Monday Open Thread [7.30.12]
First Lady Michelle Obama is getting raves for her grace, class and diplomatic acumen at the Olympics. As Sarah Jones reports at PoliticusUSA: “The Evening Standard called our First Lady a smashing success, “As a lesson in good natured statesmanship – if not to say simple manners – it was a masterclass.” They continued, “For Michelle Obama cast aside stuffy protocol to join in the fun and games to celebrate today’s opening of the Olympic games with more than 1,000 children.”
I love this. All these big macho NBA stars lining up like a kindergarten class and patiently waiting to hug our lovely first lady.
I had heard about this clip and didn’t know what to expect. It is oddly compelling and enjoyable.
I loved this!
Like kindergartners — that’s funny! This is a delightful clip.
And how about this as a perk of the job — FLOTUS gets to play with David Beckham.
I note that Coach K got in there for his hug too.
Michelle Obama is a phenomenal human being!
Suck it, Lady Andrede.
