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.

” 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”

I also like Air Force One, vacations in Hawaii, Europe, China, Africa, with my friends, the ski weekends in the winter are the best! Although, I’m not real proud of the US, it’s an ok place to visit as long as I can hang with Beyonce, Oprah and the rest of Hollywood.

I've heard that too. I think the race was Barry's first go at the Illinois House, but I could be wrong.

Apparently, the Mooch was having an affair at the time. And soon after lil Sasha was born.

Very few have seemed to notice that lil Sasha looks nothing like her daddy or her older sister.
