Michelle Obama’s Oscar Presentation Raises Questions About The Role Of A First Lady

Is this what Michelle Obama looks like untethered to the pressure of a campaign? Is she free to follow her whims without worries about political backlash?

The first lady became the buzz of the weekend when she beamed into the Academy Awards from the White House to present the award for best picture with Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson. Attendees and viewers were flabbergasted at the satellite image of the elegantly dressed Obama, flanked by young service members in full regalia, opening the envelope to name Ben Affleck’s “Argo” the winner.

“It just seem[ed] so natural because the whole thing is so unnatural,” Affleck told reporters after the show — right after he said he thought he was “hallucinating.”

The role of this first lady is do as I say, not as I do, so I can be proud of my country.

Is this assuming no one else has ever done this either?

That thinking would be wrong.

While the rest of us are trying to get by day to day, it's comforting to know the first family is living it up on our dime. But, then again they are "entitled" to everytrhing.At least Clinton "felt our pain". This family is inflicting pain on us.

She's not even qualified to do that!

Had the movie "Lincoln" been chosen she would not have been chosen to announce it.That was the stip that you will never hear elsewhere.

Just think of all the money it cost tax payers for this joke, all the Secret Service personnel that had to have been there. Guess that's why military pay has to be cut so Mr. Obama can send a few to the Oscars.

Iran was pretty upset that Argo won best picture. I thought the First Lady was the presenter strictly to add insult to injury.

How did Clinton feel our pain? It would seem he got paid for pleasure.

Why was she even there? I am sooo glad I did not watch my time watching; I would have turned it off at first sight of her.

2:19 She needs no qualifications to do that, just as the voting liberal free loaders voted her unqualified husband to be President. It certainly doesn't take any qualifications to be a Democrat either.
