Michelle Obama put up with a lot from a “downright mean” country she never could be proud of until it elected her husband POTUS. But we’re still learning how hellish her eight years in the White House really was.

Being the first – yeah, we had to ease up on the people … I was like, it would be easier. Nope, nope. They’re not ready.”
