Michelle Obama gave a candid view Saturday of the challenges and emotional toll of being the country’s first black first lady.

Obama, speaking to graduates at Tuskegee University in Alabama, described insensitive media questions and derogatory remarks from political pundits that she said have kept her up at night.

“You might remember the on-stage celebratory fist bump between me and my husband after a primary win that was referred to as a ‘terrorist fist jab,’ ” she said.

SHE WAS A VICTIM!!!

I guess she had to pi$$ away millions of our tax dollars on opulent travel and entertainment to set things right in her twisted mind.

[Amagi]

Now I completely understand the need for the constant mega-million dollar tax payer funded vacations.

MooseShell don’t know squat about school lunches.

Emotion toll?

Is that like a toll door mat?

She may have a point.

[DoughtyOne]

And here I was just telling a friend those lunches were pretty much like squat.

She was a poor black sharecropper’s daughter who never dreamed she was adopted.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The poor dear.
She was paid $315,000 per year by a Chicago hospital to ditch low income folks from the hood.

[rockrr]

I hope that it eats her alive.

Once these two finally leave the WH they will find a money making scheme that will make the Clintons look like pikers.

The emotional toll is being paid by us, how hard is it for her to always be on vacation on the taxpayers dime. I would call her a whiny, self important, pompous bitch...........but that would be rude, so Ill just say “That’s Nice” which is what a young girl was taught by her daddy to say to someone like moochelle instead of “F___ You!”

[Seruzawa]

Can’t be half as bad as the emotional toll from being a moron.

[Secret Agent Man]

Non victims acting like victims really pisses me off.

[Sasparilla]

The emotional toll must be why she feels trapped in the White House and always wants to be somewhere else. Most would be honored and privileged to carry such a “burden.”

[MeshugeMikey]

we were dead broke when my husband was first elected to the office of king"

[samtheman]

She and her shiftless old man have been coddled and affirmative-actioned into cushy spots since they were very young and now they are fabulously wealthy from, among other things, ill-gotten gains.

It’s the Hillary Meme. Living the life of a criminal 1%er (as opposed to working for your 1% spot) while crying poor, poor, pitful me.

[mcshot]

It’s hurting the Republic far more than them. Leave now by tramp steamer please.
