Michelle Obama surprises Oscars by presenting Best Picture award

I don't watch award shows as I think they represent a big circle jerk.
 
Meh. The "Tax payer dime" thing is retarded as well....that's it, the first family should stay quarentined in the White House at all times or it's wasting Tax Payer dollars. Because that standard has EVER been viewed as reasonable before.

Not when you trot out firemen and teachers and make a speech about how all these services everywhere will end, if we cut $85B out of a $3500B budget.
 
First you tell us that you don't care, then you go on to tell us how you like it, and you know damn well it cost taxpayers to send her there. And lastly it's none of your business then right? :roll:

How much do you think it cost the taxpayers for Michelle to walk down the hall in the White House for the filming?


I don't know what is worst, pathetic partisan snipping as this thread or the fact that some of you sat and watched the 4 hour Oscars.

I hope after their last term in the White House that Michelle gets on DWTS just to put everyone's panties in a wad.......lol

Well some of the other ones can be funny.....cuz they can drink at those awards and be bombed off their azzes. But not the Oscars. Prime and Proper plus political statements to go along with it.
 
Holy crap. They must have spent millions flying Laura Bush and her two daughters to NYC along with a squadron of secret servicemen. Oh my god.
Nah. It was by satellite too. Plymouth Satellite. They used Bush 41's car.
 
Ahh the fake outrage... where was the outrage from the right when this happened?

No it was billions and 45000 non Americans had to be sacrificed at the alter of stupidity!!
 
I had fake outrage over that too. Had to take a fake pill just to calm myself down.

No need to take fake pills.....we have Chill Pills.

As long as she doesn't show up in one of those designer bagworm outfits she sometimes wears, I can take it.

Attention whoring at its finest. Pathetically low class, turning the White House into an extension of Hollywood.

And I'm sure that you felt the same way about Laura Bush on the Oscars....Ronald Reagan on the Oscars...oh yeah....and GWB on American Idol. Ooops.....I guess you probably didn't because they were Republicans. LOL.....
 
We have Sequestration in plain view of the nation, and she shows up for a glamour shot.

LOL....you post this in a knee-jerk response to cry some feigned outrage and didn't even realize that it was a remote shot from the whitehouse.....DOH!!!

Yes, because people are definitely saying we will lay off every teacher in the country. That is definitely the argument being made.
 
I fail to understand how the first lady can be so happy when we're on the verge of sequestration - when firemen won't fight fires, teachers stop teaching, planes stop flying, children starve, and boats sink. We have a few short days left, and here she is smiling like an anxious teenager over a movie. Terrible, just terrible.

It isn't the end of the world but it probably isn't the very best visual to be putting forward.

Once again, how do the cuts have anything to do with Mrs. Obama when she isn't in any way, shape, or form responsible for them?

I don't think she is responsible. I think she's irresponsible. Call it guilt by association.
 
You don't think Secret Service was there? You need a link for that?

The secret service is always there, no matter what she's doing and she was in the White House, so there wasn't the need to "clear" an area and deploy extra agents like when she leaves the grounds.

So you are getting angry at her for presenting an award at the Oscars when budget cuts that she isn't even remotely entangled in, are going to occur? How is she guilty by association?
 
Second - you prove to me with links to unbiased factual sources that it cost taxpayers money specifically for that trip that were not covered by the network and I will judge it accordingly.

Do you have access to such information - yes or no?

If she cost taxpayers millions to fly out there just to appear on that show then I am against it on that basis.
However, if she was out there anyway and just 'dropped' by the show (and the expenses for that were covered by the network); then I have ZERO problem with it.


If Michelle Obama flew to LA on a commercial airline, without secret service and without her usual entourage, I'll eat nothing but arugula for the next six months.
 
Jesus Christ...

The far right will bitch about anything won't they?
 
Michelle really does think she is royalty, those two make me just a little more sick to my stomach each and every day.

I agree 100%...

she just came back from Aspen to "play dress up" to her adoring hollywierd liberal boot lickers..

Michelle Obama - "Let them eat cake"

I'm not angry at MO at all. She married the guy, and I don't believe for one second she doesn't know what is going on politically, how the sequestration has been portrayed, and what public reaction is likely to be over the whole thing. Do you? Or do you believe she lives in her own little world devoid of politics and what her husband might be doing?
