I have no idea whether any of this was true. It's the National Enquirer- so all caveats, of course. But it seems plausible- and they were right about John Edwards- so who knows?

Two questions:

1). Obama recently had his birthday bash with Oprah and her friend Gayle King (mentioned in the article) in attendance. This obviously was an important "can't miss" event, and his homecoming events are expected to raise 2.5 million dollars for Illinois Dems. If this article has some truth to it- and remember, POTUS caused a bit of stir when he mentioned that Michelle doesn't watch Oprah, only the View- and there is anomisty between the two, do you think Michelle jetted off to Spain- abandoning her husband on his birthday (a really bizarre thing to do) simply to avoid being at this event with Oprah and her pals, and causing a big public spat?

2). The juicier question: Just a few months ago, the same National Enquirer broke a story about an alleged videotape showing Vera Baker in a clandestine meeting with Obama. Some dismissed the story and said there was no tape; others said that there was, but blamed "right-wingers" trying to bring down the president. Just a few months after the Enquirer story broke though, First Lady grabbed the kids and bolted for Spain, refusing to celebrate POTUS' big 49th with him. Many were left scratching their heads, "Why?", and there was no real explanation from anybody involved. Robert Gibbs was recently asked a question that seemed to suggest marital strife, and said only that the couple would be together again "soon".

So was this whole thing merely a "cooling off" period related to the daily stress of the highest office (and a 41% approval rating), and a desire of the First Lady to just get away from the WH for awhile and have a good time... Or, is something more going on here?

Enquiring minds want to know...

Oprah hasn’t yet figured out that she outlived her usefulness to Hussein in November 2008.

If O wanted to interview Michelle why did she feel the need to bring an entourage?

[Vaquero]

...stay away from my husband, you fish eyed fool...you snaggle tooth jackass...

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Well...we all know Michelle is a racist.

Anyone notice how so many people never seem to reach maturity these days? If this story is true, no grand lady lives in the White House these days.

Personally,
I’d like to see Oprey and Michelle get into a knife fight in the White House.

[traumer]

Oprah’s plastic surgeries need some work....

[presently no screen name]

Yeah, sure - that’s why Oprah was invited on the Copenhagen trip for pleading for the Olympics.

[nagdt]

Oh Fo Shizzle, Oprah is not welcome in the White Hizzle.

[missnry]

We tried to warn you Oprah!! The signs were all there!

the usurper sure has poor taste in women. Not very good taste in men either, not with barney frank always hanging around.

[paulycy]

Forget those two. I know whose star is ascending.

Never piss off a wookie.

Here’s a video of the two of them. I can’t tell at the end if it’s another scowl, or if it’s just a blurry video:

Narcissistic, immature, cowardly husband + Antagonistic, jealous, uncouth wife = DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY. That is what we have in the White House. And these people are supposed to represent America? They have lowered all the standards and I just bet the arguments and low-class behavior reeks in the halls at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I never thought it was a loving marriage, despite all the liberal media's attempts to convince Americans it was so ideal. There is no love between two people like the Obamas...only the pretense of some affection, and that is clearly easy to see through. The only thing that is transparent with this couple is this facade of a good marriage. I think that is why they take advantage of all the perks they can, and do so much traveling and high living. I believe Michelle demands she and the girls have a good time, while they are serving out their sentence being with Barack there in Washington. Remember her email about the birthday card...her words were strange...something about "she and the girls will be at his side another year..." or something like that. It was as though she were telling him they would stick around for a while longer. Why?

And I think Michelle dresses as vulgar and unkempt as she does just to try and embarrass Barack and make him (and those around him who she does not like and will not "obey") uncomfortable. There is certainly some feud between them.

Maybe Michelle’s whole anti-fatty thing is an elaborate dig at Oprah.

[TexasCajun]

Under the bus went Hillary supporters Charles Rangel & Maxine Waters and now the dissing of The Opera.

It's gonna be a long hot summer in the White House !

...her husband would huddle with Oprah over strategy and jump when she called.

If true this is amazing in its farcicality.
To be a fly on that wall! These two idiots actually discussing strategic tactics.
