First lady Michelle Obama visited Nelson Mandela on the first day of her trip to South Africa today and told one greeter that her husband was "pouty" that he couldn't come along.
The first lady's weeklong trip to South Africa and Botswana began with a meeting with one of the three wives of South African President Jacob Zuma. During her stop at the president's official residence in Pretoria she was greeted by Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma.
Nic Dawes, the editor of South Africa's Mail and Guardian newspaper, tweeted that he shook the first lady's hand and wrote: "Michelle Obama certainly convinced the dignitaries she is excited to be here, and said her husband is 'pouty' that he isn't."

It was Mrs. Obama's first meeting with the prisoner-turned-president.
The white guy is sooo hated by that bunch, he has no idea. He looks like a typical placating, suck up liberal. They just want the honkey to shut up so they can sit down and rest their “dogs”.
These are the most miserably unhappy and dissatisfied people on earth.
I’ll just bet she (and many others) use that “pouty” word a lot when talking about 0bama.
Oh for crying out loud! What made her think this pose is acceptable for a first lady? I can’t wait until we have a first lady who understands the role she plays for us when visiting other countries. Could you see Laura Bush stretched out like that or any other first lady we have had?
There’s a time and a place for such antics and MB can’t discern either.

LOL!
She looks like an out of shape line backer in post 41...............good grief.
Thanks for the ping.
My disgust over this pair goes off the scale whenever they visit another country. No class hardly says enough. Neither Bo or MB has a clue and obvious don’t care to.
What was she thinking? That is so inappropriate.
Very good. LOL
That thigh shot is an official picture provided by the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
Unbelievable.
Remember when she said he was ‘smelly’ also?
Maybe that’s why flys are attracted to him.
Standing watch? Looks to me like they are just hanging out.
It really is unbelievable.

Yeah, can you see Laura stretched out like that with one of her daughters sprawled out across her lap??
And look at those elephant legs!!
These people are such a stain on American history.
