Up till now I have always defended the ex-president's wife as a person who received a tremendous amount of criticism she never asked for. I never thought the negative media coverage of her was ever appropriate or called for. Even her stupid statement about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life really didn't phase me all that much I took it more or less with a grain of salt considering the source. But the above link of her expressing regret about being a mother is one of the most hideous attacks on two living children I have ever seen in a public venue. I wonder how her two daughters feel knowing that their mother sees them as two impediments instead of two children? Are you serious *****? The most sacred and precious privilege available to any human being to be a parent. Why am I not surprised that her value system begins with the word selfish and the ends with the word narcissist? This article has definitely changed my viewpoint of the former first lady.

Did I miss the part where she said "My kids ruined my life"??
"Cost me my dreams"..... is even a more offensive statement.....
Using "ruined my life " .... instead was being kind.

She didn't exactly say that either- did she?
My relationship with Barack was all about our partnership,”
Obama said. “If I was going to have an equal voice with this very opinionated man, I had to get myself up. I had to set myself off to a place where I was confident that I was going to be his equal.”
“The thing that really changed it was the birth of our children. I wasn’t really ready for that. That really made it harder,” she said. “Something had to give, and it was my aspirations and dreams.”

She added, “I made that concession not because he said, 'You have to quit your job,' but it felt like ‘I can’t do all of this, so I have to tone down my aspirations, I have to dial it back.'"
I wonder what it is about Michelle Obama's success that makes you so bitter?
Is it her graduating from Harvard Law?
Is it that she is the most admired woman in America?
Is it that she has never been divorced, and has two lovely children?
Is it that she was a very admired First Lady?
Is it that she had an actual professional career?
