During a stop in Africa, Michelle Obama told impoverished children that she grew up poor “like many of you”.
Yeah, Michelle’s life is a real rags-to-nags story.

Nobody who has grown up poor in the US has grown up like the poor in Africa.
Absolutely right, walruskkkch. Also, Michelle didn’t grow up poor by American standards. Her father worked for Chicago’s water department and was a precinct captain for the Democratic party. Her family’s standard of living was sufficiently high that her mother stayed at home to take care of the apartment and the children until Michelle started high school, at which point she began work as a secretary. The Obamas may have been lower-middle class, but they certainly weren’t poor.
