Wonder if she mistook her for someone in another role.

Like when Michelle Obama allegedly had a shopper ask her if she could reach the top shelf for detergent, thinking she was a sales clerk.

People Mag., 2014 had said President Obama described being mistaken for a waiter and a valet, indignities that illustrate his brushes, albeit minor, with racism.

The Christian Science Monitor pointed out the conservatives and countered that Michelle had a bright print outfit which did not look like any Target uniform and a shopper said “If you’re short and somebody is tall you can ask nicely for help. Happens all the time.” Michelle is 5 ft.11. And that her Letterman show description had discrepancies with the other account and may have been made up to elicit sympathy.

I never got that. Did Michelle just assume the woman thought she worked there because she asked her for help? I have asked taller people to get things for me from on high, and people who are shorter than I have asked me. That seems like a normal thing.

And wow, I have even offered to help people who seemed to need help!

That whole story was obviously fake when it came out. There is no way that the Secret Service is going to let some unknown, unvetted person get within arms reach of the First Lady. That just doesn't happen.
