Clinton had said at a stop in Ohio:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing, and everyone will know that we should do the right thing, and the world would be perfect.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hillary isn\u2019t going to let such grandeur be wasted on someone else, only her presidency could bring about such a messianic moment, surely.<\/p>\n<p>Insiders say that Michelle looks down her nose at the Clintons \u2014 she is taller and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/accesspolitics\/2016\/06\/hillary-wore-a-12000-carpet-and-youre-sexist-if-you-hated-it\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">much better dresser<\/a> \u2014 but apparently the feeling is mutual as Hillary doesn\u2019t believe Michelle has done enough as first lady and has let too many federal programs left to her charge dissolve.<\/p>\n<p>While Hillary is power hungry, Michelle is more interested in starving school children and depriving them the joy of chips and soda. And just as Hillary is pining to climb her way back into a separate bedroom than Bill and his lady friends in the White House, Michelle has indicated that she can\u2019t wait to escape the house built by slaves and leave the world of politics behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe notion of sitting around the table with a set of policy advisers \u2013 no offense \u2013 makes me yawn,\u201d Michelle once said. Or was that her husband who said that?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, rubbing salt in the wound \u2014 wait, scratch that. Salt is bad for you. (Right, FLOTUS?)\u2026 Rubbing kale in the wound, Michelle not-so-subtly expressed further disdain for Hillary by not ever hosting couples\u2019 dinners while she was secretary of state and secretly hoped her pal Joe Biden would run against Hillary and beat her to a pulp. What a sweetheart!<\/p>\n<p>But like her rival, Michelle is ready to hit the speaking trail after two long terms at the White House. Like her nemesis, she\u2019ll probably leave 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue dead broke and will desperately need a seven-figure book deal stat. According to Michelle\u2019s aides, she\u2019s ready for those Hillary-esque speaking fees.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019ll need the money, too, in order to keep up with her high-fashion needs. Maybe she\u2019ll put a little extra aside to replace Barack\u2019s mom jeans with something a little more Levi Strauss and a lot less Jordache.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-258\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/676\/2016\/06\/mom-jeans-1024x765.png\" alt=\"mom-jeans\" width=\"582\" height=\"435\"><\/p>\n<h6>PHOTO CREDIT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/8HHHvyvZHj\/?taken-by=michelleobama&amp;hl=en\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/h6>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book details just how much Michelle Obama hates Hillary Clinton.
