London 2012 Olympics: Are you watching Mitt? Michelle Obama gives a fun masterclass in diplomacy

[redqueen]

1. Ha!

Not the toughest competition Michelle's ever faced, I'm sure, but still.

[Amonester]

2. Love Michelle :)

vs

Loathe Mitt the Twit.

[nolabear]

3. Michelle, ma belle...

Don't you wish McCartney would work that into the Opening Ceremonies? Of course for Romney he could do Fool on the Hill. Mr. Taxman? Get Back (to Where You Once Belonged)?

[thelordofhell]

18. He's already performed it for her.........

&feature=related

[calimary]

9. We know what must be behind rMoney. Her Ladyship ann of dressage.

Who's the most arrogant, smug, snooty excuse for a candidate's wife that I have EVER seen. And I'm gonna be 60 years old next year. Jackie Kennedy and Teresa Heinz Kerry weren't like that! And they were both loaded with money and good breeding and class.

Hell, I never even saw laura bush be like that. Pat Nixon certainly wasn't (she of the "good republi-CON cloth coat&quot !

ann romney is OBNOXIOUS, SMUG, SNOOTY, and ARROGANT AS HELL!!!!

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. For some reason

Your comment makes me wonder if Lovey Romney wears fur.

Michele, though! Damn. She's a hard beatin' for anyone in a popularity contest. Thurston and Lovey were outclassed from the get go.

Go, Michele!

[HopeHoops]

5. "Yo, Mittens. You've NEVER had a chance at anyone as hot as me. Quit giving me those eyes."

[Wait Wut]

6. Funny...

...if the election were to be held in England, Michelle would beat Romney for President.

Actually, I think Seamus would beat Romney.

Edit: I need a new keyboard.

[struggle4progress]

7. uh ... ewww! Romney in London! uh ... ewww! Romney in London!

[Vinca]

8. Love, love, love the FLOTUS.

[lindysalsagal]

10. Bets on the adjectives that faux snooze will use for FLOTUS tonight:

"Unladylike"? "Campaign gimmick"? :Unrestrained"?

Someone with a stronger stomach than me please let us know....

She's real, and people like that. She's like us, way way way more than anyone with money in the cayman islands will ever be.

[progressoid]

11. Michelle FTW!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. The difference between being able to think on your feet and

and trying to speak around your feet (as they are in your mouth).

[amuse bouche]

13. He's such

a stiff. I read the P.M was absolutely irritated with the fool

Even the conservative Tories want nothing to do with him.

Hey Mittwit...Mission Accomplished?

[NewJeffCT]

15. maybe McCain was right that Palin was better?

just saying

[tinrobot]

16. Oh, snap!

[ohgeewhiz]

19. Personally, I would prefer Palin to Romney as ...

an opponent for Obama. But Mitt is learning to be stupid pretty fast.

[tclambert]

17. Like Jackie Kennedy in France.

Oh, you're probably all too young to remember that. She spoke fluent French. They adored her so much, President Kennedy later introduced himself thus: "I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it."

[dipsydoodle]

20. Yes

A whole world of difference.

[mountain grammy]

21. Beautiful Michelle

good answer to the American idiot!

[veganlush]

22. I really like that picture

of Michelle.

[pinto]

23. ...

[99th_Monkey]

24. This is so entirely too rich for words ..

... that I won't even try.

[nolabear]

25. Hey, I just got this from Keith Olbermann's FB Fan Page!

And yes, the DU credit is on the photo. Somebody's paying attention...

[Siwsan]

26. Even the Daily Mail has been singing her praises - and they're usually the first to criticize her

Before this, no matter WHAT she did, they were there with a slam. Now, they can't be more giddy. Could this be the 'Willard' effect?

[2pooped2pop]

27. Is the word Play ed photo shopped behind Michelle?

Mitts been played.

I know it doesn't say played behind her, but it does now.

[Bossy Monkey]

28. I'm not sure the Herman Munster look is really working for him...

Too bad it isn't Gomez Addams; The Romney Family even fits the meter of the theme song. Also the words: creepy, kooky, altogether ooky!

[SpankMe]

29. R-money is an idiot. A classless, tasteless loser.

But, that agent of Satan still runs neck and neck with Obama. He still could win, you know.

Also, if a Democratic presidential candidate went to Europe during a high profile event (i.e., the Olympics) and politicked a little during a US presidential election, the Repubs would be all over it. "Why is (s)he campaigning over there among those Euro-gay socialist liberals? What could they have to with *our* election over here? (S)he should be campaigning right here in Amerika. This just goes to show you how the libs are cozying up to those anti-American Euro-tards and trying to destroy Amerika."

Maybe we should be busting their chops a little for taking an American presidential campaign to Europe.

[Historic NY]

30. Heard Mitt took the gold in "dudmanship".

[xxenderwigginxx]

31. Does this sort of dialogue not

come across to anyone as a little juvenile? Like the cool in-crowd kid vs the nerd. We need to win elections on substance and not theatrics and appearance. Not being liked in Europe will be a resume enhancer in some peoples minds.

[Kencorburn]

32. There is a smell in the air.

Besides the fact that this is thread is just moderately based on substance, your seemingly sincere concern for the timbre of the conversation kind of rang false. You need to be better at hiding your tells.

[Historic NY]

34. Well its either burnt pizza or Rafalca and I'm going with the horse-s--t.

[Kencorburn]

33. But in response to your question..

Though the dialog may appear juvenile to you, it does reveal how a potential commander-in-chief, and his surrogates handle the responsibilities of foreign affairs and diplomacy. The mechanics of which may appear banal on the surface, but the ability to navigate the subtleties of the disparate cultures of the world is imperative.

[dionysus]

35. do enjoy your stay at DU..and don't steal the towels please.
