Michelle Obama Speaks Of ‘Emotional Toll’ Of Being First Black First Lady
[Image: 23j672x.png]

Yes, what a toll, millions on luxury vacations and restaurants and a coterie of servants to do your every bidding. It’s so tough being royal…

Quote: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.

“And over 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 husband’s ‘cronies of color.’ Cable news once charmingly referred to me as ‘Obama’s Baby Mama.’ ”

Obama said she was subjected to a different set of expectations on the campaign trail in 2008 compared with other candidates’ wives.

RE: Michelle Obama Speaks Of ‘Emotional Toll’ Of Being First Black First Lady
the past 6 years have taken a horrific emotional toll on me. Higher taxes..less job options. There was that time Obama was on tv talking about how Trayvon Martin good have been his own child... I was sitting in a doctors office waiting room. The only white guy... the Shiite and threats I received that day were off the chain. BO and MO literally jeopardized my life with there racist bullshiite. I have met a lot of black racists... they always play the victim. Muck Fichelle Obama...

The real victims here are the toilet seats in the White House that have had to endure her fat ass for 6 long years.

When Bill greets Hill with a kiss, she knows which skank he's been with.

What does Bill say to Hill after sex?

"Hi, honey, I'll be home in a couple of hours."

RE: Michelle Obama Speaks Of ‘Emotional Toll’ Of Being First Black First Lady
Unlike many of her predecessors, she evidently did not understand the role of First Lady. I can somewhat understand her angst at some of the comments directed towards her...but...it comes with the job. She would serve herself better to just not say anything about it. It makes her look very weak IMO.
