Michelle Obama Staffer Reveals What It's Like Working For The First Lady
Elite Daily ^ | 6/27/2017 | Joseph Milord

If you've ever had questions about what it's like working for Michelle Obama, one woman has all answers.

That woman is Melissa Winters, Obama's long-time aide and current chief of staff.

In an account to Cosmopolitan, Winters described her journey alongside the former first lady, which began during the 2008 presidential campaign.(snip)

When Obama was in a bad mood, there was a simple solution: “Just put her in a room with children. She loves kids.”

Of course, there was one bad mood that didn't seem to have an easy fix, and that was the night that Donald Trump got elected. Winters was texting Obama when the first lady had decided that the best reaction to the news was to go to bed.

In fairness, staffers for the Mooch were probably a lot luckier than those who had to wait on the drunken Hildebeast.

SIMPSON96! You forgot the BARF! alert. But I did read that ‘bet’ talked about her being the most awesome first lady ever.

Put her in a room with black children. Have never seen her in a room with white children.

MICHELLE OBAMA is past history. It’s time to move on and embrace First Lady MELANIA TRUMP.

"She loves kids."

The same way Barry likes dogs.

She might be nice and fun privately, but I bet she’s a whole lot of bouge. And she knew how to get the max out of her subsidized position. She had Barry by the short and curlies too (not that she’d ever seen them) - he probably couldn’t refuse her anything.

I always thought making sure the children were enrolled in school, went to camp, or had internships was one of the main job of the parents. Yes, it’s not alot of fun to handle all of this stuff, but it’s just part of being a parent. Must be nice just to hand all that grunt work over to someone else and pay them to do your job. Actually, it’s the kids job to find the internships themselves if they are old enough and go thru the process just like every other kid applying for an internship.

Ummm...given that she still works for the Obamas, it’s a given that we’d get a fluff story.

How does she handle that pesky gag reflex? I get it just seeing a picture or M’s name written down...

When Clinton was in a bad mood, there was a simple solution: “Just put her in a room with liquor. She loves liquor.”

“she loves kids”

They didn’t challenge her.

Let’s see what the Secret Service agents have to say. A sycophant is not going to be the most objective source of information.
