxious and
uncertain. But this holiday season, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful,” she wrote.
“So as 2024 comes to a close, I wanted to share some reflections on the work the @ObamaFoundation
is doing to lift up the young changemakers around the world. Take a look,” she added.
Meanwhile, viewers of former President Barack Obama’s speech at the Obama Foundation’s 2024
Democracy Forum last month caught him during a “telling’ moment as he made a series of claims
about Republicans that are more aligned with his own Democratic Party.
Some observers even claimed that things the 44th president said would be considered wild conspiracy
theories and false claims’ of ‘election fraud’ were they uttered by a GOP figure.
Others ripped the former president for what they saw as blatant hypocrisy as he accused members of
the Republican Party of doing things that Democrats have done when they are in power, such as
“weaponizing” the Justice Department and “politicizing’ the military.
“Pluralism depends on everyone following a certain set of rules,” Obama said during the speech. “What
happens when the other side has repeatedly and abundantly made clear they are not interested in
playing by the rules?”

“There are going to be times potentially when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in [pause] a
permanent grip on power,” Obama said at one point, as he appeared to realize in mid-sentence that he
was treading closely to exposing himself and his partys future political plans.
“Either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the Armed Forces, or using the judiciary, criminal
justice system to go after opponents,” he continued. “And pluralism does not call for us to just stand
back and say, ‘well, I’m not sure that’s OIC he continued. “In those circumstances, a line has been
crossed, and we have to stand firm and speak out and organize.”
Several people took to social media to call out Obamas rhetoric, much of which sounded to them a lot
like what the outgoing Biden-Harris administration did.
Former “Hercules” actor Kevin Sorbo said that Obama “[a]lmost broke character for a sec.”
Conservative media figure Collin Rugg responded to Sorbo by noting that the “pause was telling.”
Obama reportedly had a big hand — along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — in forcing
President Joe Biden to abandon his reelection bid following his horrific June debate with now-president-
elect Donald Trump.
Actor George Clooney, a close friend of the 44th president, is reportedly angry at the 44th president and
feeling used after he wrote an op-ed over the summer encouraging Biden to step down.

“George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the
bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals,” an unnamed entertainment industry source close to
the A-list actor told RadarOnline in December.
“George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore,” another
source told the outlet.
Obama reportedly “approved” the article to put pressure on his former running mate.
Also, Vice President Kamala Harris is not planning to “go quietly into the night” after she was thumped in
the 2024 presidential election.
During a segment on CNN, reporter Isaac Dovere revealed that Harris privately tells backers she is
considering running for governor of California in 2026 or president in 2028. Harris also reportedly does
not want her “final act’ to be certifying Donald Trump’s election victory over her.
“We haven’t seen or heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris since she lost the election last
month,” CNN’s Manu Raju told CNN’s viewers. “But the Democratic Party still reeling from Trump’s
victory.”
