First Lady Wins Ellen's TV Press-Up Challenge

Posted on 02/02/2012 3:34:19 PM PST by traumer

Michelle Obama has triumphed after accepting a press-up challenge from Ellen DeGeneres on the comic's TV talk show.

The 48-year-old easily completed 25 in front of a studio audience and millions of television viewers.

"I thought it wouldn't be good to show up the First Lady so I stopped," quipped DeGeneres after quitting. "I thought this looks bad that I'm going to beat her. I'm 54 and you're 48." Mrs Obama also revealed something about life with the US President behind the doors of the White House.

"He (Barack Obama) doesn't pick up his socks," she said in response to a question sent in from a viewer. "He thinks he's neat but he has people who help him," she told DeGeneres.

"I'm like, 'it's not you that's neat. It's the people who pick up your socks. Those are the neat people'," she said.

Mrs Obama has been in Los Angeles promoting her "Let's Move" campaign to combat childhood obesity in a series of TV appearances.

The little boy king has people to pick up his socks? This guy is garbage from the word go.

And for Moochelle’s face being on tv next to Ellen Degenerate’s face, boy , I’ll bet those pusses made trains take a dirt road.

I probably would be impressed if they had the lardasses in the audience and watching at home doing the 25 pushups.

She is the most undignified President’s wife ever.

I mean really, to b1tch about socks? Really? Is that what we really want to see a first lady do? Harp about little piddly crap?

Besides there’s huge other reasons to harp on him, and it has nothing to do with socks left on the floor. Her myopic perspective about the things that bug her about Barry is astounding.

Oh yeah he’s been great destroying the country economically and forcing people to buy a private product against their will, but what really gets me Ellen is him leaving his socks on the floor. That and not allowing me to travel more and eat lobster more often.

There is no excuse for him to leave his socks on the floor. He's just too damn lazy. I'd leave them there...right where he dropped them....and sleep elsewhere.

It took me one day to train my new hubby to put down the toilet seat. His mother couldn't do it in 23 years??

It seems every time Michelle is interviewed about Zero she says something critical. This time she tells America that he doesn't pick up his socks. Actually, so what? But the point is that this woman seems to take some satisfaction in pointing out his faults.

Once, during an interview, she mentioned that he had bad breath. There have been a couple of other times she told similarly critical tales about him, and I forget exactly, but recall thinking: This woman actually likes to make fun of her husband in public...not the sign of the "supposed" great marriage the media tells us about. Once there was a story that he liked to try on her clothes, but not sure if she said it or where that came from. And, of course, Obama himself admitted that he is lazy.

Now, many leaders have bad habits...and often those are exposed to the public. But I don't recall any leaders' wives finding fault with them and seeming to enjoy doing so as much or as often as Michelle does. I can imagine there are quite a few battles behind the closed doors of their rooms in the White House.

What the hell is a “press-up”? Is that a girl pushup, from the knees?

indeed.
This woman has been photographed showing panty lines, legs open a few times, bra straps, lack of grace, lack of style and yet the MSM still tells us how beautiful and stylish she is when we can actually see her.

If men can lift the seat then they should be able to put it back down.

It’s not hard!
