Amazingly enough, as I read this article Jodi Kantor wrote about her newly published book on the Obama's the thought that came to mind was how much she seems to substantiate what the Ulsterman columns were saying! Sorry if that is verboten on this web site!

Amazingly enough, as I read this article Jodi Kantor wrote, I note that you have listed yourself as the author.

Michelle Obama was privately fuming, not only at the president’s team, but also at her husband.

She always looks like she's privately fuming .....

FLOTUS imagines herself Queen of the World and can’t understand why it doesn’t seem like Heaven.

A dozen mind readers wouldn’t be sufficient, as she needs to flare her attitude just to show she’s in charge.

"As Michelle Obama realized over the summer and fall of 2008 that she was likely to become first lady, she asked a question that probably would have surprised outsiders: could she and her children delay moving to the White House? Perhaps it was better, she told aides and friends, to remain in Chicago until the end of the school year, giving her children more time to adjust, rather than coming right at the inauguration. Her notion, though short-lived, was telling: she didn’t understand or care what sort of message it would send to a public enthralled by the new first family, and she had trepidations about life in the spotlight, let alone the prospect of residing in a monument-museum-office-military compound-terrorist target-home."

I don't care for the Obama's, especially Michelle who appears to be a cold hearted and vindictive person to me. But, I side with her on this one. If she had wished to maintain her career (which would mean she actually did something in her $300K a year hospital job) and keep her children in school where they had ties and friendships, so be it.

The "first family" aspect of the President job is almost becoming similar to the royals. If he wanted to just go to work like other elected officials do, I'd be good with it.

More whining from Michelle about the tribulations of being in the White House!! This is beyond annoying.

“Amazingly enough, as I read this article Jodi Kantor wrote about her newly published book on the Obama’s the thought that came to mind was how much she seems to substantiate what the Ulsterman columns were saying!”

Right you are! IMO, Ulsterman is at least vindicated regarding this episode:

“Early on Sept. 16 (2010), Robert Gibbs was scanning the news when a story stopped him short: according to a new French book, Michelle Obama had told Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the French first lady, that living in the White House was “hell.” It was a potential disaster — the equivalent of the $400 haircut, Mr. Gibbs feared, coming just weeks before election day and on the heels of a vacation in Spain that had drawn accusations of lavish spending.

“Mr. Gibbs asked her aides to find out if she had said anything even close (no, the answer came back), and then fought the story back for hours, having the book translated and convincing the Élysée Palace to issue a denial. By noon the potential crisis had been averted.

“But at Mr. Emanuel’s 7:30 a.m. staff meeting the next day, Ms. Jarrett announced that the first lady had concerns about the White House’s response to the book, according to several people present. All eyes turned to Mr. Gibbs, who started to steam.

“’Don’t go there, Robert, don’t do it,’ Mr. Emanuel warned.

“’That’s not right, I’ve been killing myself on this, where’s this coming from?’ Mr. Gibbs yelled, adding expletives. He interrogated Ms. Jarrett, whose calm only seemed to frustrate him more. The two went back and forth, Ms. Jarrett unruffled, Mr. Gibbs shaking with rage. Finally, several staff members said, Mr. Gibbs cursed the first lady — colleagues stared down at the table, shocked — and stormed out.”
