‘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.

Let us relieve those creases and accept the resignation of the worst president in history.

They’ve scrubbed the image, but it looks like the Cornelius and Dr. Zira kiss from Planet of the Apes. Sorry, they’re lips are so stiff and fake, like his presidency. It looks like she said, well Barack, we need a photo of us kissing. He said, I know Michelle, just do it, get it over with, and it’ll be a good photo op. Like Clinton finding a cross on the beach.

Really. Many early Presidents looked like they aged 15 years in one term. Of course, that was before makeup, special lighting, and photo-retouching.

It’s really too bad Obama and Mrs. don’t get to see
what it’s like when the press isn’t in their corner.
If she thinks this is stress she should have been
in Laura’s shoes.

With one mirror in front of him and one behind him, at the right angle, he will be able to see millions of bootmarks on his posterior come 11/12.

Yeah, but that's still probably more work than he has done before in his life, I mean real work, not campaigning for office or community organizing, whatever that is. The guy has responsibilities now, like it or not, and he's never had that before, either. Add up working for a living and having responsibilities, things Obummer has never had to deal with, and you see why he's getting those lines. Probably more shock than anything else.

It hurts when I laugh, This is a joke right?

Total dedication to getting re-elected.

This resident spends more time on the hopper than doing his job.

Ahh no worries Mooch Shell. Bams face is smooth as a baby butt compared to the deep cracks he's putting in America's foundation. Have another fry and start planning your next big taxpayer all expenses paid exotic vacay. You'll feel better in no time.
