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."

She went all the way back to 2009 for this one.
INSUFFERABLE.
That chip is the size of a friggin’ redwood. Lucky she has the shoulders to carry it. “Ingrate” comes to mind.
Queen of the grievance culture. What millionaire woman doesn’t have lots to gripe about?
She is always angry about something.
If she could just do two things for me that would be great. 1) Go away. 2) Stay there.
If she could just do two things for me that would be great. 1) Go away. 2) Stay there.
One day she will have a stroke if she keeps all the anger inside.
WWMD?
What would Melania do?
You must mean "There are no limits to what she will whine about."
Complaining for Michelle is what building houses was for Jimmy Carter, painting ugly pictures is for George W. Bush, and banging MILFs is for Bill Clinton.
Her husband pushed a narrative, oversaw a coup in Ukraine and had the CIA lie about Trump and Russia which could lead us into WWIII with Russia - and yet she’s “infuriated” Barack wasn’t questioned about his wardrobe, and she supposedly was was, on a trip to the Grand Canyon
Time for some evaluation of priorities, and a little perspective, woman.
Wait, what’s the fix? That Barack wear a dress? Her anger makes no sense.
She lies like a Democrat.
Even worse, she lies like her DemocRAT husband.
“There are no limits to what she won’t whine about.”
Isn’t that the truth? To think that SHE thinks people would be interested in this incessant whining. What a childish, immature person.
I am glad this kind of stuff bothers her. Her whole head is full of this junk and it doesn’t appear to go away or leave her alone. More effective at punishing her than I could ever be. The plus side is Barry may have to deal with her foul mood.
Thats her wookie smile
