President Barack Obama, in an Iowa radio interview broadcast Wednesday, tried to set the record straight on his wife's ribbing of Gabby Douglas for eating McDonalds after her gold medal win.
First lady Michelle Obama teased the Olympian during an appearance on Jay Leno on Monday, but the president said Douglas was not her target.
"You know, the truth is the first lady was teasing Jay Leno, not Gabby, because Gabby can afford anything because shes so fit," Obama said in an interview

Jeeze, now the Obama campaign is wasting effort “walking-back” the First Lady’s throw away lines?! They are in deep doo-doo! Flailing!

Liar. The transcript I saw said Michelle used the name Gabby in the reply. From the AJC:
She admitted indulging in post-Olympics fast food to the wrong person: healthy eating advocate Mrs. Obama, who teased the champion.
"You're setting me back, Gabby," Obama told her.
She wasn’t teasing. She was acting like your average pathological narcissist, making everything all about her. And it wasn’t humorous; that was a false front.
She should come back to talk with Gabby when she shrinks the size of her ass to Gabby’s.
So says the metrosexual, -whipped husband of a fat-assed Wookie.
Just. Go. Away.

Her previous actions are precisely why her "joke" wasn't funny and why people are commenting on it. Without her previous actions her "light-hearted banter" would not have excited any interest. When you couple that with the absurdity of a super-sized Michelle lecturing an Olympic gold-medalist about proper diet... well, it's just too much.
