I Can't Believe Michelle Obama Actually Said This
PJ Media ^ | 11/8/2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 11/08/2025 9:35:20 AM PST by simpson96

Michelle Obama has outdone herself. While Americans are caught in the middle of a government shutdown worrying whether their SNAP benefits will arrive and if they can put food on the table, the former First Lady took to a podcast with Jamie Kern Lima to promote her new book and complain about how hard her life was in the White House, with people waiting on her hand and foot. (snip)

During her conversation with Lima, Obama had the audacity to describe her “glam team” as not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Instead of acknowledging what an incredible privilege this was, she framed it as a burden, as if she was some kind of victim. She even complained that this assistance prevented her from presenting herself as off the rack, as though anyone expected her to shop at Target while living in the White House.

“I didn’t really have that choice as First Lady,” Michelle said. “Every day, every time I was up — as we called it — I was up for the public.” She described her daily schedule as long and exhausting, suggesting that relying on a team for her appearance was unavoidable.

“To save time,” she explained, “I know having a glam team — a trifecta — it feels like a luxury, but it was a necessity.”

She went on to say there was “absolutely no way” she could have done her own hair and makeup or kept up with outfits that fit properly, adding, “rare is the woman that can live off the rack.”

Yeah, that sounds tough, girl.

Her remarks were out of touch at any time, but they strike especially harsh now during the Schumer Shutdown, (snip) - yet she’s flaunting extreme wealth and portraying her glam team as victimhood.

That pic seems to have been scoured from the Internet. I want to use it matched with a pic of Benny the Moose when some leftist claims Trump is a Fascist.

Big Mike just needs to go back to Man’s World and work real “hard” on finding another “sucker”..... Will these vile creatures ever just go away and leave America alone? Spit.

The money spent on the glam team was wasted. There’s no way to improve what they had to work with.

Too old now, but I would have cheerfully undergone ten times her hardships in exchange for one tenth of the wealth that has accrued to her

If you need to have the government put food on your table for you, that’s a perilous situation that you need to extricate yourself from right away. Same with housing, medical care, etc.....

I can imagine the reprimand from the glam team supervisor: Girls, no more lipstick on Big Mike’s butt. It is getting old and not funny anymore. LOL LOL
