Michelle Obama roasted for lecturing Americans about ‘want’
Michelle Obama was slammed for hypocrisy after the former First Lady, worth over $70 million, lectured Americans about ‘taking more than they need’.
Obama’s speech, which sent the raucous liberal audience at the Democrat National Convention into raptures, was in a part a tribute to her mother, Mary Robinson.
She said of her mother: ‘She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed. They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning. So my mother volunteered at the local school.’
It led many on social media to wonder what Obama was talking about, given her personal net worth and her family’s multiple properties, including a lavish Martha’s Vineyard estate.
‘Yeah Michelle Obama lost me wen she said “my parents taught me not to trust wealthy people” and she’s worth 70 million. This election is comedy,’ wrote one user on X.

‘The 70 MILLION DOLLAR Martha’s Vineyard Socialist, Michelle Obama,’ wrote another. ‘Oh, how times have changed.’
Another called out the entire DNC speaker schedule for slamming the rich while packing their own pockets.
‘DNC speakers last night: Jack Schlossberg: son of Caroline Kennedy. Will inherit around $100 million. Gov JB Pritzker: family founded Hyatt Hotel chain. His inherited wealth is around $3.6 billion. Doug Emhoff: worth >$10 million. Barack & Michelle Obama: worth $70+ million.’
The Obamas purchased the sprawling 28-acre vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard for $11.75 million in 2020, Homes & Gardens reported.
Obama delivered a series of blistering insults of Donald Trump in front of a roaring Democratic National Convention crowd on Tuesday night.
The former first lady called the Republican nominee misogynistic, racist, petty and small in the powerful takedown that upstaged her ex-president husband Barack Obama.
The 60-year-old said Kamala Harris is ‘my girl’ and called on the Democratic Party to unite behind her after the Obama inner circle was accused of helping force Joe Biden out of the race.
In a mic drop moment that sparked a frenzied reaction from the audience, she said of Trump: ‘Who’s going to tell him the job he’s currently seeking might be one of those black jobs?’

The Obamas spoke while Harris held a rally 90 miles away, sparking speculation the White House is angry over the role they allegedly played in Biden stepping aside.
Michelle declared ‘hope is making a comeback’ as she entered the arena Tuesday night after Harris was formally declared the Democratic presidential nominee.
She then hit Trump with a barrage of personal attacks on a night when her husband appeared to use a crude hand gesture to mock Donald’s ‘weird obsession’ with size.
Obama was a superstar in the United Center in Chicago. She is one of if not the most beloved Democrat in the party. Many hoped at one point she would run for president herself despite her past rejection of the political spotlight.
Michelle was one of the last to take the stage, after Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff retold the story of how they on a blind date following a divorce from his first wife.
The former first lady invoked hope was a reminder of her husband former president Obama’s own historic run for the presidency. Obama gave a ringing endorsement of Harris calling her ‘ready for this moment’.
But Michelle might be one of the most powerful advocates for Harris and Democrats without running in any race herself.
Her message was so well received, when she went to introduce her husband, the former president, he joked that he’s ready to go ‘even if I’m the only person stupid enough to speak right after Michelle Obama.’
