Obama's Cover Shot for InStyle Magazine Is the Most Cringeworthy Thing You've Ever Seen
By Matt Margolis Dec 01, 2020 10:30 AM ET

(https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/o/2020/105/0b5ffc91-02c5-4085-951b-6c0ac716d78a-730x487.jpg)

The release of Obama’s long-awaited third memoir has resulted in the expected flood of glowing media attention. Remember the eight years of glowing media coverage he received during his time in the White House? Yeah, it’s pretty much like that again. Perhaps his fashion sense is better than his governing skills, but it’s still a bit bizarre to see him being the subject of a cover story of a fashion magazine.

InStyle magazine has released a preview of their interview with Barack Obama, slated for full release in January.

“Barack Obama on The Women Who Made Him,” reads the headline, with the even more ridiculous subheading: The former president reflects on his childhood and what makes Michelle, Sasha, and Malia so badass.

But that’s hardly the worst thing. The worst thing is InStyle’s cover for their January issue, featuring Barack Obama.

Obama is by no means a humble person, but for some reason, the photographer, Shaniqwa Jarvis, chose to accentuate the narcissism, having Obama leaning back in a chair, legs crossed, and an awkward popped collar, all with a pompous smirk on his face, like he’s some millennial YouTube star, or he’s just passed gas.

Photographer: Can you make yourself look even more like a narcissistic ass?

Obama: You bet.

Mychal Massie has a few things to say about the Obamas. Posted today on Facebook:
Quote
Mychal Massie
3m  ·

The skin-color mongers and those who prostitute divisionism under accusations of "white  privilege" and accusations of white people being unconscious racists/bigots overlook one thing.

They are the people who hold blacks in contempt and who proudly hold the lowest opinion of black people.

It's those such as "bath house barry" from Chicago who views blacks in low esteem.  It's not Christians, conservatives nor white people in general who speak and view blacks disparagingly.

It's the self-important skin-color prostitutes like the obamas, biden, the mainstream media, ad nauseum, who look down upon blacks.  Even more repulsive is this contempt for blacks is taught in the highest levels of academia.

Blacks are lookd down upon to the point that are portrayed as being incapable of obtaining identification that the poorest most unsophisticated white person can easily obtain.

A young man employed at the Apple Store I was in last fall proceeded to tell me that most "african-Americans" are unable to afford the internet or computers.  I assured the illiterate dolt that I could not speak for "Africans" but that nothing was further from the truth regarding Americans.  Yet there sat an early 20-something year old white college student who actually believed black people didn't have computers or WiFi. 
My new neighbor actually had the arrogance to tell me that I was fortunate because I was raised as I was.  Even more offensive than his foolish asinine remark, is that he believes himself to know  all about black people and his perspective is that they are common, persecuted, and in need of help from white people.

"Bath house barry" and his disgusting spouse look at blacks as being low-life forms who behave poorly and who are coarse and boorish.  The fact that when they publicly say same and it is accepted with rebuke proves my point.

"Bath house barry" and its' wife always reference blacks as bad actors and ill-mannered.  They package their remarks as primary causal reasons and/or factors for white people not wanting to defund police and moving out of neighborhoods blacks move into.
But don't take my word for it.  Listen to the things they say about blacks that contribute to the minds of white people as reason to look down on blacks. 

It isn't the average white person who racist and bigoted; it is the better than thou bigots like those referenced above who despise and look down upon blacks.  It's long past time for us to condemn this bigoted elites for their words and behavior.
Let facebook factcheck that and then claim I borke some rule for daring to present this truth. -- Mychal Massie

Obama reveals daughter Malia’s boyfriend quarantined with the family
By Tamar Lapin
December 18, 2020 | 5:34pm

Former President Barack Obama revealed that daughter Malia’s British boyfriend quarantined with the family in the early days of the pandemic — and their grocery bill shot up 30 percent.

In a Wednesday interview on “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Obama, 59, called his 22-year-old daughter’s beau Rory Farquharson a “wonderful young man.”

“There was this whole visa thing, he had a job set up, and so we took him in,” Obama said.

“And I didn’t want to like him, but he’s a good kid.”

Farquharson, the well-to-do son of a London banker, ended up staying with the family “for a while” — and apparently had a large appetite. ...

This dirtbag will be in our face more than the man that will be POTUS over the next four years.  Literally!

I figure Biden will emerge like Puxatawny Phil, about once a month from his hole for about 10 minutes each time.  It worked to get him elected, and he will NOT appear for a news conference in front of the Press Corp.  It will be scripted, he will handle 5 questions, maybe 10 at the tops, and he will quickly disappear.  The media will be complaining about his invisibility, and about one year in, some puke liberal in the media will reminisce the good ole days of Trump.

Last I heard, a normal person visiting Hawaii has to stay totally isolated for two weeks before being allowed out and about. Why do I suspect this was not required of the OhBummer!s?
