President and Mrs. Obama welcomed a big crowd to the White House for a Cinco de Mayo reception in the East Room. Hispanic politicians, Hispanic Americans serving in the Obama administration, and members of a commission on exploring the creating of a new national museum of the American Latino were among those in attendance.
"Welcome to the Cinco de Mayo at the White House," Obama told the enthusiastic crowd before promising he wouldnt speak too long.
"Nothing ruins a good fiesta like a long speech from a politician, so Im going to keep it short."
The first lady agreed that the president should be brief, "Keep it short," she said. The first lady wore a dark green dress that matched President Obamas green tie.
The president called Cinco de Mayo a chance to commemorate the shared heritage between Mexicans and Americans. "Its a day for remembering that America is a richer, stronger, more vibrant place thanks to the contributions of Mexican Americans to the life of this nation."
The crowd learned a little tidbit about the first lady, courtesy of her husband.
Said Obama: "I asked Michelle the other day, I said, Whats your favorite food -- because we were sitting around with the girls. She said, Ah, Mexican food."
The crowd loved the news.
"You do not want to be between Michelle and a tamale," joked the president.....

I believe today is the National Day of Prayer.
Yeah, he’s quite the joker and they’re quite a big joke.
I don't know, I don't think he's one to talk about someone else's propensity to pass gas after Mexican food
She’s going to blow! Don’t smoke around her, Barry!
Oh dear Lord, why did you curse us with these people. I know we've strayed far from the word, but Hussein and his tamale loving spouse are just too much...
The sickening pandering just never stops.
Wanna bet that she wouldn’t know that you need to remove the corn husk before eating?
Yes, yes indeed I hang on every printed word of what the royal imposter and his royal wookie are wearing.
I have nothing but disgust for our vapid media.
Jeebus. What a freaking jackass. Gas at $4+ dollars, and he’s making food jokes? Unbelievable.
She’s a Tamal Tiger?
Said Obama: "I asked Michelle the other day, I said, Whats your favorite food -- because we were sitting around with the girls. She said, Ah, Mexican food."
Oh, really, so that's why she's always ordering the soft taco and tamale combo plate instead of lobster and kobe beef.
Food jokes at Mooochele’s expense. Ever notice how often he makes fun of her...in public?
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrfffffffffff
i sure as hell don't...
They both have said some rather unseemly things about their spouses. In an interview before the election she said the girls thought he smelled bad. IIRC she said they thought “he was stinky in the morning when they came into the bedroom”. Then there were all those photos of him with flies. Hmmmm
Ah yes, the “He stinks” comment. The thing is, they do a helluva lot of this in public. Not loving jokes that some couples make, but rather crude and insulting comments.
