    I think she is for some, absolutely. For others like me, not so much. I just can't relate to her.

    Anyway, being lauded for a two-second eye-roll?

    Seems...childish.

    O-ho! Look at that!

    C'mon already.

    I would love to see some DC shit resolved, but it's not gonna happen with some of the mindsets out there.

    I was somewhat thinking the same thing, how un-First Lady like. But then my thoughts reverted to my previous replies.

    Yep, when the headline on most media outlets for days is her new hairdo it's clear that most reporting is irrelevant.

    I was amazed at how many media outlets and onlookers gathered yesterday to check out her new bangs.

    AHH! This supports my crazy theory of government. (Don't worry, it'll never happen.)

    My theory of government:

    As we do now, we have executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the government PLUS we have royalty.

    The legislative members are elected by the public.
    The judicial branch is elected by the legislative.
    The executive branch is comprised of a committee /commission (similar to the presidential committee and commission) of people elected by the legislative- no president.
    The King and Queen are elected by the people and have no real power- they just look good and play a cultural role in representing the people.

    Why a president? One person to make such big decisions? Why not just a good looking King and Queen and leave the leadership roles as outlined above? I've always thought this made sense but so far I'm a team of one. :lol:

    Plus with the President actually acting like a King naming him one is nothing but a mere formality.

    Howdy, lone team player :mrgreen:

    My view of goodlooking is probably different from others - not based solely on the physical, plus I have twisted tastes - but having those roles filled for the sole purpose of image (if I read that correctly)?

    Nuh UH!

    Give me substance over style any day.

    Ugh.

    Ok... so honestly... I don't ACTUALLY think she was rolling her eyes at him. She's been in the public eye for years, the first black first lady in history... her every move and gesture is dissected and interpreted by the media. She has managed to make it thus far without being called out on anything other than the time Fox "news" asked if a fist-bump was a "terrorist fist jab."

    I really doubt that she would sit at the inauguration dinner next to John Boehner and give him some shade. She was probably reacting to something totally different.

    I just think it's funny.

    (and I honestly haven't been able to figure out how anyone could dislike someone who has two law degrees from Princeton and Harvard (only three first ladies have had those, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton) and then gave up a very promising career as a lawyer so she could be a mother.

    And her main issue is trying to help children learn about healthy eating. I mean... she's my mom.

    I always figured she was like Laura Bush... even if you were against her husband's policies... it was hard to find anything to dislike about her.

    I'm with you on that one. A heck, I thought Joey Ramone was good looking in his own weird way.

    Note to self- stop posting before you're fully awake. You leave stuff out.

    Your right, Hedonist. By good "looking" I meant in a much larger sense. Those roles would not be based on physical looks alone. They would need to be filled with people who represent the best of who we are. They would need some kind of creative talent, be it poet, musician, artist etc. They would need to be generous and kind. They would need a good sense of humor and be insightful and intelligent. They might be a great craftsman or inventor or a Mother Teresa.

    Hedonist-- I think you've just been nominated. We just need a few more candidates and set an election date. :D

    This is really kind of you to say, sir...thanks :) Although, on a much MUCH smaller scale, I've previously been asked to be on our condo's board - and again, nuh UH! Daily life can be stressful enough, which I'm sure you get. Fuck knows I don't need more drama, especially the fabricated or backtracking kind...which is sort of what politics, unfortunately these days and all over the place!, have come to represent to me.

    (ps...with ya on Joey. I love weird, in all - OK, in most - forms :mrgreen: )

    I really didn't see an eye-roll...she seemed to glance sideways at him when he spoke but she was trying to grab a bite to eat...difficult enough with a lot of cameras on you watching every chew. ugh. It was probably the first thing she had in a while. :)

    Agreed Kat! AND we cannot see/hear what the President says over her right shoulder. She may be reacting to that as well.

    But it didn't happen in slowmo. It happened in real time. You can slow anything down and make it look bad.

    I wouldn't want to sit next to Boehner. Why should she?

    No way would I want what she signed up for, public eye-wise.

    But why on earth was this clip considered newsworthy and all over the place? People loved it for a reason, but I couldn't figure out why.

    Ugh indeed :P
