I got a private chuckle at the hurricane heels, but really, the First lady gig was not in her contract. He's the money, she's the arm candy. They fly in jets to sunny places that are mostly paved, she lives in luxurious places and has a huge wardrobe and cosmetics budget. She has to look good and keep her mouth shut about anything other than how great he is. Then the president thing comes along and he decides to jump in over his head and she's chained to him. It's a whole different role and the criticism is harsh. Suddenly she's completely out of her element. Yes, you can diss her original decision to be a bought and paid for wife, but that's her business. First Lady was not part of the deal for her, so I can't be too hard on her for not being good at something she didn't sign up for. It's kinda like if I, and mental health worker, suddenly got told by my job I had to be the accountant. Well, yeah, I'd suck at it.
