Appearing on “Late Show” with David Letterman in 2013, First Lady Michelle Obama also told the story of how a woman once asked her for help getting something off a shelf. It’s the same story she told in a recent interview with People magazine, in which she seemingly suggested race played a role in the woman’s solicitation of her assistance.
However, her story seemingly lacked the racial undertones when she told it to Letterman last year.
“I went to Target. I thought I was undercover. I have to tell you something about this trip though,” she said. “No one knew that was me because a woman actually walked up to me, right, I was in the detergent isle and she said — I kid you not — she said, ‘excuse me, I just have to ask you something.’ And I thought, ‘cover’s blown.’ She said, ‘Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?’ I kid you not!”
Then she added some context.
“And the only thing she said — I reached up because she was short — and I reached up and pulled it down and she said, ‘Well, you didn’t have to make it look so easy.’ That was interaction, I feel so good. She had no idea who I was.”

They asked her to take something off the shelf because of the manly features!
Sctew her.
Hey moochella she was probably one of your liberal fools who voted for your idiot husband.
The First Liar because a lady she is not. She's an utter failure as a "mother"-teaching children it's perfectly okay to lie. Must have learned it from her own worthless mother. People who don't value honesty aren't worth a darn.
This sounds less like a racial issue and more like one of a person who feels themselves above helping someone.
Michael is a man
Jackie... Nancy... the Bush wives. Sorta makes you wonder where the days of class went, doesn't it? This administration is an embarrassment to our country.
Smh & these comments are class worthy? Every president has had their good/bad. BET u were smiln when u heard Bin laden was done. I'm no big Obama fan, but then again I wasn't a big fan of none of the past pres. Dang. Give credit were it's due.
So it had nothing to do with race and everything to do with her height. Yet she tried to make it racists. All it did was make her look like a liar. Seriously was it such a hard task to help someone out without making a big deal about it?
Al Sharpton has been "schooling" her on the fine points of being a race hustler.
