(DC Pundit) – It appears that Michelle Obama still sees herself — and her husband, former President Barack Obama — as America’s true victims. In yet another round of “woe is me,” the former First Lady suggested that the nation failed to show her family “grace” during their time in the White House, claiming it was because they are black.
The comments came during a ‘Good Morning America’ interview set to air Sunday morning. Host Robin Roberts asked, “You said we were all too aware that as a first black couple, we couldn’t afford any missteps. And you also say as a black woman, I was under a particularly white, hot glare. Did you feel that?”
Obama didn’t hesitate. “For sure,” she replied. “You can’t afford to get anything wrong because you didn’t get the—at least until the country came to know us. We didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.”

That’s quite a statement from a couple who, let’s remember, were swept into office on a wave of media adoration and celebrity-level fanfare. Barack Obama didn’t exactly squeak into the White House, he won the 2008 presidential election in a landslide and was comfortably re-elected in 2012. The press treated him more like a pop icon than a politician, and Michelle was practically canonized by Hollywood. But somehow, in their eyes, they were still victims of an ungrateful nation.
Since leaving office, the Obamas have hardly been “held back” by America. They’ve inked multi-million-dollar Netflix deals, launched podcasts, and raked in massive speaking fees from corporate audiences eager to bask in their presence. They’ve lived the kind of privileged, jet-setting lifestyle that the average American couldn’t dream of, and yet Michelle still can’t resist painting herself as oppressed.
Last month, she also complained about how “expensive” it was to live in the White House — yes, that White House — while simultaneously admitting she got into Princeton through affirmative action. “All my scores said I did not belong in Princeton… and people saw my skin color and they said ‘you are aiming too high,’” she said. In other words, she got into one of the most elite universities in the world thanks to a system that benefits applicants based on race, and she’s still bitter about it.

It’s almost impressive how the Obamas have managed to turn immense privilege, fame, and wealth into a perpetual victim narrative. For people who’ve spent nearly two decades being glorified by the media, Hollywood, and academia, it’s a strange look to keep insisting America didn’t treat them “gracefully” enough.

So if you’re ever having a rough day, just remember: according to Michelle Obama, no one has had it tougher than the couple who lived in the most famous house in America — rent-free — with staff, security, and luxury at every turn. The rest of us? We’re just not sophisticated enough to understand their struggle.
