"Dont' Ask, It's Hell, I Can't Stand It"

From London's Daily Mail:

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

Miss Bruni divulges 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.

Hey, Michelle, tell it to Oprah.  Don't sit and "gossip" with the wife of a foreign President (especially a French one.) 

I'm sorry that your "job" is hell.  Your job with 22-paid staffers, with glamorous clothing being thrown at you by every designer, with fawning interview after fawning interview with every women's magazine, with over-the-top vacations.....one after another.  Hell? 

Your job is to represent the best of our country and you represent the worst of it.  Complaining, whining, and self-indulgent.  The victim....always the victim and the media will eat it up.  Poor Michelle. 

If you don't like the lack-of-privacy (I wouldn't either) then maybe you should do what most Americans do....stay home. 

Can you just go decorate the White House for Christmas, keep your head down and TRY for the love of Pete, TRY to to be grateful?  You only have 2 years left.
