From Breitbart: Michelle Obama did not receive a warm welcome on social media after touting her self-help workbook Overcoming, which the former first lady hopes will help people “get through the challenging periods life throws our way.”
Obama shared a video holding the workbook for the first time, describing it as a “timely” gift or purchase. It remains unclear if she is suggesting it is timely as it comes just weeks after President-elect Donald Trump won the presidential election and will take office again on January 20.
Making a pitch to try to sell her book, Obama said, “My new workbook, Overcoming, is out! It’s going to be on shelves. This is the first time I’ve held it myself. This is a timely gift or purchase for yourself, because this is a workbook that takes you through some techniques and exercises based on some of the insights I shared with you all in The Light That We Carry.”
“So I encourage you, particularly during this time, during the holiday season, during a time where we feel a little out of sorts, a little anxious,” she continued.
“I’m so excited to give you a first look at Overcoming — a workbook designed to help you get through the challenging periods life throws our way. With the holidays coming up, this workbook will be a great gift for your family, friends, and all the people you care about. It comes out on December 3 and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts,” she wrote, while posting the video on social media.

Obama is getting lambasted by social media users for the video. Below is just a sampling of the comments pouring in:
Nobody has divided our country more than you and Obama.
Next book you can write – How to overcome the destruction and divisive culture you and your husband have left behind.
Nobody cares. You and Barry destroyed this great nation.
Yeah no thanks! How about working harder and stop complaining.
What did you overcome exactly?
We are overcoming the horrible era of the 0bama’s. I don’t need a book on how to recover…
Who would buy this crap?
No one is buying that POS! Stop ripping off American people to make you rich!!
I would rather hug a grizzly bear or spend a day shopping at the mall than read that garbage book. 😂
I rather read this 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/a07JVexIid

Many X users pointed to how wealthy the Obamas have become, nothing they certainly are having any financial struggles.

Amid the countless comments mocking the video, we did find one that praised Michelle Obama.
The person wrote, “Millions upon millions of women, myself included, miss so very much your dignity and grace. I hope this book helps me to get through the next four years. Sending love to you and President Obama.”
