Video: FLOTUS vs. Fallon in pointless contest
posted at 2:30 pm on February 8, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
Remember when the White House was a place of refined manners, professional behavior decorum? Yeah… me neither. I was only born in the fifties. But if we’re going to keep using the highest office in the land as a clown car, why not put on the red rubber nose, big floppy shoes and just go for it! Clearly the staff had that in mind when they cooked up the idea of having the First Lady invite late night comic Jimmy Fallon over to the Blue Room to engage in some comic athletic competitions to commemorate the one year anniversary of the FLOTUS’s “Let’s Move” initiative.
The normally dignified Blue Room at the White House became a late-night show comedy set last month when first lady Michelle Obama engaged in a friendly game of tug of war with host Jimmy Fallon, according to a photo released by the White House today.
The scene, part of a taping for Fallon’s show, is meant to promote Mrs. Obama’s commitment to physical activity — and good humor — on the second anniversary of her “Let’s Move!” initiative aimed at fighting childhood obesity.
And (lucky you!) we even have the video of this historic occasion. Go ahead and click on the embed below to watch. Or not.

When will the State Department invite Al Zawahiri and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed over for an honors and brunch?

I despise this administration far more than I do some dirt-covered, shit-kicking savage, who hates America.
OhEssYouCowboys on March 7, 2013 at 5:27 PM
Almost 100% sharia compliant. It can’t be long now.
tom daschle concerned on March 7, 2013 at 5:28 PM
Please. This was a Hillary thing and not much different than the Benghazi clusterfark. She made it known she didn’t want to know, so her staff made sure she wasn’t told.
Dusty on March 7, 2013 at 5:29 PM
Is there any way that this epitome of Muslim womanhood and freedom can get a free ride at Berkeley, or Harvard, or Yale, or Columbia, or Princeton …?
Maybe she can bunk with Fluke, and they can count their taxpayer funded IUD’s?
One can hope, I suppose.
OhEssYouCowboys on March 7, 2013 at 5:32 PM
Would this have been the work of Hilary and her chief adviser..?

What kind of residency is required, before this flower of Muslim love for America can take a seat Congress?

This is along the same lines as Castro being invited to speak at the African Methodist Episcopal Church in NYC.
And you wonder how Obama was elected, and why this nation is rotting from within?
OhEssYouCowboys on March 7, 2013 at 5:46 PM
Sounds like her level of competence to me, and “what difference does is make now“? /
scalleywag on March 7, 2013 at 5:46 PM
They did. Why do you think she’s getting the award.
rbj on March 7, 2013 at 5:47 PM
Er, because The Adults are in Charge?

Vindication!!!

Did she pull out the “if there was a guy….with a pie…. standing in the back of the room when she was trying to give a speech” defense????
/options
ted c on March 7, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Slightly off topic…but does John Kerry remind anyone of the guy in Reanimator who got his head chopped off? Random thought, I know.
Pope Linus on March 7, 2013 at 5:56 PM
And they could have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids!
Geeze Louise guys. It’s not like she made a mockery of Senate rules by filibustering until she got an answer about whether or not the Prezzy could drone attack American citizens on our own soil. Grow up!

wolfie and crew are sympathetic for this woman…she was HACKED no ifs ands or buts…
cmsinaz on March 7, 2013 at 5:59 PM
She’d has to be a favorite of the dems, and I’m sure they’d find a way for her to serve in CONgress if it came to that.
hawkeye54 on March 7, 2013 at 6:01 PM
To keep the evil, devious, morally and ethically bankrupt, western culture, christian hating ones in office.
hawkeye54 on March 7, 2013 at 6:02 PM
Did she get the award for passing the virginity test?
BL@KBIRD on March 7, 2013 at 6:10 PM
So they thought because she was a Muslim ‘victim’ that she wouldn’t actually turn out to hold majority Muslim opinions.
Just because someone is getting their butt kicked in the Muslim world, does not make them our friend.
sharrukin on March 7, 2013 at 6:13 PM
This is a major embarrassment, totally inexcusable given the resources that State has to do a simple background check. And will anyone try to get to the bottom of why this person wasn’t properly vetted before being trotted out to be honored? Not a chance.
scalleywag on March 7, 2013 at 6:14 PM
Could’ve gone to a woman who actually deserved the medal like Malala Yousufzai, the 14 year old Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban for daring to want an education. but that would make too much sense.
How I despise these people.
sanjuro on March 7, 2013 at 6:15 PM
What a tard. Lucky he married a vile scumbag that happened to be an heir to a ketchup fortune.
acyl72 on March 7, 2013 at 6:17 PM
The last one who claimed a hacking was Anthony Weiner…
Archivarix on March 7, 2013 at 6:18 PM
Via Special Report with Brett Baier, State is going to defer on the award until next year to investigate the matter.
rbj on March 7, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Typical for these morons; this administration is a clown show.
Bishop on March 7, 2013 at 6:33 PM
She is obviously not a virgin. The “lady” doth protest too much… and not too convincingly.
(Does Kerry have a toupee? He looks absurd.)
onlineanalyst on March 7, 2013 at 6:37 PM
Aaaaaahhhh….the Weener defense ;-(
Always works like a charm !!
burrata on March 7, 2013 at 6:43 PM
because she came highly recommended by Lazy Fairykhan and the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers couldn’t say NO to him ?
burrata on March 7, 2013 at 6:54 PM
A horse, a traitor a communist, ilegal alien and muslim walk into a bar….bartender…what will ya have mr obama and mr kerry
crosshugger on March 7, 2013 at 7:22 PM
.

The hacking just happened to occur during an extended period that she was “off-line”, and couldn’t detect it.
It happens to people all the time.
Oh no, it never happened to me personally … but still . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Bill O’Reilley just grilled Beckel on Clinton’s greatest three accomplishments as head of state. What he came up with:
Strengthening of Nato: By handing off responsibility to other NATO countries (heh)
Women’s Rights in China (Because she gave a speech or something)
Poland’s Missile Defense System (By Dismantling it because it was a joke).
Seriously, they better get their talking points distributed quick and figure out just what they are going to say good about her other than she visited some 120 countries and had these meager accomplishments. (yah, Benghazi doesn’t count either).
She’s Done.

Finally, Ibrahim herself has spoken, writing in Arabic on her Twitter page. Egyptian democracy activist Mina Rezkalla provides the translation: “I refuse to apologize to the Zionist lobby in America regarding my previous anti-Zionist statements under pressure from American government therefore they withdrew the award.”

Was she nominated by Hillary’s handmaiden Huma/dinger?

I think the important and not yet asked question is, “Who made the suggestion to award this woman this honor?”
shick on March 8, 2013 at 9:15 AM
Isn’t this the same John Kerry that was honored by Hanoi for ‘Helping to End the War’?
What a guy.
TimBuk3 on March 8, 2013 at 9:43 AM
JFKY nowhere to be seen when an actual anti-semite appears.
I’m rather amazed the Arabs let a woman get this much public recognition.
