"Last month, Mrs. Obama shopped at a suburban Virginia Target store, her face masked by a baseball cap and sunglasses."

"The first lady says it's easy to go unnoticed when she shows up at places where no one expects her, like Starbucks or Chipotle."

She says she sneaks out of the White House "as much as possible."

I think it's funny to take that literally.

Yeah, I'd say she spends quite a bit of time at Chipotle.

They have a burrito there that would choke a grizzly. That fucking thing probably contains 80 grams of fat.

Careful, Ann.

"That fucking thing probably contains 80 grams of fat."

Is that only when you say yes to the sour cream, the cheese, and the avocado?

There are a lot of choices.

And I like those burritos.

Is it too soon to remark about the size of Gloria Cain's ass? Or the BLING BLING she's wearing on any given day?

They forgot to mention the Secret Service agents. There are more federal agents around her than there were around the Branch Davidians.

coketown म्हणाले...

Didn't it turn out that the Administration tipped off an AP photographer on Mrs. Obama's impromptu Target run? I guess after Her Majesty's Spanish vacation and opulent taste in fashion, it's good to get a few pictures of her being just a regular person, shopping at target, getting photographed with Canon 1D Mark III's. I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me!! Like, so annoying!

coketown म्हणाले...

And too bad she didn't go unnoticed in the first place I didn't expect her: the White House.

Damn, this woman is irritating.

Rose म्हणाले...

I wonder what's up with this charade.

Is it a case of 'be careful what you ask for' and not liking being IN the White House?

Or is it a cynical attempt to pretend to be 'just like you.'

Maybe both - but does anyone really believe she 'sneaks' - when the Secret Service has to go in ahead of time and surround the place.

Eh, who even cares.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Didn't it turn out that the Administration tipped off an AP photographer on Mrs. Obama's impromptu Target run? "

Yes, but unless she's lying, she's going out all the time, getting fast food and dog food and what all.

अनामित म्हणाले...

Can you believe the gall of this woman, pretending she is the "First Lady" of the United States of America, just because she happens to be married to the man who was elected President by a majoprity in our constitutionally-based democratic process?

The arrogance of some people! And she's a black lady!

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

The best burrito I have ever had was in Napa when I saw some Mexican guys in cowboy hats coming out of La Luna. I knew it had to have great food. So I went in with the kids.

It was mind blowing good. Forget French Laundry, try the food there. It is just as good at about $6 (as opposed to $600).

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

I would think her wearing a hat and sunglasses with several secret service agents (and probably a staffer or two) in tow might raise some attenion.

Pastafarian म्हणाले...

Althouse: "And I like those burritos."

Yeah, I bet you like about 1/4 of one. I'm a hog, and I couldn't finish that thing. And I've seen your food-blogging where you daintily split a burger with Meade.

Now, Mrs. Obama, I could picture her going to town on one of those things. Not that there's anything wrong with it; other than the mind-boggling hypocrisy of her hectoring school children to eat their fucking broccoli.

अनामित म्हणाले...

If it is true that she sneaks out then I feel really sorry for her security detail because she is putting their lives in danger.

And if it isn't true that she sneaks out then she is simply a liar.

Either way it isn't pretty and indicative of the nonsense that is going on in the White House. Then again does this surprise anyone? Anybody remember the nonsense that happened when the Obamas went on a "dinner date"? The traffic, the hassles, the security issues.

There were, and are, a lot of reasons to not like George Bush but one of the things to like about him was that he didn't go out of his way to inconvenience people or put his security detail in unnecessary danger.

coketown म्हणाले...

Yes, but unless she's lying, she's going out all the time...

You can be honest and disingenuous at the same time. I suspect this sudden emphasis on Michelle's middle class shopping habits is part of Campaign 2012. She's just like us. Drinking Starbucks Coffee and eating Chipotle (which is so good). But then, she's NOT like us, because who wears sunglasses indoors? And, you know, who rents out entire floors of Spanish luxury resorts?

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

And ask Mick if she is qualified to be First Lady if her husband is a British subject.

She probably secretly sneaks out to drink English Earl Grey Tea and crumpets.

अनामित म्हणाले...

It is easy to go unnoticed when there are three men surrounding you, and a bunch more out in the black armored car?

That doesn't wash.

I think she's trying to make this look like Washington DC Holiday and she's playing Audrey Hepburn.

garage: "Is it too soon to remark about the size of Gloria Cain's ass?"

Maybe you should wait til she's called a fashion plate, and compared favorably to Carla Bruni and Jackie Kennedy. Because then it would have some purpose, serving as a counter to an obvious bit of propaganda, instead of just being nasty douchebaggery.

So when someone does I can dive bomb her relentlessly about her weight and appearance? Something tells me the rules would be different.

cubanbob म्हणाले...

Snark aside, I really wish the president and his wife were able to go incognito to a supermarket to buy groceries, fill up a tank of gas and shop like average folks. It would certainly help ground them in reality and acquaint them with the real world effects of his policies.
I wish every president and their spouse could do the same. Getting them out of the bubble would be a great help in our leaders understanding of the realities of the average American. Reports, statistics, briefings are all well and fine and necessary but first hand sticker shock and reality check truly drives the lesson home.

Michael म्हणाले...

Garage: No, the rules will not be different. If Mrs. Cain as first lady is on the cover of Vogue and Vanity Fair as an example of chic you are more than welcome to opine on her fat ass if indeed she has one. And if she launches campaign after campaign to do X and you catch her doing Y you have absolute permission to carpet bomb. As much time as you hang around Conservatives you would think that you would have learned we are a much more fair group than a bunch of lefties.

garage mahal म्हणाले...

So why wouldn't you terrorize Vogue or Vanity Fair?

Michael म्हणाले...

Why would someone go to Chipolte to eat Mexican food? There are 12 million goddamn Mexicans here and a hell of a lot of them are eating fantastic food. I myself went to a restaurant the other day called Oaxaca where I ordered chapulines. They came out of the kitchen to watch the gringo eat them. I expected applause but only got approving nods. Chipolte. Wisconsin needs help.

Michael म्हणाले...

Because Vogue and Vanity Fair are not going on and on about what we eat.

For once, you actually make sense, garbage. I am no fan of any First Lady being the National Scold (like the current hypocritical fool) or the National Representative of A Noble Cause (like Laura Bush and reading). This is not a monarchy and the President and First Lady are supposed to be first among equals.

But I do look forward to you and all the other tolerant lefties explain why the Indonesian / Kenyan / Hawaiian private school mulatto is more authentically black than Herman or Gloria Cain. In fact, I suspect we will no longer hear the left employ the neologism "N-word" when "ni**er" will suffice so much better for those uppity Cains.

Actually it's Herman Cain that's already playing the race card on that. He's says Obama isn't authentically black. Not to mention Limbaugh and the right constant blathering about Obama not being fully black. Or something painfully fucking stupid to that effect.

Especially to boast about this. There are plenty of bad guys in that area who would be aware of Michelle's habits and able to stage violence or even a kidnapping.

Of course, Michelle is traveling with a huge entourage that secures the places she visits before she's there. It's not like Joe Psycho Schmo can be sitting in chipotle with some kind of weapon and Michelle Obama sits at the table next to him.

Michelle Obama explained she wasn't proud of America, so I don't know why she wouldn't lie to us. She doesn't like us. She thinks we are stupid and can be easily fooled.

Exactly when has that been true? Maybe I missed it, but every Republican FLOTUS (and children) since Pat Nixon has been ridiculed and chided in the press. You do remember Pat's Republican cloth coat and the kerfuffle over a fucking cocker spaniel. Nancy Reagan's replenishing of the WH china is still liberal "rich bitch" dogma, contrary to facts.

Why is it okay for Michelle Obama to borrow clothing and jewelery but not Nancy Reagan, especially when both women are millionaires in their own right?

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

Michael, acutally Cain said:

Boortz, at the tail end of the interview, asks Cain how he’d do in a debate against Obama:

“It would almost be no contest.”

Ticking off ways he could compete with Obama, Boortz says that Cain would be able to talk about the black experience in America.

Cain’s response: “[Obama's] never been a part of the black experience in America.”


That may be slightly broad. Obviously Obama is part of American Black experience from adulthood, but he sure did not grow up in it.

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

And garage, what Herman Cain said is not playing the race card. Unless you think when Obama mimics a southern accent some times that is racist. Herman Cain grew up in a black household in Atlanta where his dad worked as a janitor, driver, and other similar jobs. Barack Obama was mostly raised by his white banker grandparents or his mom in Indonesia. His "black" connection at that point was from his Kenyan father (not an African American one).

Unless of course you want to consider the influence/involvement of Frank Marshall Davis on young Barack (which if some of the theories are true may shoot Mick's natural born president theory out of the water).

And Harry Belefonte is free of course to call Cain a "bad apple" and other nonsense.

Michele Obama is not overweight. She is not a petite woman and has a derriere that is most likely genetic and not uncommon among her race.

The insults regarding her size by those like Rush Limbaugh and others like some the commenters here, is nothing more than vicious.

How does anyone know how much she eats at Chipotle? Can anyone here say they don't on occasion eat junk food? She is promoting good eating habits for the basis of ones daily diet. She NEVER said having treats were verboten, that is just another petty way to insult this woman.

OTOH, she had that sweet UC Hospital gig that paid her $300K just b/c her hubby could get the hospital federal grants, and she was so essential they didn't even replace her when she left. So that was certainly easier "work" than the White House.

Funny that, Allie. I mean, Little Black Jesus still has a majority in the Senate; maybe you should go talk to the Democrats about capitulation. After all, it's not like he needs Republican votes (oh, by the way, did you see that Democrats voted against the SCOAMF's "pass this now" jobs bill? Please explain to me how that's the GOP's fault).

Van Jones? The racist anti-Semite? Elizabeth Warren? The pig-ignorant economic illiterate who is slavering at the mouth to turn the mob on those evil capitalists who dare object to The One? Yes, I have no doubt you find them to be worth your admiration. Poor Hussein. If only he could be strong and fight the Republicans. Maybe he ought to put them in their place by saying "I won." Or perhaps he could warn them that the only thing standing between them and the pitchforks is him. You know, something bold.

I can see how the Leftist true believers feel abandoned by centrist,cautious ineffectual Obama, but I have no sympathy for the progs. Back from whence you came. You don't deserve power and you don't have the ideological nor political majority, let alone the maturity to lead.
