(16,954 posts)When I first saw the link to it on Yahoo and watched it, that's what I got too is that she was responding to what the two of them were talking about and she was taking bites and couldn't comment right at that moment. She is pure class, and I hope the media doesn't run with this and insert comments on a day where she is just absolutely stunning and a shining example of class and strength.

(24,544 posts)Whatever the idiot said, even the president appears to consider it the end of the conversation even though he does it with a smile.
She could not be sending out more "damn, I really can't stand you" vibes if she was trying. I love her. Michelle is my girl.

(9,298 posts)for Mrs. Obama to be seated next to that horse's patooty. Wonder how that came about...protocol? Boehner's wife doesn't look as though she's having much fun either.

Boehner was acting in a disgusting, disrespectful manner. Boehner -- ughh. Boehner is just an ughh. Uncouth. Discourteous. Bad mannered. That's Boehner. And if you see the entire video, you realize just how crude he is.

(57,936 posts)away from him. That is what caused her to roll her eyes and look down at her plate. I've reacted like that to aggressive men in situations when I had to be polite.
Everybody is talking about her rolling her eyes. The real story is about how crude and impolite, maybe even mean, Boehner was.

(24,229 posts)That's one of the reasons I love Michelle. There is no stick up her ass. lols.
... Hope she doesn't have indigestion! I would give my lleft hand to know what it was he said!
Hope she didn't feel worse than I did a few years ago when I learned that Mitch McConnell was speaking at my son's college graduation. I cried for 3 solid days! A quarter of the Senior Class boycotted their own graduations... their hats were laying in their seats in one section all together. It was a sight to see.
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)If you see the first part of the video, you will see that Boehner punched Michelle Obama in the arm. She recoiled and moved away from him. In this second video, she pulls her arm toward her plate. Only after that does she roll her eyes. This video is incomplete and therefore misleading.
ReRe
(10,597 posts)I actually think orange man was having a conversation with PO behind Michelle's back. And he said something "he" thought was funny to PO and then he punched Michelle's arm? I've been in the same predicament before as I mentioned, or happened to be stuck in seating arrangements that weren't exactly comfortable. I think the seating arrangement for Michelle was the only glitch that I seen yesterday. There should have been no one in front of the little podium.

(62,683 posts)I was referencing your jab at peoples' post counts.
You had fewer than 100 posts at one time, remember?
If you want to disagree, disagree -- don't dismiss someone's comment citing their post count as proof you're right. It's petty and small.

(62,683 posts)valuable and that I agree with. I realize even though I find exception with this post, I'd doubtless benefit from much you have to contribute.
I can have disagreements and carry on. I don't need to go stomping out the door and slam it behind me.

(502 posts)Boehner's attempt to impress the President and First Lady with his easy-breezy command of modern-day African-American colloquialisms falls flat.
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)(How's that for an example of Republican class????)
She recoiled, pulled her arm away from him to protect herself. The rolling of her eyes came after that. I'm sure she was mortified. I'm sure none of the wives or female members of Congress will want to sit near Boehner at any function after that. How crude of him. Watch the full video. It is appalling.

(869 posts)(a) No matter what you think of Bonehead, this would be politically an embarrassment and rudeness if this really was what was happening in public, and I am pretty sure that Michelle is now experienced enough in her role as first lady to not let such a gaffe happen (don't get me wrong, I called him Bonehead!),
(b) He could have been making a comment about something he thinks is ridiculous, and SHE AGREES, rolling her eyes.
This thing could never be presented in a court of law, because you don't actually hear the conversation!
Sorry to be a spoiler...
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)She recoils, pulls away from him to prevent him from doing it again and then rolls her eyes.
It's Boehner who was the aggressor. Technically, Boehner may have committed a civil assault. You just don't hit the arm of the First Lady. It was totally out of place on Boehner's part. No wonder his wife looks away in humiliation.
