FLOTUS: It's hard to get mad at Barack

First lady Michelle Obama said in an interview that she finds it hard to get angry with her hard-working husband.

"This last three and a half years, it’s been hard to be really furious at him, because he’s working so hard and doing it at great personal sacrifice, but he’s still managing to be the father and husband he was before. So I have a harder time taking [issue with] his little foibles, whether it’s leaving his shoes out or not," Michelle Obama said in an interview with Parade magazine published Sunday.

"We have people [here] who pick them up. [Otherwise] they’d still be there," she said about Obama's shoes.

The first lady admitted that there were still things that bothered her, like being forced to wait for her husband.

"Little things, like, I’m waiting for him today for 30 minutes, ’cause I’m always waiting for him. He comes down and he’s, “All right, let’s go!” And it’s like, “Oh, so now you’re in a rush?” she said.

President Obama seconded her, saying "She’s more punctual than I am."

It’s not hard for me to be mad at him.

So, FLOTUS, how do you feel about Reggie?

Oh,sweetheart,where do I start??? Well,my net worth has dropped by 25% in the last 3.5 years.....

[fhayek]

Hard working husband? Who knew Michelle Obama was a bigamist?

[bigbob]

I don’t think she’s trying very hard...

[MrDem]

Little Barry “Me Too, Me Too” is now trying to say what a wonderful family man he is after Romney's story, hence all of these types of stories popping up like weeds all of a sudden.

[Wings-n-Wind]

She needs to get out and get around more....

Just sayin'

By all accounts, he is the laziest POTUS in known memory. Up late morning, to bed early, takes long vacations, puts all the decisions off on his (unqualified) staff.

"FLOTUS: It's hard to get mad at Barack"

No. No, it's not.

[toldyou]

What a difficult life she leads. How sickening.

[JohnBrowdie]

the servants pick them up? she actually said that?

This article says more about her than him. For instance, she won't pick-up the shoes of a hard working man? Obviously she is not a team player. When I am putting in long hours, my wife caters to me. When my wife has had a hard day, I may draw her a nice hot bubble bath (complete with a flower in a vase, a glass of wine, and some chocolate resting on the side of the tube). Putting shoes away? We both do it for the other.

It is amazing how little things like that, keeps you focused on the other and minimizes the friction of daily life.

Yeah, still managing to be the liar and loser he was before. Where's the barf alert?

Working hard playing golf, signing executive orders, leaking classified info to the press and Hollywood, vacationing, campaigning, blah, blah, blah!

[ColdOne]

yup that is what she said. ;)

Everyone knows that you should “let the wookie win.”

Must have been ‘upstairs’ working out with Reggie Love, or smoking crack.

[JohnBrowdie]

“we have a blond haired white boy that picks up the president’s shoes.”

[NoExpectations]

You forgot the BARF Alert. This one is a mega-barf. These people have tried my every last nerve.
