Blockbuster AP/NBC report: Date night out for the Obamas
posted at 6:47 pm on May 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
The best part of fluffy garbage like this is that the media knows they’re going to be mocked relentlessly for it by the right — and they simply don’t care. So tingly are they over the second coming of Camelot that not only are they in the tank, they’re downright proud to be there. It really is like a romance: Sure, they’re acting moony and goofy, but damn it, they’re in love. How else to explain an otherwise sober reporter from the New York Times thinking it’d be a good idea to stand up at a nationally televised press conference and ask Obama how enchanted he feels?
I’m not sure how much dumber and gooier it can get. Maybe Bo will start himself a family with a good-looking poodle and our new president will heroically help deliver the litter. I can almost see the photo of him grinning, six new puppies in his arms, with various reporters making the “awwww” face just over his shoulder.

Must. Throw. Up.

Our Messiah, moving Heaven & Earth. And soooo in love….awwwww
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Tim Zank on May 3, 2009 at 6:50 PM
I. Swear. I. can’t. take. this. anymore. This is the most shallow administration I’ve ever seen. Everything is a Hollywood script only the nightmare ending will be for real.

Why are they eating at posh restaurants? Real leadership would be to give away all his money save 80K a year and eat simple protein and potatoes every night.
Real leadership would have been to let Pelosi write up that sickening bailout, drop it in the shredder and then personally lead a trimmed down freeze.
Dude sickens me.
MarcusBrody on May 3, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Why no pictures of Michelle walking her TRUE love?

Is she wearing her $540 shoes?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on May 3, 2009 at 6:53 PM
The MSM will pay a steep price for this one day…
AUINSC on May 3, 2009 at 6:55 PM
When governing fails, I guess it’s date night.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on May 3, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Not gonna watch it, nope
conservnut on May 3, 2009 at 6:56 PM
This is just sickening. If one were to soley rely upon mainstream media outlets for the news, he truly would be Dear Leader.
long_cat on May 3, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Seriously, this is awful and very disturbing if you ask me. AP/NBC might as well be TMZ, although I think the reports on TMZ are way more entertaining.
deidre on May 3, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Is there any reason why this link wasn’t used. Just asking.
radiofreevillage on May 3, 2009 at 6:57 PM
I have “dates” with my husband all the time.
And?
annoyinglittletwerp on May 3, 2009 at 6:57 PM
I wish they made a pill that could make you go into hibernation for four years. I would take several.

This really is shaping up to make Carter look like a genius in comparison. 4 short years ago the Republicans were on the top of the world…what happened? How did THIS moment come to be?! I don’t recall a Bush moonlight serenade…at least not one so thickly cover by the MSM. Syrup for his waffle I guess. Depressing…
trader67 on May 3, 2009 at 6:58 PM
I made out with my girlfriend this weekend.
Where was the media?

Sure, presidents shouldn’t prosecute their predecessors……but these guys will.

I see the trolls are returning but only on the light weight posts. Convention for New Talking Points?

At least they weren’t “dancing” in their bathing suits. Let’s be thankful for small favors.
Cindy Munford on May 3, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Not meaning to discount what has been a worldwide medical and economic tragedy, but I couldn’t help noticing the Ode to Oneself and the Hundred Days was pre-empted this week by something as down-to-earth, hey, downright barnyard, as the “swine flu.” Such irony.
Wethal on May 3, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Cindy, AllahP hasn’t posted anything but lightweight posts.
He is studiously ignoring the Abu Ghraib Seven for some reason.
strangelet on May 3, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Ok I watched it. And regret it. What was that hanging off her back? tail???
conservnut on May 3, 2009 at 7:03 PM

Yes, our new talking point is: do these people know they will be mocked relentlessly, and if they do, do they care?
radiofreevillage on May 3, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Yeah, it’s really fluffy, and I am no fan of the cult of The One. However, if this married black couple manage to be a role model for marriage in a community that has historically had trouble with men sticking around to be good fathers and husbands, I think it is videotape well invested.
marybel on May 3, 2009 at 7:04 PM
KickandSwimMom — You may have really written an epitath. St. John Kennedy nearly destroyed the planet and he had a real degree from college. And he loved this country. Imagine what this POS can do.
IlikedAUH2O on May 3, 2009 at 7:04 PM
Michelle really looks like a wide-load from behind.
Lou Budvis on May 3, 2009 at 7:04 PM
No, no reason. Not sure what your point is: That’s the same AP article. Did Fox do an original report or something?
Allahpundit on May 3, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Yes, he’s avoiding your sick penchant for anecdotes to justify your anti-torture memes.
You must have a ‘strange’ life, pardon the pun.
Richard Romano on May 3, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Cool. I’ve been waiting for those two to take a walk.
LibTired on May 3, 2009 at 7:08 PM
If this is the Second Coming of Camelot, does that mean that Barry is cheating on Michelle with various women? If so, then who is his Marilyn? Scarlett Johanssen?
Illinidiva on May 3, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Yup, anti-torture and proud of it.
Your mask is slipping.
strangelet on May 3, 2009 at 7:08 PM
The hammer will fall first in Georgia, a beautiful people that deserve our ultimate support and backing, then the Far East, then the Middle East.
Dear Leader will plant arugula as he slices away missile defense and our very lives.
But we can watch him and Chewy holding hands every single stinking day.

ahhh… the president and the first ladyboy. warms the cockles of my heart.

Aww crap.. Now I have to watch the crap.

The press has become the gossipy Ladies in Waiting.
At least we don’t (yet) have to hear status reports of the Royal marital bedsheets.

Clarification
When I said I made out with my girlfriend this weekend, I was not referring to Kirsten Powers.
….that’s next weekend.

I swear if the media asked to follow these two into the bathroom, they would probably take it into consideration. I think they love the media more than the media loves them.
sherry on May 3, 2009 at 7:14 PM
My point, which of course you very well understand, is that they also thought it was newsworthy. Hence everything you said about MS-NBC equally applies to FoxNews.
Right? Probably wrong. I wonder why.
radiofreevillage on May 3, 2009 at 7:14 PM
I swear, the Faux Lady walks like bigfoot.
Key West Reader on May 3, 2009 at 7:14 PM

I get no delight to think this way. In fact, I really worry about the future my kids will have in this country.
KickandSwimMom on May 3, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I was unaware of trolls being limited to Allah posts. Who knew? There opinions were greatly anticipated on
Gitmo Looking Better All the Time.
Obama uses WH Press Corps as Threat Against Chrysler Investors.
But it’s good to see at least they know who they are.
Cindy Munford on May 3, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Imagine the headlines in 2005: George sparks Laura while troops die in Iraq.

This ACLU backed A-G photo thing is going to get more American soldiers killed, after the muslim world in re-inflamed once again over it…so I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to play it up, unless they enjoy putting Americans at risk by dredging up the past.
Oh, wait…
Dr. Manhattan on May 3, 2009 at 7:19 PM
The harder the media tries to force this couple upon me, the more I loathe them all.
carbon_footprint on May 3, 2009 at 7:19 PM
It’s not even accurate reporting. The “reporter”, the trained journalist, said that this was their first date night since moving into the Whitehouse.
It wasn’t. This was at least their second date night on taxpayer expense. On Valentine’s Day, they flew in Air Force One at huge expense to go to their favorite restaurant in Chicago.
Margee on May 3, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Damn, Cindy, I’m imagining a gaggle of PR people at the WH reading that and slapping their foreheads. I fully must now expect the “dancing in bathing suits” coverage, soon. UNINTEDED CONSEQUENCES?
zeebeach on May 3, 2009 at 7:19 PM
“sniff” “sniff” The last time I saw something so charming and touching was when Bill Clinton danced with Hillary on the beach. Then again two weeks later the entire nation knew how to spell Monica Lewinsky and that Billy boy loved the way his intern “seasoned” his cigars.
Jdripper on May 3, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Since I’m sure I’m one of “the trolls”, let me inform you that I occasionally post in Ed’s threads. Generally, I think he’s much more shallow and partisan than AP. Hence I tend not to waste my time reading all of his postings.

Ed? Shallow? Perhaps you might reevaluate if you bothered to read his stuff. More partisian than AP? Possibly. Shallow?
/eye roll
bikermailman on May 3, 2009 at 7:21 PM
No they will come up with something new.
Cindy Munford on May 3, 2009 at 7:21 PM
He’d have to be an Alpha for that…
/sorry AP :)
bikermailman on May 3, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I am so sorry, I was not talking about you. Why would I consider you a troll? My fault, I won’t specifically point them out.
Cindy Munford on May 3, 2009 at 7:23 PM
They’re like Cosby on the Himself album. When the baby does his poopy, “awwww…loook at the baby poopy! Can the baby do his poo poo? Yes you can do the poo poo!”
bikermailman on May 3, 2009 at 7:24 PM
This proves Bush was a lousy president. He never took a walk with Laura.

Bwahahaha! “Lawyers claim”, she says.

Uhm, but I’m still paying for my gasoline and rent, O Deliverer.

lol, that isn’t a photo link….the Abu Ghraib grunts that got scapegoated over their CinC’s secret torture policy are suing him.
Gotta love America….proof by lawsuit.
The only country in the world that could have brought down the pederast priests.

Define “torture”.
Does it include getting one’s head cut off?
Or having to decide whether to burn alive or jump a thousand feet to your death, without knowing why you are being forced to make such a decision?
Del Dolemonte on May 3, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Does anyone ever ask if the female dog wants to have sex? No! It will be nonconsensual. Rape. Obama will be aiding and abetting in RAPE. The first RAPIST president.

lowandslow on May 3, 2009 at 7:32 PM
strangelet wants us all to attack her/him/it for picking on ed. well if there is anyone who can take care of himself, it is ed.
kelley in virginia on May 3, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Also……I expect people here mostly read AllahP because of what Michelle Malkin sees in him….i read Malkin occasionaly to see what AllahP sees in her.
So far I don’t get it.

strangelet on May 3, 2009 at 7:33 PM
My bad. Considering there’s been quite a number of calls to ban me from this site, I tend to operate according to a well-known wisdom:
radiofreevillage on May 3, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Gee, why in the world would people lend credence to the accusation that this White House is using the press to threaten its opponents? What, like the media can’t think for themselves?

I hope there was a “short pier” involved.

This shot just proves Obama is no Michael Jordan. I thought he was perfect and super at everything?
deidre on May 3, 2009 at 7:34 PM
LOL, a lawsuit also proved that Bill Clinton committed felony perjury. Another lawsuit proved that Iraq was involved in the 9/11 attacks.
Are you sure you want to wander down that road? My guess is that like most shallow Leftists, you only agree with the results of a lawsuit if it fits your political template.
Del Dolemonte on May 3, 2009 at 7:34 PM
