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.

Wow, just read the whole thing. Nothing new for me — though I’m a bit weirded by Obama parading his erection to photographers on the plane. Never saw that before. He seems to be looking down at it, then spreading his legs to display it a few times. Reporters snapping away. What kind of weirdo would do that?
With UGLY being the operative word.
“EXAMINER tabloids were full of claims of “divorce” rumors”...
as well as some woman who was rumored to have gotten pregnant by GW, that ultimately Larry Flint and some others never revealed. I think Gloria Alread was also sniffing around but never found anything substantial.
What would you expect from Bacrock? He’s a “rooster”sucker in probably a literal sense.
I think Michelle is getting tired of pretending to be Barry’s wife.
Zero looks rather .. gay .. in that wedding day photo.
Sounds like a Coke party.
This is why Oprah can't rent those horses from the nearby corral anymore.
Let’s see: Put together two narcissistic, lying, baby-killing, racist, angry, crooked race-hustlers, at least one of whom is a flaming homosexual—result: a happy marriage?
