Poor, Pitiful, Pearl...

Is "hubris" the right term for this? I ain't real sharp with words, so y'all might have to set me straight.

"As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days," the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, "so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home."

Um...what "people" have said it's a "sacrifice" Michelle? I'm just curious...
