At The Blaze, we’ve chronicled the odd facial expressions of Joe Biden, but the latest video by Barack Obama could mean the president is joining the list.
The Obama campaign has released a fundraising video that details Barack and Michelle’s first date. The idea is that after hearing about their first meal, you’ll rush to donate money to share a dinner with them for a first date of your own with the couple. But after seeing the video, they may have overestimated the pull.
Here’s how the Daily Mail describes the awkward video in its headline:
In the video, the Obamas describe their date to the Art Institute in Chicago. It involved lunch, a fountain, and then a movie — Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing.”
But mostly, the video includes some interesting faces from the president:
Now, it is true that in almost any video one is able to stop it at some point and grab an awkward photo. But rest assured, that’s not the case. Watch the video and see for yourself:

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:28amI wonder if MOOCHELLE will tell you what you have to eat when you go out to dinner with them. “A cheese burger, you say you want… NO WAY, it’s greens for you pal, and no way are you even going to think about getting fries”…… “Oh and by the way, WE LEFT YOU WITH THE BILL”!

Jun. 25, 2012 at 12:21pmTwo things- One, is the first line backer standing in a hole? Two, at :30, Obama corrects her and say actually it was lunch not dinner, and she lovingly obeys. But she didn’t say dinner? The whole date sounds made up to me.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:48amI don’t agree. Obama is not a good actor at all. He telegraphs his feelings when he speaks. It’s especially evident when he gets perturbed by someone. I don’t think he would make a successful poker player.
The interactions I have seen between these two show a couple who are pretty happy with each other, even if their policies and goals are straight from Saul Alinski and Karl Marx.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 2:53pmWow….they need a telepromter to get the lie straight! I don’t this Michelle was even on the date..must of been one of Barry “day dream” girls like in his book.
These guys look like they had a pre-arranged marriage and met the first time in front of Rev. Wright..when he got to kiss his bride!

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:22amI KNOW what bugs me about this video so much…it’s about HIM…it’s not about THEM. HE did everything so right…”gentlemen, take tips”…it’s not about love or about a relationship. It’s about HIM and how HE “romanced” her…which was as unromantic as a giving a toaster oven to your wife for your first anniversary …
He can’t even talk about his first date with his wife without self-promotion. He is incapable of focussing on anyone but HIMSELF. Unsexy, Unromantic, Unattractive, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:48amWow…. you hit the nail on the head. I too was thinking, what is so WRONG with this video… and you are right, it’s not like a “long term couple, reminising about their first date”… (I mean I can imagine thousands of people…. and yes, forgeting some of the facts… but then remembering….) THAT’s NORMAL. What isn’t normal is HIS ACTING LIKE HE IS THE COOLEST THING AROUND… AND HE IS SO ROMANTIC….and you are right… it’s all about HIM.
I too, could PUKE.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 4:03pmWhy did Obama not say “LGBT and straight folks, take notes”? Where is the heartfelt diversity?? Why is gay guy trying so heard to act hetero? What a first-class bigot.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 9:56pmYou are sooooo right. Everything is always about him and always will be (at least to him). Let’s not forget UNAMERICAN because I am sure he never forgets where he really stands, even on their ROMANTIC first date.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:22amSeriously…. This isn’t a bad video. I am to the right of Limbaugh but I don’t see this as anything to get excited about.
Don’t use this as an attack on Obama. it won’t work. He is not his cold self here… he is even a bit likable (barf, I can’t believe I said that). Use his record and his beliefs instead.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:19amOh get over it. That’s cute enough. Two yuppies downtown meet for lunch at The Art Institute, why not? It doesn’t look near as bad as you make it out. My wife and I went to Catfish Charlies outside England AFB, La for our first date. First time I ever saw peanuts on the floor. 1980. It was kind of funny to watch though.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:17amI know EXACTLY what we did on my first date with my husband…and it was nearly 29 years ago! I wouldn’t have mistook dinner with lunch with “when did we see a movie?”…was it before or after…?
I would seriously doubt the accuracy of this staged video…
Obama has always seemed asexual to me…he doesn’t exude any type of sweetness or lovey vibes…even ugly old men can exude attractiveness when they’re caught nuzzling their wives…there is no spontaneous love coming from this guy…maybe that’s it…that bothers me….

Jun. 25, 2012 at 11:32amThank you. That’s exactly what I took away from this. If a guy makes that great an impression on a woman on the first date, she remembers all the details.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:15amDude seriously!? Yknow whenever people accuse ALL Right thinking people of being racists its because of people like you. Whenever I get in arguments with people who try and say that we only oppose him because he’s black, I tell them that we conservatives are more principled than libs because we don’t vote on race but merit. Then racists like you come along and make us all look bad. Yes GWB was also called monkey, and that was wrong. But somehow I get the feeling that your use of monkey probably has some racial connotations due to the fact you have a pic of Archie Bunker, that lovable racists. God I hope you’re a troll trying to make us look bad.

Jun. 25, 2012 at 10:10amHave to agree with that. It made me think of an SNL skit going wrong where the actors forgot their lines. Seems to me that they were not prepared for the question and had to BS their way through this stumbling answer. I would venture to say that these two made a contractual pact to marry to benefit each political and/or job goals. I still say the children are the products of artificial insemination.
