‘I see the worry creasing his face’: Michelle Obama reveals the toll of presidential office on her husband

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 1:22 PM on 1st July 2011

First lady Michelle Obama gave a fascinating insight into just how heavily the weight of office rests on her husband's shoulders and how the job of president has taken it's toll.

Speaking at a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee in Massachusetts she told of his total dedication to the job and told how she worries about the increasing number of lines on his face

She said: 'I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice.

''You won’t believe what these folks are going through;' he told me that last night.

''Michelle, it is not right. We’ve got to fix this. We have to do more,'

'Barack always reminds me that we are playing a long game,

'He reminds me, as I said to you, too, that change is slow.

'He reminds me that change doesn’t happen all at once, but that if we keep showing up, if we keep fighting the good fight, doing what we know is right, then eventually we will get there, because the truth is we always have in this country. We always have.'

Michelle Obama said that when her husband first told her he was planning to run for president she had serious doubts about how it would affect their young family.

She added: 'I was proud of the work that he was doing in the Senate. And I thought that he would make a phenomenal president.

'That wasn’t the issue.

“I see the worry creasing his face.”

Wrinkles are a common effect of smoking, as well as excessive alcohol and drug use. Just sayin ...

Worried that he is going to be exposed with proof of being the treasonous conspirator that he is. He certainly is not worried about the people of this country, else he would not be throwing out everything about this country that has been proven to be good and workable. Nobody is stupid enough to do virtually everything wrong. Even an idiot gets something right every now and then just by accident.

Michelle, that's nothing compared to how we feel.

Other things Michelle has said:

“Barack has lead by example, when we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country of Kenya..”

And

"Mexico Still Safe for Travel"

How wonderfully scripted! We want to thank the DNC, the White House staff and press corps, Code Pink, Media Matters, George Soros, the world communist movement, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Richard Daley, Dick Durban, and so many countless other liberals for writing such a wrenching, emotional, pity-me narrative. Most of all, we want to thank Teleprompter, Jr. for helping Michele...How about a big round of applause for Tele Jr.!!!!!

You can tell him to quit worrying, Michelle.

Heck, with those pistol grip ears of his, he’ll do just fine in prison.

Add to that the worry of not getting re-elected and having all his regulations reversed.

because the truth is we always have in this country. We always have.

What? Did she read the talking point wrong, redefine "is", or what?
