Poor woman has such a tough job:
Michelle Obama thinks being America's First Lady is 'hell', Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet new book.
Miss Bruni reveals that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president's wife: 'Don't ask! It's hell. I can't stand it!'
Details of the private conversation, which took place at the White House during an official visit by Nicolas Sarkozy last March, emerged in Carla And The Ambitious, a book written in collaboration with Miss Bruni.
I honestly don't know how true this story is but with this bunch and this particular First Lady, it has the ring of truth.
A rather loud ring.

She is under no obligation to remain First Lady. It's a free country (at least for the time being).

For the first time in my adult life I am NOT proud of a First Lady.

For the first time in their adult lives, Barack and Michelle are being judged on how well they actually do their jobs.
Oh well, time to call the WHAAAAAAmbulance and cue the violins, I suppose.

In a bit over two years she will have to worry about being an ex and our national nightmare of having a first wookie will be over.

You know, he isn't REQUIRED to finish his term, if it's so bad for her. He could always step down and return to Chicago. (Yeah, I know we'd have a the rather dim Joe Biden as the new POTUS, but that's still a vast improvement over the current malevolent POTUS)

I guess the PR makeover for the FLOTUS will require some extra baby kissing to help humanize her public persona...

Ms. Bruni asked her what it was like being Obama's wife, i.e. married to the doofus, and she said it's hell. That's way different from being the First Lady, which I'm sure she loves.

The Hell is in the fact that she is no longer being paid $300,000+ to do nothing. Now she has to do nothing for FREE. Of course her expenses are all paid for, but the various foundations picked up the tab when she was a "private citizen" anyway.

I bet the job is hell. But she shouldn't admit that publicly.
And it's gotten better since conservatives stopped circulating pictures of the First Lady juxtaposed with chimpanzees in racist emails sent by Republican Party officials... heh.

I will say she is a very classy woman. She is, however, not an enthusiast for our country. She has never been proud of our country until 2008. That is disgraceful. ww

Hey, Michelle,
You know what hell is? Hell is listening to you whining about being First Lady and watching you try to dictate what my family is allowed to eat in restaurants.

Must be difficult to be one of that pair of profoundly-ignorant morbid narcissists with massive inferiority complexes and wake up every day, get themselves up on an elbow, look all around those spartin quarters and ask, "Is this really all there is?" Before also being struck with that other awful realization of the day that my Grandma got it right all of those decades ago when she told me, "You simply can not make strawberry jam from pig poop."
Roll around January 20 2013, please, Dear Lord?
