Michelle, in Hell

Michelle, in Hell

Michelle, in Hell.
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
tres bien ensemble.

Those are words that go together well because Michelle Obama uttered them.

According to Carla Bruni Sarkozy, last March on a state visit to the White House, the French First Lady said that when she asked the American First Lady what Michelle thought of that position Michelle responded, “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”

Carla, a former actress and model who is still foxy, yet ladylike, also said she liked her American counterpart in her new, collaborative book, Carla and the Ambitious, although that sentiment might not now be reciprocated since the White House, as expected, denies Mrs. Obama ever said such a thing.

Why she would say such a thing considering her perks as the president’s consort would be bewildering. After all, she’s given a comfortable, free pad in D.C., free use of Air Force Two, a paid entourage of some 24 people to tend to her needs, free or highly-subsidized vacations to Spain’s Costa del Sol and feted by King Carlos, and lord knows what other bennies.

That’s not too shabby for the daughter of a civil servant and a secretary!

The not-quite-tell-all Carla and the Ambitious also reveals that “On the advice of the Obamas, [Carla and hubby Nic] don’t read the papers in the morning any more:” http://tiny.cc/vwhvm

Those tidbits of information aside, it’s also disconcerting that America’s First Lady who, apparently, was discontented with being an American when she said during the presidential campaign that she was never proud of her nationality, is discontented with her “job” now. . .
