Michelle Obama Attends Beyonce Concert
7 Weird Ways To Bug-Proof Your Picnic
Michelle Obama said what now?
The French government denies the claim in a biography written about its first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, that Michelle Obama called being first lady of the United States "hell."
"Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy distances herself completely from the content of the book 'Carla and the Ambitious,'" French Embassy spokesman Emmanuel Lenain told CBS News. "The words attributed to the first lady of the United States were never said."
In a conversation with the Daily News, Lenain called the bio "unauthorized" and said Bruni was not involved with writing it.
The White House has also denied the first lady ever made such a statement.
According to the Daily Mail report, which initially claimed Bruni participated in writing the book with authors Michael Darmon and Yves Derai, the biography claims Bruni had a private conversation with Mrs. Obama at the White House in March in which she asked what she felt about being the first lady.
"Don't ask! It's hell. I can't stand it!" the book alleges Mrs. Obama told Bruni.

"True Dat." When Obama was running for president, she appeared on The View and was asked what she thought about the exuberance of the people for him as president. I recall she gleefully used the words that "... he was pathetic ..." and Joy and Barbara quickly corrected her, they being media savvy, and said, "You meant empathetic". I thought she meant what she said. lol Sad, they were such a loving, beautiful family in their pre-presidental years. We loved the family's warmth. Now, I agree apart of the experience must be hellish and hard on marriage life. Seem to be Obama's ambition and the family supported him.

I knew, from the moment I saw carla pictured with michelle that there was going to be jealousy on the part of carla. After all, she thought she was the most fierce first lady on the planet until she stood next to michelle and she saw how washed-out she looked. Michelle represented this racist country fabulously in europe. She looked spectacular next to those other european first ladies. I mean they looked busted next to michelle. So, no, I am not surprised by this revelation. This carla, bit-h will do anything to discredit Michelle. Screw her.

Carla could buy and sell mooshelle 5 times over, are you kidding me? Jealousy? I don't think so. Carla is all woman, has class, knows how to dress and is beautiful. Which would be the polar opposite of mooshelle. I have seen the photos of mooshelle with Carla and italys first lady, and after looking at them I'd say that mooshelle looks like these ladies maid or something. Where does moo shop? It looks like she shops at the salvation army and goodwill. Big old frumpy wrinkled clown looking dress that she just picked up off the floor. Every one of her outfits look ghetto and trashy. You people are so delusional. lol

Mrs. Michelle Obama has too much class, too highly educated, and too much of a lady to say some sh*t like that. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking she would have utter those words that way.
And you other Americans, I use that word lightly, should stop your ugly talk about America's First Lady. Shame on your uneducated parents, not teaching you better.
If you can't say something nice about anyone, keep your mouth shut, please and thank you.

Ha, ha. I don't believe it. Not only has these comments been rebuked from all sides, this is an unauthorized biography. Of course it has been an adjustment, but I am quite confident that our First Lady relishes being just that, our First Lady.
