Former first lady Michelle Obama said her daughters Malia and Sasha played a lot of pretend when they were growing up in the White House. Not make-believe. More like, pretend-those-armed-Secret-Service-agents-aren't-there pretend, Obama told Gayle King during a CBS interview at the Essence Festival in New Orleans this weekend. "Imagine having Malia and Sasha come to your house for a sleepover," Obama said. “It’s like, 'Hello. OK, we’re going to need your Social Security number, we’re going to need your date of birth. There are going to be men coming to sweep your house. If you have guns and drugs, just tell them yes because they are

Well, Michelle, it sounds like it would have been best for everyone if those years had never happened.

If the Secret Service is so invasive why did Obama do an order to have them protect his family for life before he left the WH??? I thought Michelle hated the spotlight?

Didn’t Bill Ayers babysit them when they were little?

Tough not to be sympathetic to this: “...it was like all of the sudden he was shot out of a rocket...pretend like all the craziness around them wasn't happening...your dad's president. That doesn't have anything to do with you. Take your butt to school...my kids had armed guards with them at all times. Imagine trying to have your first kiss with a bunch of men...”
Aside from the jarring metaphor (nothing shoots out of a rocket except exhaust) and the obvious fact that the First Family is like no other, at the same time how is it possible to be fully conscious and pursuing this goal with a husband fully invested in that career for so many years and around so many people supporting that career without being conscious of the trade-offs?
If one were cynical one might speculate these comments are disingenuous, and meant to generate sympathy with an audience. An act. A show for the camera and utter falsity.
Imagine Edith Kermit Roosevelt complaining about Alice Roosevelt’s White House debut, or Jacqueline Kennedy observing their White House reality as insufficiently bourgeois.
To not fully appreciate such a life experience as remarkable and statistically unlikely and in many ways a pinnacle of human experience (membership in a family that leads a great nation) is puzzling to say the least.

It's genetic with Democrats -- always working the victim resume.

She needs some cheese with that whine. Who gives a flip what this heifer has to say about her time in the White House. She needs to find something productive to do with her time. Sit down and shaddup, Moo!chelle.

Interesting. She said that they were crying and sad on the last night at the WH. That doesn't make sense if they hated it so much. She is just making it up as she goes and trying to make her book sound like truth not fiction. I call her and her family the Ungrateful Americans.

Total bullsh**. Again, these people talk to the illiterates who support them. They used Air Force One like a taxi cab, jetting all over the world to vacation and party. The woman's a total fraud. Got it.

What a silly twit she is! If “the girls” don’t have friends, it has nothing to do with the Secret Service.

What #5 said.
And here is Mooch, in her native tongue: "Take your butt to school"

Well Michelle - your family is out of the White House (built by slaves DYK) now - having won the ultimate powerball lottery. You and your family are worth millions because you hit the lottery. You and your family don't have to try and be perfect all the time. Go and enjoy your millions and shut up.

I wonder if she's even more surprised that she and barack have NO friends now that they are out of the White House except for those hangers-on who actually believed that he was a real president? Eight years of whining, making excuses and complaining while they helped themselves to the US Treasury does not attract too many people to cocktail parties.

The Obamas are the most expensive and privileged victims in the history of the world.

I'm surprised the Obama sisty-uglers on had hired girl friends. Where did they put Bill when the friends were there?

This sounds so much like the pretentious a** who is always complaining about his Lamborghini breaking down. It must be magical to be Moochelle... always complaining and blaming. What a loser.

Why is she suddenly in the news every day ? Please say they aren't going to beg her to run because the other Dems are such losers.
I don't even want to look at greedy self. The most ungrateful people to ever enter the WH.
