Michelle Obama: Having kids was a "concession" that cost "my aspirations and dreams"
Bye Big Mike!
[DISRN h/t Insty] In her newly released Netflix documentary "Becoming," former first lady Michelle Obama described having children as a "concession" that cost her "aspirations and dreams"

"My relationship with Barack was all about our partnership. If I was going to have an equal voice with this very opinionated man, I had to get myself up and 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.

Something had to give ‐ and it was my aspirations and dreams. 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.'"

#1 Not the Bee. No sympathy here Big Mike for your difficult, arranged but chosen life. You sound as hollow and souless as Hillary Clinton.

#5 Note that this is all part of Zero's $68 MILLION sweetheart deal to "produce" shite documentaries for a tech company whose entire rickety business model depends upon favorable regulation by political appointees in Washington at the FCC.

NFLX got its money's worth, sure.

Most corrupt era since the Robber Barons

Yes - the phony baloney $300K / yr. job that you didn't get on your own at Univ. of Chicago Medical Center. Not to mention how badly and permanently you just insulted and stomped on your two kids just for a fucking soundbite. Reprehensible barely begins to describe this wookie, er, woman.

#13 At one point there were rumors that the kids were acquired when the politics required them. DNA relationship testing might have been interesting or have squashed rumors....
