Presenting the Comedy Team of FLOTUS and POTUS!
If for nothing else, credit should be given to the First Lady of the United States, our FLOTUS, and the president of the United States, our POTUS, for their ability to make jokes, real knee-slappers sometimes, and often without cracking a smile. The former Michelle LaVaughan Robinson is especially adept at amusing an audience although Barack Hussein Obama isn’t far behind.
Far and away funny has been Mrs. Obama’s bizarre sense of style, sort of a cross between Chicago-ghetto and nouveau Lady Gaga but her delivery of straight lines is remarkably riotous. The one during the campaign about never before feeling pride in her country was a real corker! It had to be a joke, right?
The FLOTUS more than ably demonstrated her ability to risibly entertain without betraying the slightest degree of irony at a Southern Cal fundraiser when she feigned concern for her overworked hubby’s work ethic. She described him as “tireless . . . [and] better prepared than the people briefing him,” which would seem to render any briefings superfluous, and then dropped her bombshell yuk when she said, “This man doesn’t take a day off.” (http://politi.co/jCSlnx)
Presuming “this man” referred to the POTUS, Mrs. O. should have had them rolling in the aisles at the thousand dollar a ticket Southern California Women for Obama event although, reportedly, no one laughed. Michelle’s humor is very subtle and the obtuse women may have missed her joke about a president who has vacationed more and golfed more in 27 months than any chief executive in American history.
Of course, we know that those were all working vacations to Chicago, Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii, America’s West and Southwest, Florida, etc. as were our globetrotting prez and the family’s $200 million passage to India, trips to China, Japan, England, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Latin America, et al. And who’s to say he didn’t discuss affairs of state on his 70+ golf outings?
“This man doesn’t take a day off.” Good one, Michelle!
It should be emphasized that Barack is no slouch . . .
