With invitations warning guests to ‘EBYC’ — Eat Before You Come — and rumours they’ll be dancing to star turns from Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z, it won’t be your usual White House knees-up.
Michelle Obama was 50 yesterday and President Barack Obama will be feting his redoubtable First Lady tonight with a party that will give them the chance to let their hair down and forget their troubles for a few hours.
The email inviting guests to the ‘snacks & sips & dancing & dessert’ advised them to wear comfortable shoes and practise their dance moves.
Purse-lipped Washington etiquette experts have tutted at the informality of it all, but the Obamas have always been keen to appear accessible, even if the stand-offish reality is somewhat different.
The Obamas are the world’s most scrutinised couple at the best of times, but it will be rare to find a guest at the bash who won’t be secretly watching them with particular interest.
After all, the last time they were pictured together — at Nelson Mandela’s memorial — the First Lady was looking none too pleased as the her husband posed for a ‘selfie’ photograph with the leggy blonde Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
Indeed, if the U.S. tabloids are to be believed, the relationship of Washington’s golden couple is facing problems that go far beyond dirty looks.
Under the headline Obama Divorce Bombshell!, the National Enquirer claims their 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that were prompted by the Mandela memorial incident and — far more outrageously — Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.
It’s an allegation the White House has declined to comment on, though after Bill Clinton’s trouser-dropping scandals, Americans would be rather...

This is the Daily Mail's take on the National Enquirer story about trouble in paradise reported last week. There are additional details reported here, plus dots connected to other reports, such as effect on Hillary's political ambitions.
FTA: As for the First Lady, she plans to show she’s young at heart tonight by doing the Dougie, a hip-hop dance popular with cool American teenagers.
Whether she’ll feel the urge to slow dance with the President remains to be seen.
Can anyone in their right mind imagine being married/intimate with either one of them?
Personally, I think it is a sideshow and a trap. They want to make their own I Love Lucy episode and distract us from the train wreck.
Reggie?
If they split, he can always “marry” a boyfriend!
If they divorce after he leaves office, does she still get USSS protection?
If you have not seen this “President Psycho” photo bio of Obama, it’s really excellent.
No doubt Michelle is just Obama’s “beard” in an arranged political marriage.

Well lt sure ain’t a woman.
The Clintons have been on the verge since about 1994 and they are still married.
Rumors of problems with the Obama marriage have been going on for 5 years.
Elvis continues to be spotted at convenience stores throughout the world.
Marilyn, JFK, Elvis. Those used to be the ‘slow news day’ topics. Then, the Clintons got added in.
Tabloid fodder.

In 2009, veteran Washington reporter Richard Wolffe claimed that the marriage almost collapsed nine years earlier because of Obama’s political drive and the family’s shattered finances.
Why did she discontinue divorce proceedings? Because Rev. Wright and Jesse Jackson both promised her that if she stuck it out with Barry she would have no money worries anymore.
So, she's in it for the money...especially the million dollar vacays to every exotic location where Air Force One can fly.
Same with W and Laura. Still together last I heard.
Well, he’s gay.
This is a quibble, but I have a female relative who was named for her father. It is one of those unisex names, like Leslie (it’s not actually Leslie). I will admit, Stanley is a pretty bad name for a girl. He should have given it to her as a middle name, that would have been much better.
Is either one of those “people” lovable in any way at all?
No.

I hope someone puts Ex-lax into the dessert.
