To hear Michelle Obama tell it, the act of being first lady of the United States is more of a plague than a blessing.
It feels like every time she opens her mouth to speak on her former role as FLOTUS, it’s one complaint after another. Never mind that she was treated better than any first lady in modern memory, especially current First Lady Melania Trump.
In a recent clip, Obama is heard bemoaning having a “glam team” to get her ready for public events:

“Every day, every time I was ‘up,’ as we called it, I was up for the public and the days were long. So as you mentioned, to save time I, I know having a glam team, a trifecta, it feels like luxury, but it was a time necessity,” the former first lady said. “There’s absolutely no way that I would be able to do my hair and makeup and have clothes ready that fit, because where’s the woman that can live off the rack?”
The video earned some criticism across X, including from Sage Steele:

We’ve elevated complaining and belly aching about being successful to a new cottage industry. This will be studied by science.
