Michelle Obama lets loose with Missy Elliott, James Corden on 'Carpool Karaoke' (barf alert)
Statesman (D.C.) ^ | 7/22/2016 | Douglas Barclay

During an early summer visit to Washington, D.C., comedian James Corden brought his "Carpool Karaoke" segment to the White House with First Lady Michelle Obama.

In contrast to Corden's usual guests, such as Adele and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Obama didn't have an album to promote and didn't have any songs of her own to sing.

Instead, she joined Corden on a pleasant (and heavily guarded) tour through Washington. The two discussed life in the White House and sang along to some of the first lady's favorite tunes.

"James Corden's White House tour takes an unthinkable turn when First Lady Michelle Obama joins him for a drive around the grounds singing Stevie Wonder and Beyonce," CBS captioned the video. "Surprise guest Missy Elliott drops in to sing 'This Is For My Girls.'"

"Whatcha got?" Obama asked Corden when she got in the car.

The first song the two belted out was a cover of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," a song the first lady said is among her top favorites.

Obama revealed that filming the segment was just the second time in 7 1/2 years that she sat in the passenger seat of a car, the other time being when one of her daughters took a drivers ed course.

"I'm going to miss the people … they help you … they love you, to walk away from people you see every single day, that's going to be hard," Obama said of her time in the White House.

One of the highlights of the special was the duo's spirited performance of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce.

"We were making honey to put in our lemonade," Obama said with a smile when the two finished their ride. As they drove around the White House service roads, Corden's car was trailed by Secret Service agents.

Oh, my, that was horrible. But you did warn me. I watched about 1/3 of it.

Snowshoe hares change color with the season.

How about Wookies?

For all the hand wringing, the Public eats this stuff up.

Mochelle is one of us, just like Joe Biden driving a Corvette around the VP Residence on the Velocity Channel.

While I am no fan, this is just entertainment for Liberals to portray the illusion that the Obama’s are just like them.

They cry, they bleed, they sing and they treat the Constitution like Toilet Paper.

Actually...that might be true with hares....I suspect that isn’t the case in this particular situation. My whole line of thought is chemical. Undoubtedly.
