Michelle Obama told French first lady Carla Bruni that her life as the first lady of the United States is "hell," according to an account in a new book.
The White House declined to comment on the account, first noted by London’s Daily Mail.
In an authorized biography written by French journalists Michael Darmon and Yves Derai, Bruni recalls that during her March visit to the White House with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, she asked the first lady about her post.
“Don’t ask,” Obama said, according to Bruni. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it.”
The book, "Carla and the Ambitious," is due out Friday and was written, in part, as a competitor to an unauthorized biography.

“Don’t ask,” Obama said, according to Bruni. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it.”
From her responsibilities as the unofficial food Czar to hosting the most glamorous parties imaginable, taking flight on Air Force One to the most exotic, luxurious resorts on Earth, her quote that her life as First Lady is hell, can't stand it, is difficult to comprehend. But at least it explains how, the way she looks.

Poor thing, maybe she just needs another vacation and a new pair of $500.00 shoes.

I think she thinks “WE THE PEOPLE” owe it to her.

Why the surprise? Who would want to be First Lady of a country they weren't proud of?

Any mention in that book about the “hell” America is in as a result of that beast occupying the sacred halls of the WH?

The Obama’s wrote their own reputations. We didn’t do this to them! They did this to themselves!

Cut her some slack, you didn’t even touch on the burdens of selecting from the latest fashions.

Report: "“Don’t ask,” Obama said, according to Bruni. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it.”
Response: Yes, it is hell and WE can't stand it either!

Very gracious, Moose lips!

FLOTUS is probably the first (ONLY) position Michelle has ever had where she has to account for herself.
She can’t adjust and is out of HER element.
