Michelle Obama has a short memory. Or, at the least, a selective memory. She was interviewed by her real-life friend CBS morning show host Gayle King (Oprah’s BFF) Thursday. The soft interview was to promote Michelle’s latest projects which include a Netflix special based on her most recent book, “The Light We Carry.” She told Gayle King that “unfettered” access to guns is a bad thing. And she said that there were no scandals in the Obama administration. That level of gaslighting is what we’ve come to expect from Obama fans and King is in that camp. How nice that she allows her friend to re-write history and doesn’t bother to challenge her narrative.

When King asked Obama what, if anything, can be done to “reconcile gun violence in this country”, about recent shootings across the country, Obama said, “I hope and pray that at some point, ‘enough becomes enough.’ She said she hopes Congress passes more anti-gun laws. She encouraged young people to get out and vote to change gun laws.

“More of us have to feel strongly about it. In particular our young people. This is where democracy comes in. Voting — all of this stuff is decided in the ballot box,” she urged.

“We are the only developed country on the planet where its citizens can have unfettered access to firearms. That is not a good thing,” she added.

Then her friend, Gayle, slobbered out a question about the lack of scandals in the Obama administration. I know. This is why you don’t let friends interview friends if you are to be taken seriously.

“I mean you went eight years where there were really relatively no scandals to speak of, compared to what we’re dealing with even now,” King stated as Obama nodded along. King asked if the couple felt “enormous pressure” as the first Black president and first lady in the White House.

“Absolutely,” Obama said. She argued that her husband’s success or failure would impact the Black community.

“So yes, Barack knew that he couldn’t afford a scandal. I mean, he wore a tan suit and got criticized,” she replied.

The former first lady added that setting a good example was “part of the job” when you are president.

Excuse me? Did we live through the same eight years in America? Barack Obama the most divisive president in my lifetime, before Joe Biden took that title. What a load of malarkey.

I’m old enough to remember several scandals from St. Barack’s time in the White House. His administration got off on a bad foot when he sent Hillary Clinton to deliver a red plastic “reset” button that was incorrectly worded in Russian to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on March 6, 2009, in Geneva. She embarrassed the country. Suddenly the smartest woman in the world looked not so smart after all. That was less than two months after Obama took office.

Yes, Michelle, setting a good example is a part of the job but Obama was divisive as he delivered racially charged statements whenever possible. Because of his attentiveness to the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, the Black Lives Matter movement gained a foothold in news coverage. Obama’s wingman, Attorney General Eric Holder attended Brown’s funeral on behalf of the administration. The White House sent three more officials to that funeral than they did to Margaret Thatcher’s funeral the year before. Priorities.

Scandals, there were a few. Speaking of guns, what about Operation Fast and Furious? The Obama Justice Department lost track of thousands of guns that were allowed into the hands of suspected smugglers, in the hope of tracing them to Mexican drug cartels. One of those guns was traced back to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. What about the State Department emails and Hillary’s private email server in her home? There was the scandal of IRS Director Lois Lerner targeting conservatives for tax audits. Remember Benghazi? Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in the attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya. Since it was close to the 2012 election, the press was happy to downplay the murder of an ambassador in order to help out their pal Barack in his re-election bid. Obama presided over the biggest data breach in the federal government’s history at the Office of Personnel Management. The personnel files of millions of federal employees were exposed. Last, but not least in a quick overview of some Obama-era scandals was the Veterans Affairs scandal that exposed more than 40 deaths of veterans who died waiting for appointments.

The re-writing of the Obama days is quite breathtaking. It was a horrible eight years for conservatives. We haven’t forgotten, despite what Michelle thinks.
