Michelle Obama's Gripe: President's Tennis Game

October 23, 2009

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -- What's President Barack Obama's most annoying habit? It's not practicing his speeches for hours in front of the bathroom mirror or talking too much foreign policy at the dinner table?

No -- first lady Michelle Obama said Friday it's his tennis game. When they play, the president usually wins.

''He beats me quite often,'' she said on NBC-TV's ''The Jay Leno Show,'' appearing via satellite hookup from the White House. ''That gets to be pretty annoying.''

The show was taped for airing later Friday evening.

In a brief skit, Leno pushed her to talk about her husband's flaws. At first, she sarcastically said he has none.

''He's perfect,'' she quipped.

Then she let it out: It's their battles on the tennis court that get her peeved.

It also looks like Bo -- the Obamas' dog -- is living like a king. The first lady said the presidential pooch celebrated his first birthday earlier this month with a Rose Garden party.

Bo, a Portuguese water dog, feasted on a cake shaped like a dog house that was made out of veal.

''We had a really sweet celebration,'' the first lady told Leno. ''We had party hats.''

The first lady told Leno there are White House secrets she will never reveal -- she refused to divulge what daughters Malia and Sasha are wearing for Halloween.

''You need security clearance for that,'' she said.

Leno also wanted to know what she whispers to her husband after his speeches.

''I usually ask him, did he take out the garbage?'' she said.

I won't touch the "garbage" comment.

If she's tired of zero beating her at tennis then maybe they should stop playing it and maybe then zero could get some work done. The chair in the Oval Office is growing cobwebs.

Truly, this family acts as if Pres_enting is all fun and games. They should be in Hollywood instead of D.C..

Man, this hard hitting, cutting edge ,two fisted, no- holds -barred investigative journalism from AP and the rest of the MSM is simply relentless.
It’s great to have these fearless watchdogs of democracy keeping their adversarial edge.
(For the curious,this is industrial strength sarcasm.)
