The White House is denying that first lady Michelle Obama ever described her White House life as "hell." Mrs. Obama's spokeswoman, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, responded Thursday to a purported comment attributed to Mrs. Obama in a forthcoming book, "Carla and the Ambitious," about French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

The book says Bruni-Sarkozy recalled that during a recent White House visit with her husband, the French president, she asked Mrs. Obama about her new role. According to the book, Mrs. Obama replied: "It's hell. I can't stand it."

The French Embassy in Washington also released a statement denying that Mrs. Obama ever said those words. The Embassy says Bruni-Sarkozy "distances herself completely" from the book, which is due out Friday.

Blog author's comments - (Ms. Bruni-Sarkozy was reported to have collaborated on the book with writers Yves Derai and Michael Darmon).

I really don't care if life in the White House has been "hell" for Mrs. Obama. Apparently the statement attributed to Mrs. Obama, is in the book by French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

I will add, that to have had the Obama family in the White House for less than two years, has been "hell" for many people in this country. Hopefully, after the 2012 election, they will move.
