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

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.

Poor woman, it seems she had busier days than Barry Soetoro, even busier than Biden during his time in the White House; they should erect a monument to her for those great sacrifices.

Glam teams? Well, that there is another blatant example of DEI, Fraud, waste, and abuse or a combination of the two.

And yet she’s complaining about the building of the ballroom because it’s destroying the sanctity of the East Room where she spent a lot of time. (This is not an exact quote from her but she was complaining about a place that she has stated contempt for now being ruined.)

DITTO! She’s vile and is basically telling us that she’s lazy. She’d rather do anything than work at her marriage, her family or her position as ‘first lady’!

“rare is the woman that can live off the rack.”

== == ==

That sounds like some sexual reference. But I am glad I don’t really know.

This is why the fear expressed by some on the right was unfounded. She’s basically lazy. Too lazy to have campaigned for sure.

Target would have been a step up, from what I saw...
