Bristol Palin: I Made A Mistake
Bush Making Big Return To White House
As Surge Desk reported earlier today, a passage in their book reportedly says that Bruni asked Michelle Obama how she liked her role as first lady during a trip to the White House last March. Mrs. Obama's response was supposedly, "Don't ask! It's hell. I can't stand it!"
But the White House is denying that Michelle Obama said anything of the sort. Catherine McCormick-Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Obama, told ABC News that "the first lady never said that."
And Emmanuel Lenain, a spokesman for the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., has also said Mrs. Obama never uttered the damning words.

"Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy distances herself completely from the content of the book 'Carla and the Ambitious,' which was not authorized and the authors alone are responsible for its contents," Lenain said. "The words attributed to the first lady of the United States were never said."Robert Gibbs, the White House's chief spokesman, then tweeted a 140-character version of Lenain's statement this afternoon.
Surge Desk wonders, could Bruni -- a native-born Italian cum French citizen, who speaks both languages in addition to English -- have possibly misheard Obama saying she thinks her life is "well," or "swell"?
