But now we said it 🥴
show on Tuesday, Obama was asked about the controversy involving DeGeneres and the former president. After mentioning that the former first lady was friends with both “Ellen and my dad,” Hager invoked Barack Obama’sabout the dangers of “cancel culture” to ask about people “that want to be closer with each other.”
“I had an opportunity to sit by your father at funerals, the highs and the lows. And we shared stories about our kids and about our parents,” Michelle Obama said. “Our values are the same.” “We disagree on policy, but we don’t disagree on humanity. We don’t disagree about love and compassion,” she continued. “I think that’s true for all of us. It’s just that we get lost in our fear of what’s different.”In her remarks — particularly about how her “values” are the same as Bush’s — Obama gives us an even clearer picture than DeGeneres did of how people near the top of our power structures view themselves as fundamentally aligned.
