After hearing about this I kind of feel sorry for Michelle Obama. Imagine being married to such a buffoon? While pandering to the LGBT crowd President Obama dropped this line:
“Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well,” he said, after saying that she’s taken some criticism on her technique “because she doesn’t go all the way down” – a line that he let hang, naughtily, provoking laughter from the crowd.
Buzz Feed has the full quote, which doesn’t really clear things up.
Jimmie B gives him the benefit of the doubt (while pointing out that he cracked this joke on the anniversary of D-Day, a day he commemorated with a single tweet):
Okay, now I want to be fair here. President Obama probably didn’t mean to make an oral sex joke at the expense of his own wife. It is most likely that he fumble-tongued (no pun intended) his way through the comment and paused because, well, he knew he had just said something truly stupid. On the other hand, we have been told more times than there are starts in the sky that Barack Obama is a master orator, a speaker without peer in modern politics, a man who handles the spoken word like Paganini handled the violin. If that is true, then it’s reasonable for us to assume that he meant to deliver that crude remark about his own wife before an audience he was absolutely sure would get the joke.

Well, you cannot expect much more than this sort of crudity when he speaks off the cuff.
It took the Germanic and other northern tribes over 1,000 years to become civilized after having been exposed to the Roman empire with all it’s Grecian influences.
Obama may have been successfully trained to be a “master orator” and able to knot his own tie, but his heritage and culture is still straight off the plains of Africa, where they have been exposed to civilization for only a couple hundred years. You cannot change a native culture in that short a period.
In my view, Obama and his wife are barely civilized African barbarians that gives them a different culture, lifestyle and outlook on everything. The African existence still runs hot in their blood.
They are a poor choice to keep the lights of civilization burning. They will not warn us of the barbarians at the gate, they ARE the barbarians.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Or, Bob, since I disagree that it has anything to do with being half black (and I do not share your view on black citizens)—maybe it’s because he’s a MAN…? I could certainly view it that way, as a woman…imagine NOW if this fell out of Limbaugh’s mouth…
This has nothing to do with his half-African hetigage. This has to do with being UNbrilliant, UNpolished, UNclassy and UNappreciative of the title “President of the United States”. Boys in the neighborhood say these kinds of things.

Yikes – I kind of stumbled on to this site looking for Obama’s quote – and it is still hard to believe that there are so many ignorant, racist people out there. I know, I know, we all know what facist nuts the tea partiers are, but to read drivel like these responses makes me wonder if the Republican party will ever rebound to the classy organization that it once was. This is really scary to think that there are people who still think this way. Obozo? barely civilized African barbarians?
You all should be totally ashamed of yourselves, grow up, watch another show besides “Faux News” – it’s not the economy that has torn down this country – it’s wicked, negative, uninformed, racist people like you.

This is the president of the USA who has repeatedly made major gaffes in diplomatic events, still mispronounces ‘corpsman’, and proves that only his own need to be thought ‘cool’ matters: even to making a nasty double meaning remark with his own wife in the subject. THIS is who America unfortunately elected once… and can un-elect.

The media’s claiming Obama was ‘blindsided’ by his own teleprompter (!), and the audience ‘completely misunderstood’ the President’s remarks. I doubt the audience misunderstood Obama’s remarks; they’re Democrats, they know a sexual remark when they hear one.

…and what does it say about the crowd that they laughed out loud? If they thought it was legitimately unintended double entendre, would they not perhaps raise eyebrows and hide smiles behind knapkins rather than guffawing with “the coolest gay president ever”? Shows you what they think of the man and the office, too.
He doesn’t get a pass. He’s the President. You’re supposed to be able to think that fast. He just forgot he wasn’t Barry from the ‘hood anymore, hanging with friends…to whom, apparently, he would disrespect his wife for a laugh.
Romney campaign needs to play that on an endless loop.

Wow, he makes a slip or a joke, not sure which and dont really care but you get some racist jerk posting reallt offensive stuff and dont really say a thing. Bob, you truely are a ignorant racist jerk. People like you are a plague on society and need to do the world a favor and jump off a cliff. I am not for Obama, but labeling all people of African decent as a lower form of a human is appalling. You can hate the president, but you cant hate a whole race of people you dont even know. What makes us, white people, better than blacks? Are you part of one of those white only, hate all others clubs?

In the past week or so we’ve seen former President Clinton in a photo where he is smiling and standing between two adult film performers, and now we’ve got President Obama’s unpresidential remark. I am not sure Obama meant his joke as a sex joke, but he is still low-class. Our 2 most recent Democrat presidents have disrespected their wives and they are oblivious to it or just don’t care.
Try not to think of the intimacy that may or may not go on in the Obama bedroom. Do you really want to know if Mrs. Obama does that?
