NEW DELHI: The First Lady loves Indian food, especially the mutton and daal she sampled at the Prime Minister's banquet on Sunday night. Her younger daughter, Sasha, wants to become a dancer and when this wife has a tiff with her husband, he has to make up first.
In an interaction with 17 school girls from rural areas of the country at the National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum, Michelle Obama spilled the beans on who calls the shots at home.
Awed by her presence at first, the girls stammered and stuttered but by the time the one-hour session was over, they were chattering away with their guest.
Eleven-year-old Apreet Buttar, a class VI student from Guru Harkrishan Public School in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, wanted to know more about the US. "I asked her if there is inequality among boys and girls in educational institutes in America. She said that there used to be disparity in some universities but now things had changed.'' Her classmate, Ankita Dhukia, wanted to know what Michelle Obama liked about her India trip. Indian food and meeting children was the answer.
"She waited till all the children had entered the museum and then came in. She spoke to all of us and asked our names,'' said Apreet. Manpreet Kaur and Ramanpreet Kaur, hailing from poor Dalit families in Qylajiwan Singh village in Amristar district, had written a poem in Punjabi for her. "Our poem was about spreading peace and harmony in the world,'' said aspiring doctor Ramanpreet. Manpreet wanted to know when Barack and Michelle would come to the Golden Temple, and the First Lady promised her "next time''.
At the end of the interaction organised by the American Embassy and NGOs like Nanhi Chhaan, Vidya and Nanhi Kali, the girls walked out with wide smiles, tightly clutching their new black shoulder bags with a portrait of the White House on it. The bags gifted to them by Michelle contained a White House puzzle, glue sticks, a small box of sweets with the presidential seal on it, markers and some pencil colours.
Most of the girls had come to Delhi for the first time. "Several of them are not even able to afford the minimal fees for a government school,'' explained Aditya Dayal of Nanhi Chhaan Foundation. Michelle had expressed special interest in meeting the girls — all aged between 10-13 — as her own daughters were the same age. Though many of them are able to speak only in their local languages, it did not deter them from communicating freely with the assistance of translators.
Barack Obama lives in the White House with his mother-in-law. We all knew this.
So he really is a little Pansie.
We need John Wayne and we got stuck with Liberace.
Frankly, I would prefer Liberace instead of the current occupant. At least Liberace could play piano!
The result of the sissification/feminization of America is Obama in the White House.
Also must factor in “plus boob belt minus sleeves”
We pretty much all knew this but it’s good to hear it from the horses mouth.
*snicker*
That's got to just irk the heck out of the Narcissist-In-Chief.
“It’s a European shoulder bag.” “It was a gift.”
Snicker ... "Reign of Terror"?! Only if you're a momma's boy.
Yes; I was thinking that there’d be no way this twink could win the presidency back in the days of John Wayne, Clark Gable, etc.
Sadly, the majority of “men” are feminine metrosexuals. (When the “NY Times” commercial comes on TV, I have to switch channels. Every one of those guys makes my flesh crawl.) We women don’t respect the new type of men, but it’s the women’s lib movement that really started it all.
She is worshipped over there....like most cows.

What—did somebody forget the condoms?
HEHE LOL
Yep! We ALL know that THAT means... LMAO
Canadian Prime Minister Harper can play piano. Great at parties I hear.
so glad I had swallowed my drink before I read that! LMAO PRICELESS!
John Wayne was a cross dresser
That seems to be one of his favorite moves.
Yea... well at least John Wayne knew which end of a gun to pull a trigger on...
