Michelle 'loves french fries, pizza,' president reveals on Leno show By Geneva Sands-Sadowitz - 10/26/11 09:54 AM ET
President Obama said his wife loves pizza and french fries during his appearance Tuesday night on Jay Leno's show.
Though the first lady has used her office to campaign against obesity and to tout healthy eating habits, she's OK with fattier foods in moderation, Obama said.
Obama made the remarks after Leno questioned whether the first lady would be upset with her husband's Monday visit to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, a famous soul-food restaurant in Hollywood.
"Michelle — quiet as this is kept — she loves french fries, she loves pizza, she loves chicken. Her point is just in moderation, so she does not get upset as long as, you know, it's not every day," Obama said.
He said he just couldn't resist the wings at Roscoe's, where he surprised patrons by making a brief stop.
"Originally it was just a way to be out there and say hi to everybody, but once we got in the car it smelled pretty good," said Obama on NBC's "The Tonight Show" Tuesday.
The president said he ordered the "Country Boy" special, which included wings and waffles with hot sauce.
"So, I'm eating the wings, got the hot sauce on there, you know, fancy presidential limousine smelling like chicken," added Obama.
The president was in California for campaign fundraisers and to promote his new housing initiative.
Obama told "The Tonight Show" host that he ate the food on his way to a fundraiser with celebrity guests including Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Suddenly we pull up and my sleeves are rolled up and I got a spot on my tie … it was not elegant, but outstanding chicken," Obama said.
It is interesting how he outs her all the time.
He did this before with “don’t get between Michelle and a (burrito/tamale?)”
Paula Dean was right.....
This story has legs.
Wonder if she likes Godfather’s pizza?
I don’t mind her eating. She knows what she’s doing.
But I mind her telling us what to eat while she’s not following her own advice. Again, she knows what she’s doing.
Yeah but she did it to him when she said he smelled bad in bed. I don’t think there is a lot of love between these two.
Is Iron Street Urban Farm growing peas?

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!
FReepmail maggief if you want on or off this ping list
Barky doesn’t want to get on the bad side of Paula Deen.
She has good eats to offer, Michelle, not so much. LOL
No stereo types here.
well, we know who’s going to be sleeping on the Oval Office couch for awhile...
“Her point is just in moderation, so she does not get upset as long as, you know, it’s not every day,”
breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and (later in the evening) supper
Wait a minute, let me get this straight...
Barry just said on national TV that Mooochelle likes pizza and french fries, the same Moooochelle that’s raging mad and ready to sue Paula Dean for lies and slander, because Paula just said in her recent book that Moooochelle likes to eat fried food.
Sounds like Barry’s sleeping on the couch tonight.
I just imagine both of them smelling — with the high amount of junk food (and just eating out in general) they shovel in incessantly. It’s just not a healthy lifestyle. I’m no purist or vegan, but all the photos I see of them gorging make me ill.
Beetlejuice!
Can you just imagine President Reagan or Bush, for that matter, gnawing on a bucket of wings in the back of the Presidential limo? This guy seriously doesn’t have an ounce of class or respect for the office.
“She didn’t get that huge azz 2 Axe handles wide eating carrot sticks.”
LOL Beagle!!!
“Michelle — quiet as this is kept — she loves french fries, she loves pizza, she loves chicken. Her point is just in moderation, so she does not get upset as long as, you know, it’s not every day,” Obama said.
I’m surprised he didn’t mention watermelon in that list. He is definitely going in the dog house for this one!

I think he does it to get under OUR skin. Obama has enough intelligence and insight to know the hypocrisy of his statements. It’s a dig to infuriate us - his base doesn’t care.
Even though the topic in this instance is something as benign as food, it’s still representative of his mindset and arrogance.
Bwaaa!
Seems like the Obamas are always either talking about food or cramming food into their craws.
