First Lady Michelle Obama says being criticized is part of the president’s job, and she understands why her husband has been on the receiving end, according to an Associated Press report.

In an interview on NBC’s “Today” show, the first lady said the country has been going through tough times with a recession and two wars. She said Americans are rightfully frustrated, and, she says, “the person in charge is the person folks look to.”

She said that since her husband, Barack Obama, became president last year, the couple have “much more respect” for their predecessors because only presidents and their families understand the job’s pressures.

 

The first lady also said she teases her husband about his graying hair. She said his mother and grandfather were gray, “so he was going in that direction anyway.”
