(full article title: "Exclusive: Obama aide reveals how the groupie president fawned over celebs, was steamed when a high school coach called his wife 'fat-butt Michelle' and favored extra tight sweatpants and white socks with sandals")

Like the Kennedys, the Obamas often rubbed elbows with celebrities who loved to visit what came to be known as 'Hollywood East' during the president's eight-year term.

Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, and Leonardo DiCaprio were among many stars who came to the White House to hang out with the 'cool' president.(snip)

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld came to do a segment of his show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, with Obama and the two drove on White House grounds in a 'killer' 1963 Corvette Stingray in silver blue. Seinfeld told Obama he was the coolest guy ever to hold this office.(snip)

Writer Pat Cunnane signed on as a White House press staffer in February 2011 and stepped inside the presidential bubble of the world's biggest superstar.

With the frequently visiting stars, Cunnane coined the phrase, 'Got that sun in your eyes,' which means '"behaving different due to proximity to someone or something deemed cool," something that happened more than I could have imagined', he writes in his upcoming book, West Winging It: An Un-presidential Memoir, published by Gallery Books.

(snip)

He even reveals how on his first day, he accidentally slammed the door on Vice President Joe Biden's face.

(snip)

the president was furious when the Washington Post Style section ran a story titled 'Michelle Obama's Posterior Again the Subject of a Public Rant'.

'Totally disrespectful', Obama steamed.

A high school football coach in Alabama had been secretly recorded saying, 'Fat butt Michelle Obama.'

President Trump has one of the many military musical groups play at White House events. This keeps the focus on the event and not on the celebrity. I like it.

You’re right
In his home country, white socks with sandals is considered quite stylish

The poor author of this article for product placement was just given the highlight snippets that the author thought would make good media fodder. I wonder how much the publisher paid the Daily Mail?

“”Only foreigners wear white socks with sandals.””

Don’t be too sure of that. My husband who is elderly and sick is unable to wear normal shoes - wears sandals and he wouldn’t dream of going without socks.

I am always impressed with anyone having to do anything the Entertainment Industry! (Do Is really need a sarcasm tag???) Most actors were barely able to graduate from high school. Their political opinions are worth zero to me.

“”when a high school coach called his wife ‘fat-butt Michelle’ and favored extra tight sweatpants and white socks with sandals””

Who wore the extra tight sweatpants - obozo or his wife? Must be his wife as I never saw pictures of him in them and really, I never saw a picture of her wearing sandals and socks.

Deep State puppet Obama never exercised any real power - for him the gig was just a chance to meet better celebrities.

The “Uppity N..ro” wanted to be a rock star living in a phony world. Those he, and the Mooooooooch rubbed elbows with are just as phony as he is.

Oh! By the way, she (the Moooooch) does have a fat ass.

I would suspect that the majority of them are elderly and sometimes it’s just more convenient...My husband can’t put his normal shoes on and he has to recline in his chair with his feet elevated for me to do it because I can’t bend over to do much of anything. Sandals aren’t as difficult to put on. A sad pair of old folks!!
