Are President Obama and his wife having some kind of lover’s quarrel?
Speaking at a private event in Singapore on Monday, President Obama said that if women ran every country, we would all live with significantly improved living standards and there would be less war and strife. When it comes to leadership, women are “indisputably better” than men, Obama said, according to the BBC, which was apparently invited to the event.
Most of the world’s problems, Obama said, stem from too many old men in positions of power, an obvious slight directed at President Donald Trump, though he wasn’t explicitly named.
Although they’re not perfect, women are so much more advanced and even-headed than men, that Obama believes if women were given two years running every country on earth, all of our problems would be fixed.
“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].”
“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything…living standards and outcomes.”
When asked if he would ever consider going back into political leadership, he said he believed in leaders stepping aside when the time came.
“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he said.
“It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power.”
For the record, there was no hint in the BBC story about Obama’s comments that he was joking.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, both traveled to Kuala Lumpur last week for an Obama Foundation event, and were apparently still in the region for Obama to appear at this event.

Paving the way for Big Mike?
You beat me to it.
It appears as if the die has been cast.
Big Mike for the win.
Vice-President Oprah or Ambassadress to the New World Federation?
God help us…..

That was my interpretation also. Just like everything on the Left it is always twisted and fraudulent….Bathhouse Barry shilling for womyn leadership to be represented by Big Mike (not a woman!)….Sasha and Malia look nothing like the “parents” and I always challenge my lefty pals to produce a picture of a pregnant Moochelle…..so far nobody has. I think there is at least a 25% chance Michelle Obama is actually male….there is something flopping around in there that I have never noticed on actual females.
Maybe it is just a big clit?
There have been some good women leaders. I’m with Ian Rubbish on this
It’s always funny to me how the left states as fact what flies in the face of observable reality. And it’s Obama’s husband, not wife. Michelle is a guy.
He should be smart enough to never make such a broad statement. It would be akin to saying “White people are smarter than minorities and should always be in power”.
He would never say anything that close to the truth.
“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
“Hear this word, you [well-fed, pampered] cows (women) of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
Who say to their husbands, “Bring [the wine] now, and let us drink!”
Amos 4:1 (AMP)
The Lovers of the Poor
by Gwendolyn Brooks
arrive.
The Ladies from the Ladies’ Betterment League
Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
Here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.
Cutting with knives served by their softest care,
Served by their love, so barbarously fair.
Whose mothers taught: You’d better not be cruel!
You had better not throw stones upon the wrens!
Herein they kiss and coddle and assault
A new and dearly in the innocence
With which they baffle nature. Who are full,
Sleek, tender-clad, fit, fiftyish, a-glow, all
Sweetly abortive, hinting at fat fruit,
Judge it high time that fiftyish fingers felt
Beneath the lovelier planes of enterprise.
To resurrect. To moisten with milky chill.
To be a random hitching-post or plush.
To be, for wet eyes, random and handy hem.
Their guild is giving money to the poor.
The worthy poor. The very very worthy
And beautiful poor. Perhaps just not too swarthy?
perhaps just not too dirty nor too dim
Nor—passionate. In truth, what they could wish
Is—something less than derelict or dull.
Not staunch enough to stab, though, gaze for gaze!
God shield them sharply from the beggar-bold!
The noxious needy ones whose battle’s bald
Nonetheless for being voiceless, hits one down.
But it’s all so bad! and entirely too much for them.
The stench; the urine, cabbage, and dead beans,
Dead porridges of assorted dusty grains,
The old smoke, heavy diapers, and, they’re told,
Something called chitterlings. The darkness. Drawn
Darkness, or dirty light. The soil that stirs.
The soil that looks the soil of centuries.
And for that matter the general oldness. Old
Wood. Old marble. Old tile. Old old old.
Not homekind Oldness! Not Lake Forest, Glencoe.
Nothing is sturdy, nothing is majestic,
There is no quiet drama, no rubbed glaze, no
Unkillable infirmity of such
A tasteful turn as lately they have left,
Glencoe, Lake Forest, and to which their cars
Must presently restore them. When they’re done
With dullards and distortions of this fistic
Patience of the poor and put-upon.
They’ve never seen such a make-do-ness as
Newspaper rugs before! In this, this “flat,”
Their hostess is gathering up the oozed, the rich
Rugs of the morning (tattered! the bespattered. . . .)
Readies to spread clean rugs for afternoon.
Here is a scene for you. The Ladies look,
In horror, behind a substantial citizeness
Whose trains clank out across her swollen heart.
Who, arms akimbo, almost fills a door.
All tumbling children, quilts dragged to the floor
And tortured thereover, potato peelings, soft-
Eyed kitten, hunched-up, haggard, to-be-hurt.
Their League is allotting largesse to the Lost.
But to put their clean, their pretty money, to put
Their money collected from delicate rose-fingers
Tipped with their hundred flawless rose-nails seems . . .
They own Spode, Lowestoft, candelabra,
Mantels, and hostess gowns, and sunburst clocks,
Turtle soup, Chippendale, red satin “hangings,”
Aubussons and Hattie Carnegie. They Winter
In Palm Beach; cross the Water in June; attend,
When suitable, the nice Art Institute;
Buy the right books in the best bindings; saunter
On Michigan, Easter mornings, in sun or wind.
Oh Squalor! This sick four-story hulk, this fibre
With fissures everywhere! Why, what are bringings
Of loathe-love largesse? What shall peril hungers
So old old, what shall flatter the desolate?
Tin can, blocked fire escape and chitterling
And swaggering seeking youth and the puzzled wreckage
Of the middle passage, and urine and stale shames
And, again, the porridges of the underslung
And children children children. Heavens! That
Was a rat, surely, off there, in the shadows? Long
And long-tailed? Gray? The Ladies from the Ladies’
Betterment League agree it will be better
To achieve the outer air that rights and steadies,
To hie to a house that does not holler, to ring
Bells elsetime, better presently to cater
To no more Possibilities, to get
Away. Perhaps the money can be posted.
Perhaps they two may choose another Slum!
Some serious sooty half-unhappy home!—
Where loathe-love likelier may be invested.
Keeping their scented bodies in the center
Of the hall as they walk down the hysterical hall,
They allow their lovely skirts to graze no wall,
Are off at what they manage of a canter,
And, resuming all the clues of what they were,
Try to avoid inhaling the laden air.
For a time, I tried to merge my family into a Life Christian church community in an attempt to douse the Pentacostal and Baptist remnants of my childhood upbringing in the calm, dignified worship that mirrored my husband’s Catholic upbringing. I thought it made a nice bridge, for a while. They served Oyster Crackers on a platter for kids at communion time. Seriously. Feed. The. Children.
So, there was this pathetic couple who attended and I sort of took the young mother under my wing by accident. As my son has since taught me, my natural welcoming smile makes people think I am nicer than I really am. My tendency toward being kind also makes them think I care more than I do, he also told me. I was asked to visit the home and report back. A “team” of a dozen “sisters” of the congregation descended upon a nasty little Silverstream trailer in a dingy little mobile home park to clean up what was the dirtiest home I’ve ever seen.
She’d just had her second child and the first one was five and hardly looked three.
By the end of the day, our “team” was down to three, but we managed to get the place clean and vermin-free.
I stayed the for the whole of the cleaning commitment, but I completely understood the Ladies of the Betterment League looking for a little bit “better” class of poor to give their charity to a more worthy bunch of poor people. Ones that don’t smell so bad.
Seriously, I crawled under the bed and pulled wads of dirty underwear from underneath and the children’s room was infested with roaches.
I would NOT be involved in such an effort now. I would offer to give the children a place to stay until state authorities found placement, if such a process existed. But, I would NOT clean up another lazy ass woman’s mess.
Women can be just as manipulative as men, tend to be vengeful and, in my experience?, they can be twice as corrupt when they are in leadership positions.
“I would NOT be involved in such an effort now.”
did no good come of it at all? some people simply need to be shown.
Some people need to be shown? Shown what? Common sense? I have seen lazy ass people and they all lived in filth and squalor. Look at public housing, it starts out nice and in a few weeks looks like landfill. Look at the homeless encampments over here and compare them to Japan’s homeless. I have no patience or energy for lazy and shiftless people who expect others to take care of them. I’m there for the truly needy and helpless, like some elder folk and little kids otherwise I am 100% in agreement with Maggie’s comment.
Homeless Japan…
Homeless LA…note the piles of trash and filth? Poverty is NOT synonymous with nasty dirty…
“Some people need to be shown? Shown what? Common sense?”
yes.
did no good come of it at all?
I read that in 8th grade. Funny how even then the problem is never the people who foul their own nest, who leave the diapers loaded or the halls that reek of urine, it’s us. It’s always us.
That sounds just like what Michael’s bitch would say.
Of course. For the greater good . #DownWithThePatriarchy

Did Women’s Suffrage Change the Size and
Scope of Government?
VI. Conclusion
Giving women the right to vote significantly changed American politics from the very beginning. Despite claims to the contrary, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue, and these effects continued growing as more women took advantage of the franchise. Similar changes occurred at the federal level as female suffrage led to more liberal voting records for the state’s U.S. House and Senate delegations. In the Senate, suffrage changed voting behavior by an amount equal to almost 20 percent of the difference between Republican and Democratic senators.
Suffrage also coincided with changes in the probability that
prohibition would be enacted and changes in divorce laws. We were
also able to deal with questions of causality by taking advantage of
the fact that while some states voluntarily adopted suffrage, others
where compelled to do so by the Nineteenth Amendment.
The conclusion was that suffrage dramatically changed government in both
cases. Accordingly, the effects of suffrage we estimate are not reflecting some other factor present in only states that adopted suffrage.
Only two commenters of the dozen or more address the topic at hand: feminism is a weapon of the NWO. I hope y’all remember by rule of thumb about the best person for president or whatever #1 leader of a country.
Hows this working out in Sweden?

No comment. Make of it what you will.
Beastly in pink
In all fairness, most women are ugly. Make-up is losing that war.
Sweet Jesus that’s nasty.
A Communist, a Muslim, and a homosexual walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Hello President Obama”.
“Obama Says Women Are “Indisputably Better” Than Men, And Should Lead Every Country”
He should know, As he’s only a man per his anatomy. Mentally, he’s a camel toe.
Sounds like the other Mr. Obama is gearing up to run for President and the former President has been directed to lay the groundwork.
Coming from a homo with a fixation on transvestites, this is funny. All of us who have had the pleasure of working under a woman boss know how stable, professional, and honorable the average woman in a position of power is.
Maybe Admin can attest to that.
“Women Are ‘Indisputably Better’ Than Men” …
… at achieving obama’s owners’ goals for the rest of us. it’s true.
the headline about “man has sex change, marries self”, so outrageously funny then, seems so corruptly tame now ….
Look at the harpies he had in his admin: rice, power, jarrett, clinton;
jeez, irreparable damage resulted, war mongering, drone atks on civilians, R2P from power, and then there is clinton and libya and arms supplies to the terrorists.
It`ll take a generation to wash that stain off.
She might think so but no so likely as we’ve already seen demonstrated.
Of course his ultimate goal is the destruction of our nation and more generally white western civilization, so he’s not wrong with that in mind.
It has been said by some that this is another indication which shows Hillary may be deciding to run once again for the office of President of the United States. If true, this may be a very good reason for the Senate to drag out the impeachment trial as long as possible. It would be to President Trump’s advantage for her to declare her candidacy before the trial ends. You see, the first article of the House’s impeachment states that Trump was having the President of Ukraine investigate his “political rival”. Of course this is not true because to be his rival, Biden would have to be the democratic nominee for the 2020 election. As of now there is no such person. If Hillary decides to enter the race for the democratic nomination, Biden would most certainly not become the nominee and the first article would be null and void. With out the first article, there could not be a second article of contempt as there would be no need for an investigation. The whole impeachment trial could then be thrown out because the whole thing will fall apart.
The symbology of male impotence in popular culture.
I wonder if Barack will be visiting his nation of citizenship, Indonesia during this trip?
Well, obunghole was our first female president because his husband big mike pounded that every nite…..
Oh geez. Another bout of ‘my head has never been on straight’ from ‘I am one confused individual ‘. He has gotten away with so many anything goes that he really does not care what he says
