Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed on a recent episode of her podcast that she was left infuriated by a moment on Air Force One in 2009 when she debated whether to wear Bermuda shorts while on vacation (snip)
"The fact that we had to spend time thinking about that kind of stuff in ways that my husband didn’t — it was really infuriating," Obama said during an episode on her podcast (snip)
The former first lady explained that in August 2009 she and the former president were set to depart Air Force One for a hike in the Grand Canyon while on their first vacation since the inauguration earlier that year. While she fretted over what attire would be appropriate for a first lady and not draw public criticism, Barack Obama did not need to put effort into thinking about his outfit, she recounted.
"It was 100 degrees," Michelle Obama remembered of the conversation. "Barack — I was like, 'Well, what are you wearing?' He was like, 'Well, I'm gonna throw on some sneakers, I'm gonna take my jacket off and roll my sleeves up' because that's what men can do. White shirt, no collar, no tie. That was how he changed." (snip)
"I can't wear hiking shorts there, and I can't wear a dress to hike," she said. "That would be crazy. People would call me 'disconnected' and 'un-American.' I'm at the Grand Canyon in a tea-length dress with flats? I was like, 'That's not how people go to the Grand Canyon.'"
"I eventually opted for the thing that felt mostly me," Michelle Obama continued. "And it was the Bermuda shorts. Because if we're going on a hike, this is how a normal person would go on a hike."

Such a bitter, angry man
Isn’t her normal garb just a bandolier and a blaster rifle?
Hiking? That outfit would have scared the wildlife.
Everything infuriated her. This country gave her everything and all she could do was complain about how bad it is, the ingrate.
Inst it great when the now feminized media runs a liberal sympathy piece, and it doesn’t play out the way they think it will?
Her advisers were worried that her being seen in that outfit would drive half the world into celibacy?
In all fairness, Obama should have just left her whiny ass at home. Who wants to vacation with Mikey?
What a boring privileged jerk.
Michelle, going for a hike in the Grand Canyon while on vacation????? She isn’t the hiking type.
The real Michelle shops the Riviera in shorts, accompanied by an entourage of twenty!
Why do the Murdoch keep giving this person air time on Fox?
Why is FR interested?
In fairness, “her” package is much larger than Barack’s and she has to be careful with shorts.
The idea that her husband actually didn’t worry about what he would wear in the public eye is absolutely preposterous.
It is fun that Barack is the only thing that annoys her more than white people.
Not just annoy, everything “infuriates” her.
The eeeeevil patriarchy strikes again, eh, Mike?
"Well, I'm gonna marry an ambitious man who makes a lot of money, spend my entire life pissing and moaning about what I DON'T have, and enjoy my sunset years living high off the money my dead husband (who died young from working his ass off) left me, because that's what women can do."
Very.
She’s a bitter malcontent.
and they get mad because successful black guys marry white women. Typical angry black woman.
Just like his lying mooselimb socialist con man hubby.
Well said.
