THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published December 29, 2024
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is getting an earful over a video message she recently posted on the social media site Instagram.
In her message, Mrs. Obama uses the expression ‘Happy Holidays’ instead of Merry Christmas, then goes on to suggest that things have been ‘difficult’ for many people over the last few months, a clear reference to the election of Donald Trump.
She then goes on to push various programs offered by the Obama Foundation.
Many people were unimpressed.
FOX News reports:
Michelle Obama provoked a wave of online criticism Friday after she shared a New Year’s message with her followers on Instagram.
The former first lady posted a video wishing her followers “Happy Holidays” and highlighting the work of the Obama Presidential Center as 2024 comes to a close. But critics noted with disapproval that her video begins on a sour note.
“Happy holidays, everyone. I know it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us, and that folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain,” Obama says in the video.
Hundreds of Instagram users commented on Obama’s video within hours after it went live.

RELATED: Michelle Obama Ripped for New Year’s Message Saying Americans Are ‘Anxious’ as Trump’s Return Nears

Michelle Obama got some pushback from critics following an Instagram post in which she lamented that times have been tough over the last few months and that Americans are feeling “anxious” as we head into the New Year.
Mrs. Obama’s comments seem to reference a fragility amongst a segment of the American people who might be dismayed at the election victory of Donald Trump.
“Happy holidays, everyone!” she begins the message. “I know it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us — and that folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain.”
Obama continues, adding “But even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful.”
The video is interspersed with shots of presumably everyday people. One man wearing a Chicago Bears jacket has surely suffered some tough times over the past few months. What with the election loss for Democrats and, well, having to live with the burden of being a Bears fan.
Then, of course, there was the blue-haired lass riding a subway. No doubt she’s a little apprehensive about the incoming administration.
Fear not, those of you concerned about the coming year, which will feature Donald Trump as your president yet again. There is hope. Hope, in the form of the Obama Presidential Center, the $482 million vanity project for her husband, Barack.
“On the South side of Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center continues to rise as a symbol of hope and community,” Michelle narcissistically proclaims.
Imagine thinking Barack’s library is a beacon of hope in challenging times.
Perhaps when she is speaking of being “anxious,” Mrs. Obama is actually referring to herself. She did, after all, say that the 2024 presidential election caused her to lose sleep because she was “terrified” of the potential outcome.
“Those are the things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them and you wonder where are we in this, where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?” Obama said on a podcast just after last New Year’s.
“I am terrified about what could possibly happen because our leaders matter, who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I think sometimes people take for granted.”
Almost exactly one year later, her nightmare will become a reality as Trump is certified as the 47th President of these United States on January 6th.
