Remember when President Trump started tearing down part of the East Wing of the White House so he could build a ballroom there?

Well, that hit somebody very, very hard, specifically former First Lady Michelle Obama.

I'm Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green in this episode of Right Angles, brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com. And gentlemen, the former First Lady, Mrs. Obama, was on a podcast by somebody

named Jamie Kern Lima's podcast. And she said this, I think I felt the loss, meaning of the

East Wing of the White House. I think I felt the loss, meaning of the east wing of the White House,

I think I felt the loss for us as a nation.

But personally, you know, it's not our house.

That's the people's house.

Now, Stephen Green, what struck me about this is Mrs. Obama's effort to make this thing some sort of grand republic embracing concept

and not just that she was ticked off that President Trump tore up the house that she used to live

in. Here's, this is another statement from this, and the article helpfully tells us that

Obama was first lady from 2009 to 2017.

Anyway, she said her feelings stemmed from the country and its shared traditions rather

than a personal attachment. Now, I'm going to ask

both of you to react to this statement. So heads up on this too, Bill. And this is something that

was said in public by a former first lady. I think in my body, I felt confusion because I'm like, who are we? What do we value? And who decides that?

That's the thing that's going through my head a lot lately. Who are we? What are the rules?

Because I'm confused by what are our norms and our mores, not the laws, but how do we live together?

That's the part of it that hurts.

Stephen Green, are you feeling this in your body?

If weapons grade self-pity were a power source, Michelle Obama could restore power to all of

Ukraine.
