The toughest part of the job for first lady Michelle Obama? Not being able to stroll around her local drugstore.

In an interview with NBC's iVillage, the first lady said she sometimes chafes at the bubble of the White House.

“I can’t walk outside. I can’t take my dog for a walk," the first lady said.

Acknowledging that most Americans face much more hardship and difficulty than she does, she said she nevertheless sometimes regrets the "loss of privacy" and "loss of anonymity."

"I tease, it’s like one day I am going to walk out that gate. I’m just going to walk out. I'm going to walk out. No one's going to know, I’m not going to notify anybody and I’m just going to walk … I’m going to go to CVS," she said.

"Now at CVS you have to get your bag, you have to pay if you want a bag. I heard about that, so it’s like I don’t want to go into CVS all ignorant and be like what’s this … and now I know that you have to pay for a bag which wasn’t the case three and a half years ago so things have changed," she said.

"And the American citizens who shop at CVS would like to fly off to Spain on a private jet with the kids, grandma, and a few dozen friends and staff for a long vacation at a luxury resort. The American citizens who shop at CVS would like to fly off in a private 747 to NY City, Chicago or anywhere else with their spouse for a dinner date. The American citizens who shop at CVS would like to fly off to Hawaii for Christmas at a luxury home every year.

Oh, how this nation needs to have that arrogant elitist piece of garbage out of the White House along with her Marxist failure of a husband." DITTO and BUMP.

There is no amount of plastic surgery, no amount of liposuction, no amount of freebie designer clothes and jewelry, no amount of $1500 a day applied makeup and wigs that will ever erase or change who you really are.

I haven’t been living in The Bubble, but I did not know CVS charges for bags. That must be a liberal area tax scheme.
