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.
The first lady embarks Thursday on a three-day national tour to celebrate the milestone with stops in Iowa, Arkansas, Texas and Florida.
Well I guess I know what I'm staying up to watch this evening, though I had the longest day ever so I really wish this show came on earlier.
Suck it up Gryphen! You will get plenty of sleep when you are dead. (I had a coach that used to say that to me all of the time.)
Update: Here's a sneak peek.
She is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOMG G-Man, I think I had the SAME COACH! You made laugh with that last line. I remember well when I was on my last breath, feeling the burn to the point of collapse and there he was, with his clipboard and stop watch, goading us on. Good times.
ReplyDeleteHere it comes...3...2...1...Rushbo and Turdblossom will be deeply offended at the "undignified spectacle" involving the First Lady in the WHITE House.
ReplyDeleteI love Michelle Obama. What a terrific First Lady!
Our First Lady is such a beacon of love and health and fitness and laughter and intelligence. I just burst with pride when I watch or listen to her and I have NEVER, EVER felt that way about any First Lady in my very long life. Not that they didn't have their good and wonderful aspects, but Michelle is just so ALIVE and VIBRANT and that isn't what I saw in the others.
ReplyDeleteCue the GOPer outrage in 3....2.....
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that is a beautiful picture of Mrs President Obama.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
I just think she's great.
Here's a sneak preview, Jesse!

At first glance, it appears that the First Lady is wearing thigh high boots. I was thinking, wow, thats something! Thats all I have.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Obama is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, our First Lady is hot !
ReplyDelete(I think I'll even work out tomorrow.)
...AND more importantly, she's got the substance to back it up. A terrific role model.

Oh dear lord, I can already hear the howls from the right/fox 'they did WHAT in the Blue Room ? And with George Washington looking on? How awful/disrespectful/unpatriotic/uncouth blah, blah, blah...they are so predictable.
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand LOVE IT and it just goes to show how comfortable and unaffected Michelle is and how she likes to have fun an play and compete in a healthy way.
She sets a beautiful standard for our children in this country and around the world. She is a living, breathing, example of her words and her commitment to health and I'm so glad that she is being showcased in so many venues for everyone to see how she enjoys her life as a First Lady.
That was Coach Mack, from Chugiak High School, which I attended for just half of a year while I lived with my dad.
ReplyDeleteHe was a tough old son of a bitch who was so beloved, that when he died entire local businesses shut down to attend his funeral.
He once pushed me out of a door suspended 12 feet above the auditorium floor because he wanted me to hurry and pull the bleachers out for an assembly.
When I complained that he almost killed me, he laughed and said that he knew it would be much harder to kill me than that.
We have a winner:

ReplyDeleteStrong happy, lovely Michelle Obama getting all the props for her "Lets move campaign" and all she can do is tell piper to get another s'more!
With her zombie meth head appearance and looking like a marionette in need of a makeover, her eyes wanting to close so bad last night...and deep exorcist "hey greta how are ya"voice... I expected to see green vomit at any min.
But FLOTUS bounds up stairs, has a great sense of humor and is healthy and strong, no botox for her...Nope health is wealth Baldy.
Our FLOTUS rocks!!!!
ReplyDeleteO/T
on the last Tundra Tart post someone stated that at the CeeofUrine that they had posted a different pic with the Greta interview, and darned if they didn't. Hhehehe, pretty sad when they try and hide how bad Granny Lulu looks from her flying monkeys.
Wonder how many guy pushups the oh-so-physically fit runner from Wasilla can do?

It took me a second or two, but then I LOST IT! Sooooooo good, funny, perfect. Thank you.
I love the First Lady! She is not afraid to laugh at herself and practice what she preaches.
ReplyDeleteSantorum takes all three states today? Sarah's not the only one off her meds...
ReplyDeleteDinty @ 5:50
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh. Sarah would have to crazy glue her finger to her thumb and push hard!
The First Lady ROCKS!!!!!
O/T - from the Bots regarding Sarah's trip to CPAC. Sad to think that these people really exist...

Please, everyone that is going- be careful, and make sure the Gov's people get the word. If these thugs have rooms in the Marriott everyone including the speakers, should be careful in the halls. It probably is not a good idea to walk the halls by oneself. Sounds like black panther thugs and union thugs might be there. Why don't they have these things in concealed carry states?
Anyway there are a lot of travel items that can be used for self-defense in a pinch. Perfume, hairspray in the face, a good sturdy inkpen, etc. I hope the gov. hires those former SEALS that were at "The Undefeated" premier. I also hope some of you all are big ol' burly ex- servicemen, who will make sure no one gives the Gov. any grief. Of course I seem to remember something about the Gov. kickboxing. She might have to kickbox one of 'em away from the stage.
Maybe someone could contact the Marriott and make sure that they are aware, they need to hire security to monitor the hallways and keep gangs of thugs from roaming around. Stay safe.
The White House is her home. Why shouldn't she have fun there? I admit to a tiny gasp when that ball went flying in a room with all that "stuff" in it. I love her though. She's awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnon 4:29, I also first thought she had on thigh-boots. Now that might be pushing the envelope a little...
ReplyDeleteha ha !
What an amazing First Lady! This is hysterical with Jimmy, check out his outfit!

Wow, this is so much more lively and energizing than that other video of family life where one child pushes the face of another, younger, child into her own birthday cake.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast.
