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.

Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing from Bathhouse Barry and Big Mike?!
I’ll bet she never lost her personal ass wipers, either.
Well, her First Lady days are over, but I can see that both her and Miss Lima had glam teams in full force before that was taped.
Its more obvious every day she was simply a “beard,” used to hide Obama’s homosexuality, for his pre-planned, intel-controlled, political rise.
Being oppressed by the white man is kinda tough.
You folks have no understanding of her/him/they/them’s plight.
Lol.
Mrs Obama’s promlem was not the glam elitist lifestyle she cherished, but that she took so much of her lifestyle as 1st Lady, not as a privilege but as an entitlement.

Do you think she could have handled the hate Trump’s wife receives?
Soooo pathetic!
Yup. The fatigue is real.
Just think how many books he could sell if he wrote a “tell-all” about life as a tranny in the White House.
She was led to believe she’d be queen for life
I don't follow such things closely, but it seems to me that she's been doing more interviews and staying in the public eye. And being the "victim"? It's what they know.
Oh, and marital issue rumors? One suspects (but does not know) that it's just another publicity stunt.
Me!!!
And she thinks she’s still entitled.
Two things I take as evidence of the Obama’s view of the public: Mr. Obama’s picture of him scowling while looking down his nose at the camera (no doubt copied from Mussolini, the chief fascist), and Mrs. Obama’s remark to her husband during a presentation of the U.S. flag and National Anthem, “All this fuss over a flag?”
This horrible “woman” had a personal staff way larger than any 1st Lady by a lot. An army of pillow fluffers and servants. I think HRC was 2nd. Jill probably would too but she could not keep the lid on the fraud that was the Biden Presidency with a large staff.
Yep. All the way back to Trinity Lutheran’s down low club which had a harem of u married women to attach to political players in Chicago. They didn’t even have sex to procreate their daughters (IVF).
She looked stunning in that Russet potato sack appearance.
