I assume it’s an ironic term, like calling an obese man “Slim” or a bald guy “Curly”.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

“ No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state. ”

I agree - the line is in the script so we have no indication that it represents her true feelings. Having noted that caveat, one is left with several questions:

a) What in the samhill is a First Lady doing by appearing in a sitcom? Have we no sense of the dignity of the position? (and why do we insist on asking self-evident rhetorical questions?)

b) Didn’t anyone in Ms Obama’s staff recognize the inappropriateness of this line in the script?
