Catty Carla Bruni lifts lid on Michelle Obama's 'hellish' job
By Peter Allen and Michael Seamark


Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’, Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet new book.

Miss Bruni reveals that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president’s wife: ‘Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!’

Details of the private conversation, which took place at the White House during an official visit by Nicolas Sarkozy last March, emerged in Carla And The Ambitious, a book written in collaboration with Miss Bruni.

Sure, Michelle, sure. What's the next stop for your taxpayer-funded perpetual party machine?

Oh, she's enjoying that part of it.

I'm sure she's not the first First Lady to hate the position she is in. But to share that so easily with Bruni?

[Kylie]

If you hate it, then quit.

[Bruno]

If you hate it, then quit (but not before you convince your husband to do so first!).

fixed! :D

[Working Poor]

boo fk-ing hoo

[Cowlesy]

awwwwwwwww...

[amy31416]

Silver lining? only two more years of "hell" for Michelle. Poor thing...

How many aides does she have? 20+? Like them or not, I believe that Laura Bush and Hillary only had one.

Grrrrrr.

[raistlinkishtar]

Perhaps if she spent more of my money on European shopping trips it would make her feel better?

[FrankRep]

Lets do her a favor and relieve her of the position.

[Brian4Liberty]

I actually feel for her on this issue. Every time I see some official sitting there smiling through some kind of local dance routine or long winded speech it looks like torture to me... ;)

[ravedown]

this is a drudge bombshell? ...pathetic.

[silus]

In reality, almost everyone at some point says they hate their job. Sometimes people need to vent. This is a garbage story.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Well, it may come as a surprise to many of her supporters that she hates the role of First Lady after trying so hard to get there. It was a "boneheaded move" for her to vent to Bruni.

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

She doesn't even look like a lady.

There, I said it.

[libertarian4321]

Who cares what she thinks about the "job"?

[Vessol]

Lets do her a favor and relieve her of the position.


Carol Paul 2012! :D

Sounds like PR damage control to me after the hubbub over her trips.

"Woe is me....all these free trips to Spain and London are terrible!"

Yeah Michelle. Life is so difficult when someone else raises your kids, cities stop their traffic so you can come through without slowing down, and you can travel practically anywhere without a second thought. Poor you.

We can't know for sure. It came from Carla Bruni's book.

ABC News' Jake Tapper reports:

The White House Thursday afternoon denied an account in a new biography of French First Lady Carla Bruni claiming that U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama told Bruni that life in the White House is “hell.”

“Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!” the biography has Michelle Obama telling Bruni after being asked about life as the wife of the president during a Sarkozy family visit to the White House in March.

A spokeswoman for First Lady Obama, Catherine McCormick-Lelyveld, tells ABC News “the First Lady never said that.”

The account, first reported by London’s Daily Mail, appears in a new book “Carla And The Ambitious,” written by French journalists Michael Darmon and Yves Derai in cooperation with Ms. Bruni.

Emmanuel Lenain, a spokesman for the French Embassy to the US, said, “Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy distances herself completely from the content of the book ‘Carla and the Ambitious’, which was not authorized and the authors alone are responsible for its contents. The words attributed to the First Lady of the United States were never said.”

European media reported that the biography was authorized and Ms. Bruni participcated in its writing. When asked about that, Monsieur Lenain told ABC News, "I don't have all the details, I'll have to get back to you."

Um, how are you going to mention its obvious and then completely dismiss the point in your next sentence.

[amy31416]

Hmm. Shame on me for believing a rumor. This seems to be a legitimate source and a reasonable accounting:

Sure, Michelle, sure. What's the next stop for your taxpayer-funded perpetual party machine?

Yeah, it's so degrading for Michelle Obama having to wear her J Crew and go out grocery shopping in front of the peasants in DC. Good thing the Secret Service is their to keep the serfs fenced off 100+ft away, all the while she burns her carbon footprint.

More Black Tie Parties for their regime, crones, and payola media/HOLLYWOOD hacks. etc etc etc :rolleyes:

In 2 years, back to collecting crone $300+K to show up for a board meeting once a quarter. Maybe mayor of Bell, CA is in the wings for her?

HERE"S HELL!

Urbanite (http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039?tags=%20white%20house) Does Michelle Obama hate her life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? An unauthorized biography of France’s first lady says so. The book claims that when French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy asked Obama about life in the White House, she said: “Don’t ask. It’s hell. I can’t stand it.”

Someone needs to let Ron Paul know about this.
