Is this what Michelle Obama looks like untethered to the pressure of a campaign? Is she free to follow her whims without worries about political backlash?
The first lady became the buzz of the weekend when she beamed into the Academy Awards from the White House to present the award for best picture with Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson. Attendees and viewers were flabbergasted at the satellite image of the elegantly dressed Obama, flanked by young service members in full regalia, opening the envelope to name Ben Afflecks Argo the winner.
It just seem[ed] so natural because the whole thing is so unnatural, Affleck told reporters after the show right after he said he thought he was hallucinating.
In other words: Whats the first lady doing at the Oscars?
Apparently, having fun.
As a movie lover, she was honored to present the award and celebrate the artists who inspire us all especially our young people, Kristina Schake, the first ladys communications director, said in a statement.
But the notion that Obama made the virtual appearance for the pure pleasure of it created confusion among both fans and detractors. Was she toying with Hollywood stardom for its own sake? And if she were, was that okay? In Washington, stardom can seem frivolous.
The only thing that was missing was seeing her walk down the red carpet, said Anita McBride, who served as chief of staff to first lady Laura Bush...

It should also raise questions about fawning lapdog media conglomerates that constantly keep cramming these boors down our throats.
Since I boycott Hollywood and the media it is hard for me to comment. But Rush compared the Michele appearance to the Apple 1984 ad.
All very typical behavior of dictators (Evita Peron y Juan?)
Before the Oscars, all the buzz was about whether the Argo folks would give any credit to the Canadian Ambassador if they won. ow that MO presented the award, every body seems to have forgotten the Canadians.
Michelle began her performance with politically correct comments that are straight from The Narrative. That, plus the use of our military as background props, indicate Michelle is still in never-ending campaign mode.
No class is no class.
She is an Emelda Marcos.
No class.
I remember the show but I forgot the date. I absolutely remember that reciting "Sock it to me. Sock it to me . . . ." on the Laugh In show led to being doused with water or otherwise assaulted.
Nixon was hated as much as Obama is loved by that Hollywood crowd. I thought it was stupid for Nixon to let himself be subjected to that humiliation; though he was not assaulted.
The date of Nixon's appearance and the description of his appearance are both from Wiki graffiti.
"During the September 16, 1968 episode, Richard Nixon, running for president, appeared for a few seconds with a disbelieving vocal inflection, asking "Sock it to me?" Nixon was not doused or assaulted."
Note that it was before Nixon was president.. Humphrey refused to appear. Absolutely Humphrey would have been treated with respect and admiration if he had appeared on the show. That would have been OK by me.. Humphrey was a real Democratic Party man and not anything like today's Rat Party people.
I could care less that she made an appearance however - I do care deeply that the military was used like props on a movie set for her - who the hell approved that?
I did a little poking around and found the cost of Michelle Obama’s Oscar dress. It was designed by Naeem Khan and has an estimated price tag of $8,990.
Does the taxpayer pay for her dresses or are they donated?
Who approved that? Michelle and Valerie run this country!
Yes.
the illusion is almost complete. Many Americans already can’t tell the difference between our leaders and mere entertainers; they both appear on that screen in the living room.
Actually, Michelle interjected race into the presentation, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Academy Awards. Hollywood IS NOT government owned, (albeit controlled) but they made it political. Her appearance was nothing but a big FU to the 49% of the people who did not vote for Obama. Hollywood shoved it down our throats and anyone who gives those freaks their money deserves them.

Sorry for the twins
Disgusting yes.
Par for the course? Yes.
Her husband thinks he’s a rock star after all.

Nope.
