The Obama Soap Opera, A Chick Flick

By pm317 on September 26, 2009 at 6:30 PM in Current Affairs

Written by none other than the noted author, novelist, reporter, Helene Cooper of the number one newspaper in the nation, The New York Times.

Drum roll, please.
mo-g20

Mr. Obama: “Where’d my First Lady go?”

Mrs. Obama: “Right here,” stepping beside him, as it started to drizzle.

Mr. Obama pokes fun at the pool, whispering something to Reggie Love and Mrs. Obama, then looking at pool and saying: “We’re talking about how you guys are all waiting to write something down.”

[snip]

Mr. Obama is teasing Mrs. Obama. “You’re standing on the wrong side of me.” She moves to his other side. He says, “I’m just teasing.” She stares straight ahead with a smile.

Oooooh, I have goosebumps all over.

The Scene:

Well, there was no red carpet lining the walkway to the Phipps Conservatory for the leaders’ dinner tonight hosted by President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. But since the First Couple nonetheless spent almost two hours greeting each of their 60 or so guests as they arrived, one by one — or in the case of couples, two by two — and since your pooler’s dream job is actually to work for E Channel covering the Academy Awards Red Carpet, consider this your Red Carpet report.

At 6:15 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Obama stepped out of the Phipps Conservatory, underneath an awning to greet their first guests. Mr. Obama in a dark blue suit, Mrs. Obama in a taupe, pink and green patterned cocktail dress with straps. Pink patent leather two-inch heels. Hair pulled back in a full, bouffant faux ponytail. Long pearl necklace, pearl earrings. No stockings.

That’s it. I got nothing.

Wait!

7:20 — Carla Bruni!!!!

Carla Bruni Sarkozy and Nicholas Sarkozy arrive. Sarko is wearing a suit. Carla Bruni is in a stunning black silk sheath dress, stops just below the knee. She’s holding a green wool scarf, and is wearing Christian Louboutins black evening shoes.

Mr. Obama kisses her four times. “I’m not going to get a chance to see you much.”

Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Sarkozy chat warmly. A lot of touching there too.

That ladies and gentlemen, is your esteemed national newspaper, The NY Times. No wonder, these fucking incompetent morons are sinking and begging for a bail out.

    It is hard to watch these boobs. They seem to be in cloud coockoo land, totally oblivious to what is going on in the country. They never seem to work, they have no coherent policy positions, they spend money like it is going out of style. All he seems to do is read speeches and attend soft ball interviews. I supported Hillary in the primary, and McCain in the general. I was committed to Hillary but McCain was strictly a case of anybody but Obama. Regrettably, all the doubts I had about him and his inability to govern this country effectively and competently have been proven correct. He is the same big business shill he always was.

  • Just_Saying

    So, where is Hillary these days?
    .

  • wbboei

    That ladies and gentlemen, is your esteemed national newspaper, The NY Times. No wonder, these fucking incompetent morons are sinking and need to be bailed out.
    —————————–
    Well put. But there is really no need to bail them out. There is no redeeming social value in this kind of tripe, and nothing whatsoever worth saving.

    The further away we move from banking with these bailouts, the more they look like horse thieves.

    And we all know what they did with horse thieves before there was ACORN.

  • wbboei

    So, where is Hillary these days
    ——————————
    An excellent question. Unfortunately, I cannot answer because she I do not speak to her, nor does she confide in me. She was at CGI yesterday, but I doubt that is what you were asking.

  • pm317

    Agree. I didn’t mean it the way it came out. Changed the wording.

  • need to know

    I chuckled over Lamecherry’s description of “Muchelle” in this picture…he said “she always stands like she has a pickle barrel between her legs”. However, Sarkozy’s wife is such a classy stunner and the fates are unkind to Mrs. Obama when these two are placed side by side. Michelle ought to realize this, stand by her husband and put plenty of space between her and various beauties during photo ops.

  • DBB

    I’ve read the Helene Cooper piece, a bit of lighthearted fluff, so what? Would one of you PUMA geniuses sitting in your Mom’s basement if not PM317 tell me what is the point of this post?

  • TeakWoodKite

    Am I truley sorry in advance, but does MO look like she just fell of the back of a hay truck? How does she do that? Yikes

    Notice the left shoulder of the French President rotated back as in “hands off”.

    And what are they looking at the ground for? BO’s BC?

  • AF catfish

    Obama kissed Mrs. Sarkozy FOUR times? Did he kiss Mr. Sarkozy too? No?

  • pm317

    I could be sitting in my expansive walkout basement with a beautiful garden outside (where deer frolic in the afternoon and eat my flowers much to my consternation) all of which I am happy to say I own. But alas, I am sitting in my upstairs expansive study surrounded by books, music, computers, more books and it is dark outside and raining.

    Congratulations. Your question makes my point. What is the point of this article in the esteemed NYTimes, indeed? You need a college degree to write this article in the NYTimes? If you’re happy with it, go buy a copy, get your moron friends to buy more. At least that way, I don’t have to spend my tax dollars on bailing these fools out.

  • pm317

    How does she do that? Indeed, how?! :)

  • Nobama4me

    You’ll have to excuse her, but she obviously just got back from the pool and there was no time to change before guests started to arrive…

  • mountainaires

    Oh, my.


    Mr. Obama is teasing Mrs. Obama. “You’re standing on the wrong side of me.” She moves to his other side.

    He says, “I’m just teasing.” She stares straight ahead with a smile.

    Now, if ever there were a description of a sadist in action, that is it. They humiliate you; then they tell you they’re “teasing.”

    She stares straight ahead with a smile.

    Uh-huh. But, inside, she’s probably seething with rage. This is not a happy, comfortable marriage. If he hadn’t won the election–uh, selection–I’d be willing to bet their marriage was headed for divorce.

  • Anne

    Absolutely strong negative body language. As with the pocket change jingling he did while waiting for Obama to finish being “firm” first with the Iranians. Sarkozy has little use for Obama but little choice.

  • ex-dem

    bambi used Michelle when he married her, just like he uses everyone he knows.

  • Ellen D

    You obviously don’t go to the CNN site.

    Bill kissed Hillary on the forehead on the way to the podium at the Clinton Initiative and CNN headlined it:

    “The Clintons Get Intimate”.

    Ah, I love hard-hitting news.

  • beachnan

    Good for you Mountainaires, I thought the same thing as you when I read that. What a sick little man he is. Only someone with a sick mind would think it was funny to make fun of his wife in front of others. Why didn’t the reporter realize this? Apparently, the reporter is as brain dead as Obama.

  • Ellen D

    Brings back the memory of him kissing Jill Biden full on the lips.

  • AF catfish

    On top of that he kisses Carla Bruni four times. Makes Michelle move instead of moving himself. He is getting abusive.

  • AF catfish

    The reporter realized it and reported it.

  • rw

    Just call her First Lady Pickle Bottom.

  • AF catfish

    Seriously? Imagine if Bill Clinton did that.

  • Betty

    Do you think Michelle was trying to copy the way Carla Bruni was standing.

    That is not the first picture I have seen in which Carla is leaning away from Obama. He really seems to be taken with her, or maybe it is just his way of pissing on Nicholas Sarkozy.

  • http://www.BullShit.com OSellingBullShit

    What’s MicHELLe doing in that picture…. peeing standing??

  • Lyn

    Yes that was just yuck, thanks for putting THAT picture back in my head.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Another squatter Obot with nothing of substance to say, much like the New York Times article.

    You made our point, boob.

  • Anne

    Take a look at Steve diamond’s blog, king harvest. Seems old man ayers was major benefactor. I’d cut and paste the link but I be on iPhone in kitchen cooking and kid home from college won’t get off of computer and I can’t get wireless to work just yet. So pleSe read his blog. New updates.

  • Ferd Berfle

    but does MO look like she just fell of the back of a hay truck?

    Yeah, and it looks as though she forgot her razor, too.

  • http://www.madinthemiddle.blogspot.com churl

    Bad writing; bad journalism.

  • http://! stodgie

    i haven’t seen this commented on yet but look at out gaudy michelle’s outfit is compared to the chic understated style of carla. i wonder if carla knew she was doing just that. surely michelle didn’t and i truly wonder if she has the brains to know it even now. probably not!

  • Anne

    Posted from my Banana Phone.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Yeah, but she’s bigger than him and meaner, too. I’m sure he’s in the dog house, leash and all.

  • pm317

    I guess that is why she didn’t have time wear stockings.
    (I hesitate to go to my mundane workplace without stockings. But of course these rules are for us mere mortals.)

  • pm317

    Hope you’re not referring to my writing, ;)

  • Anne

    Read lame cherry’s latest. Who is Lame Cherry?

  • Ferd Berfle

    Carla is obviously a woman of taste and refinement. As for Michelle….

    I believe that says just all that needs be said.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Annie that blog is private, no? I miss his writings.

  • pm317
  • Ferd Berfle

    This is one reason I don’t read the NYT. If I wanted society gossip or yet another silly-ass lifestyles of the rich and famous knock-off, I could get it from a much better and more informed rag, such as the National Enquirer. I buy newspapers for the news, which apparently has gone unnoticed by the jerkwater clowns running this former newspaper into the ground. What’s next, a swimsuit extra or perhaps an in-depth review of Michelle’s pet peeves, running about one hundred pages with no ads?

    Where’s Robin Leach when you need him?

  • TeakWoodKite

    Looks like the “No stockings” rule goes for as well as her kids at Christmass. BO is pathetic, about that MO was spot on.

    Can’t wait for MO to get a slot on “Dancing With the Stars”. That pose would be great in the jitterbug.

  • TeakWoodKite

    goes for her as well as her kids

  • Hank

    Did she not have a formal dress to wear? She looks like sasquatch. Big Gail…I thought she was a small person they way she is portrayed by the MSM.

  • Ferd Berfle

    That pose would be great in the jitterbug.

    In karate, that stance is called naifanchi dachi–the iron horse or horse stance. Appropriate, in this instance. That One is in big trouble.

  • pm317

    Small person, nah..

    From NY Magazine, where else:

    Michelle Obama is heroically, confoundingly, inspiringly, troublingly, soothingly, nation-unitingly, international-incident-launchingly tall.

  • Hank

    Wow, good article.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Who wrote that piece of stilted rubbish shit? This is the sort of dreck on expects to find in a high-school sophomore’s yearbook.

    The complete dumbing down of America was successful, apparently.

  • pm317

    Here you go, Ferd..There is more..rubbish

    A great night for Edgar Poe. :)

    The Obot thinks we are sitting in our mom’s basements.. (chuckling)

    Poe.. have seen his grave in Baltimore.

  • Thinker

    This is what I’ve always felt. He used Michelle for the image.

    I wonder if she knew how he felt about his other girlfriends before he starting writing his book??

    Based on my understanding, he was in love with a white woman but felt like he had to marry a black woman.

    I can’t imagine if my husband felt like that. I would feel beyond used.

  • Thinker

    I’m always hesitant to talk about her clothes, etc, but seriously, WTF does she have on???

    Why would she think that dress was appropriate??

    Look at her, then look at the first lady of France.

    ugh.

    Seriously??

    I think Michelle got punk’d by her 100 personal assistants.

  • TeakWoodKite

    It was actually my older brothers room. Mom did not like to come down there and chose to flash the lights. There were no personal computers back then.

  • TeakWoodKite

    He used Michelle and everybody else he comes in contact with.

  • http://www.king-harvest.com Stephen Diamond

    Folks,

    I consolidated Global Labor with my other two blogs on a new site called King Harvest. I had to shut down for a few months for family reasons. But I am back up now.

  • Docelder

    While the Obama’s are treated like pop stars, meanwhile legitimate protesters in Pittsburgh were treated like they were teabaggers. So the message of protest itself it would appear isn’t even of importance. The important part is to conform and to comply.

    http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090925/D9AUJCS01.html

    While we as a nation are on the topic of torture and whether the cia used it or not… ponder this. Don’t we categorize these noise based weapons as torture? I thought we did. The police in Pittsburgh don’t seem to have issues with it. Nor did anybody attending the G20 that I have read about.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Professor Diamond,
    Hope all is well domestically and wanted to followup on any updates to the Annenburg Library papers caper.

    Great to hear you are up.

    Best, back at ya.

  • Fredster

    Okay, I read the thing about cocktail casual or whatever, but geez, can’t the woman wear stockings for a meeting of the world’s leaders? Duh!

  • mary

    Just Saying…

    What have YOU been reading lately? The Timbuktu enquirer?

    Hillary’s managed single-handedly to change the whole foreign diplomacy meme and has kept true to her l995 speech statements. Unlike the Obummer idiot who’s flipped flopped on every damn issue except the Warmongering in Obama’s New Vietnam that has created 3 million refugeesand killed 1300 civilians and dozens of troops. Meantime, the BUSH III moron is contiunuing his futile efforts under the thumb of a military that intends to spend l trillion bucks on unneeded war planes and unmanned drones….

    Why don’t you start reading Nich Kristoff’s articles. And Rothkopf at Foreign Policy magazine about Hillary’s ‘revolution’. If you weren’t so snarky, you may find time to educate yourself. Or just contact Acorn…

    Just saying, sweetie…obamyopia rules….

  • mary

    Thinker!

    Obummer’s “Girlfriends”? You mean “boyfriends”!!
    Mr. Young, Mr. Larry Sinclair, who sent his famous (or infamous) new book to Mrs. Obummer by special delivery

    “Obama – Sex Lies Cocaine”…

    These days there ain’t no back of the limo for the Zero! And he’s got a handsome male “aide” too. No wonder Mich is seething….

    Oh yuck–you know I had to go read the piece–it’ll take a few weeks to get that crap out of my head.

    That they actually PAY him for that garbage represents wretched excess.

  • Sassy

    When it comes to attire, Michelle may be color-blind! Ahem!
    At least she didn’t show up with a ghastly cartridge belt under her armpits!

  • Typewriterstreaming

    She was too busy eating PIE

  • Typewriterstreaming

    Bingo. He’s totally sadistic towards Mrs. Pie Eater. Sadism under the covering of teasing. Gross.

  • Typewriterstreaming

    OH DBB that’s really sad. Your minimizing of the posts on blogs like this simply protect you from realizing you got dupped. Wake up aleady.

  • Typewriterstreaming

    She’s hiding Harry Reid under there so he doesn’t have to investigate ACORN.

  • Typewriterstreaming

    But the reporter thought it was part of their gushing love. The reporter got it NOT.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Oh, I don’t know if I would call it gushing love but perhaps, festering, weeping ooze. But you’re spot on about the reporter getting it not.

  • Ferd Berfle

    At least she didn’t show up with a ghastly cartridge belt under her armpits!

    That’s next week’s fashion faux pas.

  • pm317

    Ann Althouse had the best response on her blog for this: she asked “what kind of a smile?” The reporter is a fool — she thinks it is cute and charming that Obama is teasing her.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Like this one? Pathetic.

    “We need more of this and lots less of that (being war, rumors of war, terrorism, health care squabble, political bickering, and the egotistical snarking of some of the above readers.) Best article in today’s paper.”

    Sarkozy’s wife is such a classy stunner and the fates are unkind to Mrs. Obama when these two are placed side by side.

    Hmmmm, could this be the reason she’s invited Oprah to accompany her to Copenhagen…along with the rest of the Chicago gang to help push Chi town for the Olympics? Why the Olympic committee would choose Gangland is beyond me…maybe they won’t.

    For a better update on MEchille’s outfit and a pic of the shaggy black cocktail dress she wore last night…She might have been trying hard to copy Carla but picked a Wookie dress instead.

    I know but do you actually see anyone else wearing them? Of course, I don’t hang at Dim headquarters anymore…

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    I love the classic picture of Carla and MEchille that MOTUS has at the top of the page on the blog.

  • Scranton4Hillary

    MEshell’s stance reminds me of people I witnessed urinating in public pit toilets in China. They just hover and let it rip! Mrs. O-bla-bla is anything but graceful or femine.

    Maybe Michelle has tripped over the teleprompter cord…a major BOO BOO!

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    I just checked out the mauve, green, etc., cocktail dress on michelles mirrors blog (above), and Yikes! You can see her legs through the dress! I can hear her bots now…a little faux pas, just like Princess Di in her early years of media facination.

    This week’s faux pas is wearing one of those ridiculous bondage belts OVER the cardigan. Who wears a belt over a cardigan? With it unbuttoned and pushed half way up your arms??? Wish I could remember where the link is. Anyone else see that anywhere?
