Trooper York म्हणाले...: Well it didn't work for Hillary when she imposed that on the interns.

You need a "knock the boots" on the ground policy.; २७/५/११, ३:४५ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: DSK seems to be attracted to African women. Good move by Obama.; २७/५/११, ३:४६ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: You never know with this politicans. I mean Maria should have figured it out when Arnold kept playing the same song over and over on the Ipod.; २७/५/११, ३:४८ PM
edutcher म्हणाले...: The Wrath of Strauss-Kahn seems to be attracted to peasants.; २७/५/११, ३:५४ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: I think Michelle is ok because the French don't care for Klingons.; २७/५/११, ३:५५ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: OT, but Because of the framing, the photo perfectly illustrates a point I've long noticed: in public, the First Lady is adamant in projecting herself of equal stature as her husband. I mean in physical height.

She is a tall woman, but without fail, in public at least, she chooses footwear to bring herself exactly even with her husband's height (though you can't see what she's wearing in this photo).

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any reason or justification for this other than pride and insecurity?; २७/५/११, ३:५६ PM
RuyDiaz म्हणाले...: Guys, you don't understand. They are playing football, with Michelle as Quarterback, DSK as the ouside pass rusher, and Obama playing at left tackle.

Ironically, it is Obama who could be flagged for illegal use of the hands.; २७/५/११, ३:५७ PM
David म्हणाले...: DSK: "Monsieur Le President, cette negresse, est-elle la bonne?"

Obama: "Someone get Kerry over here to translate."; २७/५/११, ४:०२ PM
gadfly म्हणाले...: What the Hell is DSK? If Zero pays attention to anything, I surly will ignore it, but us old folks don't know what you are talking about. Abbreviations are impolite.; २७/५/११, ४:०७ PM
Shanna म्हणाले...: She is a tall woman, but without fail, in public at least, she chooses footwear to bring herself exactly even with her husband's height

Maybe she just likes heels. If I were being photographed all the time I would wear them every day!

That caption is funny.; २७/५/११, ४:१७ PM
Trooper York म्हणाले...: I think DSK got all excited because he thought he was being introduced to RuPaul.

Those frogs are real sophisticated.; २७/५/११, ४:२६ PM
Synova म्हणाले...: That page has a link to this headline at the Nation:

"Why the Bad Grandpas—Newt, Arnold, Trump, Strauss-Kahn—Are Falling Down."

Newt, Arnold, Trump - not rapists

Strauss-Kahn - arrested for sexual assault

Gotta love socialist equivalencies.; २७/५/११, ४:२६ PM
RuyDiaz म्हणाले...: Synova;

Yeah, noticed that. One thing is not like the others.; २७/५/११, ४:३१ PM
Winding down म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; २७/५/११, ४:३८ PM
dbp म्हणाले...: This would be a great photo for a caption contest:

Obama to DSK: Dude, watch your hands, she has a left hook that will put you in the hospital.; २७/५/११, ४:५७ PM
Fred4Pres म्हणाले...: President Obama said: "Damn, this old coot is worse than Pepe LePew!"

Presidnet Obama said: "Watch out there, she can take us both."*

* a commentator at the Corner came up with that gem.; २७/५/११, ४:५८ PM
The Dude म्हणाले...: Her teeth are especially unattractive, but they are scary. Bitch may not be tough as nails, but she looks as though she could eat them.; २७/५/११, ५:१४ PM
Pastafarian म्हणाले...: I love that look on Obama's face: More exasperation, maybe a little amusement, with the old pervert. It would appear as though he was debriefed and prepared for DSK's lechery, which must not have ever been much of a secret.

How did that son of a bitch get away with it for this long?; २७/५/११, ५:४८ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Obama takes advantage of the last opportunity a US President will ever have to say no to the head of the IMF.; २७/५/११, ६:०१ PM
Clyde म्हणाले...: Well, we know that DSK is an equal-opportunity "seducer"/sexual harrasser/alleged rapist-sodomizer: They're all pink on the inside.

Although I suspect that Michelle O. would rip his balls off if he tried anything with her.; २८/५/११, ४:३७ AM
jaed म्हणाले...: ...she chooses footwear to bring herself exactly even with her husband's height...Has anyone else noticed this? Is there any reason or justification for this other than pride and insecurity?

Yes. Women in formal dress are expected to wear heels; flats are never formal. Michelle is already almost as tall as her husband, so if she is dressed for a formal occasion, she's going to be quite tall. It can't really be avoided, unless she takes to wearing ballet flats or loafers with evening gowns.

(I suppose Obama could start wearing lifts in order to reassure people who think he should always look taller, but that seems like gilding the lily.)

There are a number of things to criticize about Michelle's dress sense. This isn't one of them.; २८/५/११, ३:२८ PM
