Attention whoring at its finest. Pathetically low class, turning the White House into an extension of Hollywood.LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise and unprecedented appearance on Sunday's Oscars telecast when she presented the award for Best Picture, the first time a president or first lady has ever presented an Academy Award.
Proof that people can whine and cry about anything. I would be embarrassed to be so ****ing petty.
Dammit, doesn't Obama realise women need to stay in the home.
I really don't care...and I am no fan of Obama as POTUS.
It's not like her husband is going to be in an election any time soon.
If she wants to do it - assuming the network was not forced - then why not?
Imo, what politicians do in their spare time - providing it is legal and costs taxpayers zip - is none of my business...including the 'first lady'.
First - where exactly did I type that 'I like it'?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:

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.
Eh, I really don't see this as any kind of a big deal, but then I couldn't care less about the Academy Awards.
You don't think Secret Service was there? You need a link for that?
We have Sequestration in plain view of the nation, and she shows up for a glamour shot.

Is she running the country? Is she in any way whatsoever responsible for those sequestration plans?
It isn't the end of the world but it probably isn't the very best visual to be putting forward.
