WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama misses life without the constant commentary but does what works for her because there’s always someone who thinks she could have done better.

In the latest issue of Time magazine, hitting newstands today, Obama says it’s difficult to watch her husband, President Barack Obama, burdened by the world’s problems. She also revealed a bit of advice from her predecessors: Go to Camp David early and often.

“It’s just one place you can go where you’re completely . . . where you feel some level of freedom and an ability to breathe,” she said.
