She might be married to the most powerful man in the free world, but its a tough gig to be Michelle Obama. While speaking to graduates at Tuskegee University in Alabama, Obama described times she has been the recipient of racist and sexist remarks and the media has been super-mean to her and really hurt her feelings.
Politically, it was tough to be a Democrat, married to a guy with the middle name Hussein, and, you know, winning elections like a boss. Like the time she and Barack Obama had a on-stage celebratory fist bump after a primary win and people called it a terrorist fist jab. The nerve. Then, of course, her race and gender have been called into question, because no one else has ever dealt with discrimination: I was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations; conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. Was I too loud, or too angry, or too emasculating? Or was I too soft, too much of a mom, not enough of a career woman? I hate it when people question your personality and vocational choices. How judgy! How personal! No other woman in America has ever dealt with those issues!
Poor baby. Think she can hire Vera Wang to design some big-girl panties and then a team of female Secret Service agents to pull them up for her? Because obviously she struggles to do this, despite, in other venues, saying her ability to empower women is the most important work she does.
Nobody Look at the First Lady Unless She Wants You to The First Lady especially didnt like her her upper class, 1-percent, affluentlets just go with comfortable, shall we?lifestyle being viewed under a microscope. [O]ver the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. One said I exhibited a little bit of uppity-ism. Another noted that I was one of my husbands cronies of color. Cable news once charmingly referred to me as Obamas Baby Mama. She told graduates of the historically black university to stay true to the most real, most sincere, most authentic parts of yourselves.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Jamie Foxx, and George Clooney: those people are so pedestrian and dreary. I dont know who was far-fetched enough to say Mrs. Obama was uppity. I think its perfectly normal to travel the world on the super-generous taxpayers dime to places like Ireland and Africa, to the tune of approximately $10 million. A date night in New York for $11,000? Chump change and so truistic. They probably ate at dumb, cheap places like Per Se or Le Bernardin and just drank water and nibbled on a bread basket, you know?
And its totally not cronyism to hang out with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jamie Foxx, or George Clooney. Those people are so pedestrian and dreary. You know what baby mamas cannot do? They cannot afford to purchase and wear designers like Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu.
First Lady: A Hard-Knock Life Recently on the talk show Ellen, Michelle Obama told Ellen Degeneres she couldnt even open a window at the White House. Those are tough issues. Someone should make a phone call about that. The District gets super-hot during summer. In fact, she could ask one of the dozens of Secret Service agents at her service at the White House at any given timethose men and women who, despite recent issues, spend valuable time away from their families to protect the president and vice presidents, their families, and the positions reputation.
The heaviest burden Mrs. Obama will carry is her Gucci purse and the tremendous irony of a wasted opportunity. Mrs. Obama concluded that people will make assumptions about who they think you are based on their limited notion of the world. My husband and I know how frustrating that experience can be. Weve both felt the sting of those daily slights throughout our entire lives. And all of that is going to be a heavy burden to carry.
While you couldnt pay me to be married to any president, such is the stress that accompanies such a powerful positionand Im sure Michelle Obama feels residual and direct weight due to those pressuresto say her life is difficult, to argue she carries a burden, seems a bit far-fetched, if not histrionic.
The heaviest burden Mrs. Obama will carry is her Gucci purse and the tremendous irony of a wasted opportunity. Such is the life of the poor yet palatined, the easy yet entitled life of a woman who effortlessly takes advantage (some might say exploits) her empowering position when its fun and convenient (Oh, heyyyy Blake Lively) yet twists it to paint an entirely pitiful picture of herself to placate another audience. Is there anything more burdensome than knowing you held in your hands a chance to inform, persuade, and inspire, and all you did was whine and complain, painting a manipulative facade of a life you didnt even live?
I find all of this rather amusing. The only people who talk about race are liberals.
Conservatives look at content of character. Liberals look at color of skin.
When one is low-life, anti-American, talentless, angry, racist, commie, shrew, no-class, grifter, whining, shameless, criminal spendthrift of taxpayer money, one should STFU. The Worst Lady needs to get over her self.
You got that right.
Despite the analysis, she is still, I believe, “the most admired woman in America”. Now what does that tell us about the American people?
Uh, no. I can think of something heavier and it's right behind her.
Moochie needs to pull her Big Girl panties on
over her rather ample derrière and deal with
the heartbreak of being Affirmative Actioned
into the limelight and far beyond her intellect.
Worst & Whiniest First Lady Prize goes to:
Poor Pitiful Michelle
She might be married to the most powerful man in the free world
He WAS the most powerful, he eas blown that.
Indeed.... UGH...
It must be tough being one of the most powerful women in the world, married to the most powerful man in the world,
knowing...
that everyone around you can’t wait for you to go away.
I think for 24/7 she sees the dark cloud that follows her everywhere and feels the unhappy circle she creates for herself, knowing her intense racial hatred is obvious to everyone, her distrust of the help is constant, her rage against her husband with the “wandering eye” who got tired of looking at her big, big girl panties long ago permeates her entire persona.
It’s easy to see that she is one VERY BITTER WOMAN. I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for her.
I just want her and her sad case of a girly man to go away, far far away.
shelf ass angry wookie bitch.
Some people can always find something to be offended by.
Michelle Obama seems to be one of those people.
Her husband also seems like one of them.
It is ironic, since they are the two most pampered people on planet Earth.
I think it’s fair to say for Michelle Obama, the glass is always half empty.

She cannot get over herself ; she sees herself as the Imperial Negro Queen . How can she get over that ?
Only if they are both arrested and dragged kicking and screaming out of the office that they occupy

While I didn't vote for him, after Barack Obama was elected, I really thought both he, and Michelle Obama would inspire the black community to get an education and lift themselves out of their ghetto mentality. Because Obamas are black, they had a golden opportunity to make the world a better place.
She obviously took Rev. Wright’s sermon of G** damn America to heart.
