NEW YORK (AP) — Barack Obama knew his role when he took the stage at a global development meeting Thursday, and it was not leader of the free world.
It was adoring spouse.
In New York for meetings at the United Nations, the president hopped in a motorcade and ducked over to a downtown hotel to serve as the warmup act for his wife, who was speaking at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative founded by former President Bill Clinton.
Obama laid it on thick.
(via Daily Beast)
“I am not just here today to sing President Clinton’s praises or to commend all of you for the terrific work that all of you have done, although I am grateful for that,” Obama began. “I am here to play an even more important role. And that is to introduce my better half, my extraordinary wife and America’s extraordinary first lady, Michele Obama.”
The president was just getting warmed up.
“Bill Clinton understands where I am coming from here,” Obama said to cascades of laughter. “He knows what it is like to be married to someone who is smarter, somebody who is better looking, somebody who is just all around a little more impressive than you are.”

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 9:12pmA quote from Brian Mulroney about Ronald Reagan on their marriages. “When their car drove in a moment later, out stepped Nancy and Mila, looking like a million bucks,” Mulroney said. “And as they headed toward us, President Reagan beamed. He threw his arm around my shoulder and he said, with a grin, ‘You know, Brian, for two Irishmen, we sure married up.’ ” I hope I get to see another president with some class.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 8:51pmAm I the only one who noticed that both presidents are wearing a blue tie? Pretty soon all those communist nazis will be wearing blue ties. Plus, here is what Color Wheel Pro has to say about the color blue:” Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness.” So it is obvious, they are trying to hypnotize us. Make us calm. But it aint gonna work. Want to know why? Coz we know how to read the constitution! And we aren’t communist nazis. So bill and barry, go back woolworth’s and tell them you want your five dollars back, coz your ties are useless against us.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 9:31pmthese two men obviously worship the devil. think about it… Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama. those are the last four democratic presidents. and how many of those men fathered a SON to die for HIS country?! NONE, at least that we know about. Maybe they had the male children sent off to russia to be raised by a COMMUNIST. Or maybe they had the male children ABORTED, like the godless democratic nazis that they are. And talk about the color BLUE. How many of you have read about the BLUE KORAN? When Glenn Beck is finally elected POTUS in 2012, none of this will be allowed, because it isn’t in the constitution. Beck and Christie in 2012!!

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 10:11pmSame Blue (Clip-On) Tie when posing with ex-preidents standing between the Bush’s who were also wearing Blue Ties while Clinton (distancing himself from Obama), and Carter (Ultra Superior) were wearing Red Ties. Obama called Bill and asked what he’s wearing, Bill replied “Blue of course”, then quickly called the superior one and suggested Red.

Posted on September 23, 2010 at 10:30pmPeople underestimate the role Michele plays in this administraton. She is not the stay at home Mom she pretends to be. Look at her speeches prior to the election… read her biographies. she really is the driving force behind the man…she is not to be underestimated.

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 9:46amWell EVERYONE knows Michelle isn’t a stay at home mom.. HER mother is raising her kids for her, they are just a prop for a FAMILY .. So what is NEW??? However.. I don’t find her any smarter than OBAMA.. fact is she has really pissed off MOM’S on BOTH sides the isle with her so called health care food bans.. One thing a MOM that takes care of their own family does NOT like is someone who DOESN’T to tell them WHAT TO DO.. NOPE that is going down ALL WRONG.. Hope her kids manage to grow up without eating disorders after all the pressure she puts on them to be PERFECT..
