Michelle Obama’s new podcast is crashing hard, and folks aren’t surprised. The former First Lady teamed up with her brother Craig Robinson for “IMO,” but the numbers tell a sad story. The first episodes barely cracked 20,000 views on YouTube in their first day. Comments flooded in with things like “nobody asked for this” and “desperate attempt to stay relevant.” It’s clear the public isn’t buying what she’s selling.
The podcast’s flop highlights a bigger problem. Liberals keep pushing washed-up celebrities into media, thinking we still care. Michelle spends an hour chatting about her husband’s bad time management and her kids’ embarrassment over turkey pardons. Who wants to hear that? Conservatives have dominated the podcast world with common-sense talk, while liberals like Michelle offer nothing but boring gossip.
Even her own fans seem bored. The episodes drag on for nearly an hour, filled with vague advice and tired stories about marriage. People online roasted the show, calling it “empty” and “forced.” One user joked it should be a “punishment podcast.” Michelle’s attempt to sound relatable falls flat when she complains about Barack’s bathroom breaks instead of addressing real issues.
The timing is suspicious, too. Rumors about the Obamas’ marriage problems have been swirling for months. Michelle skipped big events like Trump’s inauguration and Jimmy Carter’s funeral, while Barack showed up alone at a basketball game. Now she’s airing their dirty laundry on a failing podcast? It feels like a distraction from their crumbling image.
Democrats hoped Michelle could save their messaging troubles, but even they admit her influence is overrated. She’s not connecting with everyday Americans. While conservatives focus on border security and putting America first, Michelle’s podcast whines about petty gripes. It’s no wonder viewers are tuning out.
The Obamas used to be media darlings, but those days are gone. Michelle’s podcast joins a long list of liberal projects that miss the mark. From Gavin Newsom’s awkward interviews to celebrity activists preaching about climate change, the left keeps pushing elitist nonsense. Regular folks just want solutions, not more rich people problems.
This disaster should be a wake-up call. Wasting time on vanity projects while the country faces real challenges shows how out-of-touch Democrats are. Michelle could’ve used her platform to support veterans or small businesses. Instead, she’s stuck in the past, rehashing old drama.
The podcast’s failure proves one thing: Americans are done with the Obama era. They want leaders who fight for the nation, not has-beens chasing clicks. Michelle’s 15 minutes are up, and no amount of fake views or celebrity friends can change that. It’s time for her to step aside and let real patriots lead the conversation.
