Carla Bruni Book: Michelle Obama in 'Hell'
Politico ^ | September 16, 2010 | ANDY BARR & AMIE PARNES

Posted on 09/16/2010 9:36:00 AM PDT by lbryce

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.

Moosechelle - it's an HONOR to be First Lady, not hell. The 'good news': We the People will be glad to help you out and make sure that you and Obummer don't have to spend a single minute past 4 years in "hell". PS - quit doing the 'Michelle Antoinette' thingy: let them eat cake greens/arugula/low fat/wheat pasta. We're tired enough of your hubby 'The Professor' lecturing us so when you start up too, it's more than annoying.

I wonder if she was served rock lobster once instead of Maine lobster? For an elitist, that is hell.

A caller to WLS this morning brought up a good point on this subject this morning -

Perhaps this is Obama's way of being only a one term President and not seeking the nomination knowing his ass is toast in two years...

"I have to make a choice... of what is best for my wife and family, or for the country. I have chosen my family at this time, letting my successor continue my Legacy of Change..."

I doubt that Michelle said that because it’s the kind of talk that a public figure and our First Lady especially would not engage in.

Yeh-—nothing can compare to her gig as VP of Community Relations at the Univ of Chicago Hospital making $300+/k.
Now she sacrifices with downgrades of residence and hardships of travel. Slave girl blood suffers the ever- eternal struggle against social injustices.

Maybe staying the next year in Spain would lift her spirits. But imagine her arriving back early to finding Deval Patrick’s wardrobe and makeup kit in the First Bedroom.
