Michelle Obama: Being First Lady is like living in a ‘really nice prison’ BY CHARLIE SPIERING | JULY 2, 2013 AT 8:50 AM

First Lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday described living in the White House as like being in a “really nice prison.”

Obama’s comment came during her discussion with former First Lady Laura Bush at the African First Ladies Summit in Tanzania during an interview moderated by journalist Cokie Roberts.

Roberts noted that Martha Washington, the first First Lady, also described living in the role as akin to being a state prisoner.

Obama said she loved her job and found it liberating in some respects, but confining in others.

“There are some prison elements to it,” she joked. “But it’s a really nice prison.”

Former first lady Laura Bush reminded the crowd that First Ladies had a chef.

“You can’t complain,” Michelle Obama admitted. “But there is definitely elements that are confining.”

Is that what they call “the plantation” now? A prison?

It's just hell on earth I tell you - It's just like being in a prison.

Except for the fact I have 26 personal servants, that everything
is free and of the finest quality, that I freely travel anywhere in
the world as I please, and that millions of ignoramuses treat my
idiotic babbling as if it is great wisdom from the Prophet himself.

I look forward to the day her and the usurper are living in a real bad prison, penitentiary style.

She must mean Guantanamo. You can’t get a much plusher prison than the one that US taxpayers have outfitted with every convenience so that jihadists who want to kill us will be happy.
