Michelle Obama: 'Being Married to the President ... Can Be Hard'
The Weekly Standard ^ | SEP 18, 2014 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 09/18/2014 8:12:25 AM PDT by Slyfox

First Lady Michelle Obama visited sick children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where she complained about living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and being married to the president of the United States. She made the comments in response to being asked about her "favorite part about being in the White House."

"About being in the -- about being First Lady is being able to do stuff like this, really. And it is so special for me to get to meet kids like you guys," Michelle Obama started.

"Because sometimes living in the White House and being married to the President and trying to live a life like that, it can be hard. But when I meet you guys, I am so inspired, which is one of the reasons why I like to come and spend time with you guys. You all are smart, and you’re focused, and you’re just so courageous. And it’s just fun to be able -- I could be here all day with you, if you haven’t noticed."

The crowd of sick kids and parents laughed. So the first lady continued: "So this is a cool part. But living in the White House, actually living in the White House, what’s the best part? The best part is -- I like the South Lawn, I like the Truman Balcony -- I was telling Austin that, that that’s one of my favorite places to be, because we can be outside and you can look over the fountain, and you see the Washington Memorial, and it’s a really pretty view. And it’s peaceful."

The comments were part of a 26-minute question and answer session Obama held with the kids.

Ham-handed attempt at empathy. Best to not have tried.

Empathy is sooo over rated. There are many,many life experiences that if you have never been through, you have no idea what it is like.

Cancer is one of those.

I’m sure it’s hard being the “beard” wife of a not-so-closeted homosexual who happens to be the weakest man in the world.

“Because sometimes living in the White House and being married to the President and trying to live a life like that, it can be hard.”

She’s a victim, y’all.

FLASHBACK:

“Before coming to the White House, I struggled, as a working parent with a traveling, busy husband, to figure out how to feed my kids healthy, and I didn’t get it right.

“I thought to myself, if a Princeton and Harvard-educated professional woman doesn’t know how to adequately feed her kids, then what are other parents going through who don’t have access to the information I have?”

Can you imagine if the two bush women would have complained as much as she? Progressive media would have ate their lunch.

I think it's safe to say that she hasn't felt anything hard in quite a while.
