First lady Michelle Obama tells Barbara Walters in a 20/20 special that it is "practical" for her to put her self highest on her priority list.

Obama says she found her self slipping "pretty low" on her own priority list because she was "so busy caring for everyone else."

Michelle Obama says she spends time with girlfriends and going out in her attempt to put herself higher on her priority list. Transcript below.

Barbara Walters, ABC News: "Mrs. Obama, you've recently said something that I thought was very interesting for other women to hear. You said 'you put your own self highest on your priority list.' That sounds selfish?"

Perfectly okay...except she’s looting our tax dollars as part of that priority list. Grifter.

For the Godless, it’s always a zero sum game. (No pun intended).

It is a stretch, but unfortunately, it’s true.

Sounds like she is a narcissist too, just like her husband.

JESUS said that those who would be first, shall be last, and those who humble themselves, putting their own needs and desires last, shall be first.

Enjoy your upcoming time on the bottom of the totem pole, you fat arrogant wookie.

She’s always busy caring for everyone else???? Which shopping spree and which vacation is evidence of that? Is she pissed off that in order to get the glory she thinks she deserves she has to tell us all what to eat? Is she upset that as FL she is expected to actually care about this country and it’s people? Or is that the job of her husband - to show a little sincere concern about those he “rules” while she makes like Marie Antoinette.

She is something else.

“First Grifter of the United States”

Barry is “Grifter-in-Chief”

Michelle’s mother is the “Grifter-in-law”

And her “adorable” little girls are “Grifters-in-Training”
(I believe they are enrolled in the “Gifted-Grifters-Academy”.)

Here is what she meant to say....

“I’ve always been kept down and forced to work for the man. I’ve had to accept ghost positions at university that had no prestige. I’ve had to run around pushing a healthy food, pizza is a vegetable campaign, ya know? It’s always about someone else. The nanny needs this, Barack needs this. Jeremiah, Tony, Saul.....Everybody else, you know? I think I deseverse to put myself above everyone else for a while. I am finally proud of my country for what it has given me.”

well, she did get her mother to come live-in to take care of the kids, make sure the staff cooks their meals and chauffeurs them to school yada yada
but Granny doesn't walk dogs

and she does have to manage her staff of 122 who dress and carry her around to photo ops with the little people

michelle’s life is SO demanding, who among us would begrudge her a box of wine by the beach?

What does her mother think of that? The reason Michelle can go hang with friends and put herself first is because she has “back up” from her Mom, to watch the kids. Shouldn’t Mom have earned some “selfish” time? She already raised her set of kids, after all.

She hasn’t got an ounce of humility...or gratitude.

Apparently we have 2 narcissists in the White House again - after the 8 year respite from George and Laura.

Moochele is even more self-absorbed and narcissistic than the boy who would be king.

I put myself first also in a lot of ways — I try to keep my weight down and stay in shape, I try to get enough sleep, not do stupid things that wear myself out, I take my vitamins, etc — but only so as to be COMPLETELY AVAILABLE AND STRONG for my family, for my special needs son, and so as not to fail and let down the people in my life who depend on me, totally, financially and otherwise.

I mean — putting yourself first is great ...but there’s a balance. Maybe this is what she means ...but it will come out selfish sounding. I wonder who is dependent on Michelle? Or is she the type of person who is dependent on others?

Only she and those closest to her know.
