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.

Er... is that the Washington Monument, or the Lincoln Memorial, or the Washingcoln Monumental ?

Oh, well done! I think you may have hit upon the new name for the much maligned Redskins. The Washingcoln Monumentals. They can even use a giant pseudo-phallic symbol as their mascot.

“Michelle Obama: ‘Being Married to the President ... Can Be Hard’”

Since the first wookie is a transsexual, and barack’s presidential power is an aphrodisiac for some people, the moose is basically saying she can be hard around him: erection hard.

As much as I hate golf, if I were married to this hag I’d use every excuse possible to get away from her.

Of course Barry already sneaks away so he can be alone with Reggie.

Hard to keep track of all those vacations and the 42 personal attendants you have. What a total jackassette!

She flies by it all the time. You'd think she would know it is a monument.

I'm sure that his Barryness could say the same.

Of course, being a beard for a closeted homosexual is never easy.

But she signed up for this duty.

And I'm sure that the perks more than compensate her for her “troubles.”

When I was 10 years old I spent a full year on the 10th floor of a children’s hospital. It seemed that everybody but me, my mom and Jesus knew I was going to die.

The Harlem Globetrotters came to visit us kids. They made us laugh and feel a little better, if only for a short time. I didn’t know back then that I was supposed to be a racist and that Black people hated me.

That was about 55 extra and wonderful years ago. If I were in the same shape today and that Black cow were to visit me, I would be certain that she was the Grim Reaper and had come to take me to Hell.

Can imagine it could be hard if your husband is on the DOWN-LOW and crack smoker.
