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."

“That would be crazy. People would call me ‘disconnected’ and ‘un-American.’
Michelle, that ship has already sailed.
“You don’t understand!!! It’s about MEEEEEE!! Me, I’m so special! I’m soooo offended, look at meeeeeee!!! I used to be in the news all the time and now we need again to focus on MEEEEEEE!!!!”
Big Mike is so boring.
The indignation. Poor woman, just had a million dollar an hour flight on AF1 and she had to worry about her shorts. Really. This poor woman has suffered unimaginable humiliations her whole time as 1st wookie.
She dug back to this and still hates America and Barry. She couldn’t resist another jab at him with “because that’s what a man would do.” This grotesque woman was slobbered over by the dnc media whores. She could have worn a burlap sack and they would fawn over what a trendsetter and how great her arms look rendered with ash.
Why anyone gives Big Mike the time of day is beyond me.
Big Mike still in a rage about being exposed ?
Only going to get worse you deviant.
She/he can wear bermuda shorts if she/he has a “WIDE LOAD” on the rear.
Thank God there wasn’t a decorative cotton plant within sight.
Well! She should have just resigned right then and there.
I thought it captured her perfectly!
All women do is complain. Especially these days.
LOL...I remember th original Star Trek TOS Episode that the image came from.
Please pass the salt. 😁
Instead of being a salt-sucker Big Mike is a Soul-Sucker.
Much Scarier.
The fact she wanted to dress like a “normal” person says to me she is coming from a position of abnormal.
LOL...+100!
When I think of the struggles of ordinary people, her whining infuriates me to no end.
It didn’t matter what you wore whining Moochie, you looked fugly no matter whatever you wore.
I thought you missed the "m" in chimp.
“All women do is complain. Especially these days.”
Start looking for a better class of women, I’ve found they are not all like that. It may be because your president made me 35% larger. (ha ha)
Now now.
I remember when he was panned for wearing Mom Jeans.
