During the 2008 presidential race, Michelle Obama notoriously said “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” But in a sit-down with CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King, Obama sounds as if her level of pride started slipping again at Trump’s inauguration and is still going. Obama then repeated a recent claim by her husband that there was “no scandal” in his administration, adding something even more laughable about how much scrutiny they faced:
Here is @MichelleObama claiming that the media were so rough on the Obama Administration, they had to be "better than perfect," with "no scandals."

First of all, “no scandal”?

“No scandal” — if you don’t count Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS targeting conservative groups, knowing millions would lose health plans but lying about it anyway, and so much more.
Imagine believing the media was tough on Obama ??

Unreal, isn’t it?
At least we know the delusion goes all the way to the top ?♂️?♂️

Bunk. The Obamas were blindly adored by mainstream media. https://t.co/uY6rPjFcWX

Do they actually believe their nonsense? Or is it just willful delusion? One has to wonder.

Michelle Obama’s claim of being scrutinized is even richer considering her relationship to the CBS News personality who was interviewing her:
She literally vacationed with the interviewer.

This is a morning network news anchor interviewing someone with whom she has literally vacationed. Fun! https://t.co/qERKUZLErg

But anyway, back to how hard the Obamas had it because of all the media scrutiny.
