MOSCOW – Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.
But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

At least there will be playing of vodka for her “drinking needs”
Dayvare.
"Wow!" has more than one meaning ;^D
I can't wait for the Christmas tree skirt.
She’s only there for the Vodka....them’s drinkin’ duds!
That was worth posting twice ;<D
Or, as an old mentor of mine was fond of saying, “uglier than homemade lye soap.”

Most people don't remember this...there was a part of the Obama crowd pushing this hand signal that they could use at rallies, and to greet each other. They thought it was very clever, the "O" was obvious, for Obama, the interlocked fingers had to do with many coming together, and so on. They could do this above their heads, flash it to each other to let them know their allegiance, etc.
It was all well and good, until someone with a brain larger than a pea realized just how completely CREEPY it was, and it died quiet death after a few articles made it to the national level. If there was any doubt about how deranged these people are, check out this quote from the link below: "...Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity..."
You can still find the US News and World Report article on it here...they can't scrub EVERYTHING...
When I saw the poster, I immediately thought of the famous head in the rear poster, and made this little animated gif.
You are either brilliant or really need help... probably brilliant.

I’d put money on MO that she can take Putin best out of three falls!
And of all places to be...MOSCOW???
"Russia!? I ain't goin to no Russia you Dumbo-earred dummy, I'm goin to Michael's funeral. And you gonna have to stop with the middle finger or you can change your name from Messiah to Stumpy. Let's see you explain that one to Charles Gibson. Now gimme my shoes and let's get out of here. My damn belt is killing me."
