Barack & Michelle Attend World’s Worst Dance Party

by Ken Layne  

'Celebrate good times, come on.' (You know this is what the party DJ played.)
Oh sure, it’s a big honor to get the Nobel Peace Prize, but the banquet and the deejay are just as lame as any affair involving old white rich people wearing suits. Here’s Barack and Michelle, America’s top dancers, enjoying whatever is going on here, probably at about three in the afternoon, which is nighttime in Oslo anyways. That rave with Stephen Harper was so much more awesome. [White House Flickr]

Caribbean Queen, well be sharing the same dream, and hearts they beat as one…no more love on the run…. By a Danish orchestra?

Gopherit December 14, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Who is Anderson Cooper dancing with there?

ManchuCandidate December 14, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Naw. This is the world’s worst dance party…

He looks like he just met her and is trying to get her number.

Gopherit December 14, 2009 at 4:08 pm

[re=477828]Edywin[/re]: I would have figured them for a “Get Out of my Dreams (Get into My Car” group.

Monsieur Grumpe December 14, 2009 at 4:09 pm

No, this is.

Needs more A-Ha.

SayItWithWookies December 14, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Is that just an unflattering dress, or is our first lady looking a tad — um — enceinte in that photo?

Gopherit December 14, 2009 at 4:15 pm

[re=477852]SayItWithWookies[/re]: are you suggesting the first lady is knocked up?

thesheriffisnear December 14, 2009 at 4:15 pm

1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4…

JMP December 14, 2009 at 4:16 pm

On the alt.text, that would still be OK as long as the DJ doesn’t play The Electric Slide; or even worse, The Chicken Dance. Two moments to dread at just about any white-people wedding with a DJ.

user-of-owls December 14, 2009 at 4:16 pm

Oh my god…I’m having the absolute worst Sunday Night At Gramp’s House Lawrence Welk flashback in history…ahhhrrrrrgggg, please not the, “A one, a two…”….noooo.

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm

It must have been really awkward with that large “No Negroes” symbol on the wall.

Accordion-o-rama December 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm

[re=477841]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: The fisting conga line at 1:21 is great.

Stephen Harper is laughing now but that chubby halfwit is going to be out of a job and back in Calgary, personally torturing Afghan detainees with his bare testicles, in less than half a year. Get used to these words: Prime Minister Jack Layton. Also for less than half a year. Canadians are more election crazy these days than Italians, but with uglier cars. Your aunt’s old Pacer lives in Ottawa.

Jukesgrrl December 14, 2009 at 4:22 pm

He didn’t have time for lunch with the King, but he had time for THAT?

SayItWithWookies December 14, 2009 at 4:23 pm

[re=477860]Gopherit[/re]: January 20th plus nine months plus about seven more weeks — the timing would certainly be right for a little après le bal hanky-panky.

gjdodger December 14, 2009 at 4:24 pm

You know, officially, Barry is 6′ 1 1/2″ and Michelle is like 5′ 11 and 31/32nds” or something–you tall gals know what I mean. But I think she could dunk on him, and give him a facial at the other end of the court.

thesheriffisnear December 14, 2009 at 4:27 pm

[re=477864]JMP[/re]: Do they still do the Alley Cat too?

shellyboo98 December 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm

[re=477852]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Nah! I know bloat when I see it. It’s just too much dairy in Oslo. (As one who’s lactose intolerant, it’s happen to me, too, Michelle! It can be a bitch on an evening gown.)

WadISay December 14, 2009 at 4:36 pm

[re=477848]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Or ABBA.

Extemporanus December 14, 2009 at 4:39 pm

Sjæææl Tog!

nbawriter December 14, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Is that a NOBAMA insignia in the background? That’s just rude, Sweden! Er, Iceland. Wherever that is.

Cicada December 14, 2009 at 4:40 pm

[re=477877]SayItWithWookies[/re]: She’s 46. She’s more likely to be menopausal than pregnant.

Extemporanus December 14, 2009 at 4:44 pm

[re=477831]Gopherit[/re]: I’m not sure, but they appear to be wearing a men’s watch for some reason.

NotthatLC December 14, 2009 at 4:45 pm

[re=477838]the lady MS. Sheila Dixon[/re]:

He ALWAYS looks at her like that. I swear to God, last night I thought he was going to throw her down on the ground and do her right there at Oprah’s feet.

Darkness December 14, 2009 at 4:45 pm

[re=477838]the lady MS. Sheila Dixon[/re]: I think that is the sweetest thing about them. Barry still behaves like a first date puppy around the nice lady who could break the arms offa him if she got it in her mind to…

SayItWithWookies December 14, 2009 at 4:46 pm

[re=477923]Cicada[/re]: Which doesn’t make it impossible. A 47-year-old friend of mine is perfectly horrified that she’s still fertile. I’d just advise her that flying on a plane after your water breaks can lead to Down syndrome.

Come here a minute December 14, 2009 at 4:47 pm

[re=477913]WadISay[/re]: See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen

[re=477841]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: You may spend eternity in a burning sulphur lake of fire for providing that link.

WadISay December 14, 2009 at 4:49 pm

[re=477841]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Fiend! That was…abominable [retches]. Now I can’t get that tune out of my head.

chascates December 14, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Now, just imagine Tom DeLay there instead. (Awarded the Whore Prize.)

god help me

pondscum December 14, 2009 at 5:10 pm

I’m thinking ugly, ill-fiting dress. Yea, that’s the problem.

Joshua Norton December 14, 2009 at 5:11 pm

So is Michelle’s fashion consultant some schlub who got booted off Project Runway during the first week? Horizontal fur bands around the hips? Oy. That would cause Nina Garcia, Duchess and Heidi Klum to break out in hives.

It looks like it should go “beep beep beep” when she dances backwards.

Gopherit December 14, 2009 at 5:29 pm

[re=477841]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: You, my friend, knowq how to party.

thesheriffisnear December 14, 2009 at 6:42 pm

[re=477979]Joshua Norton[/re]: I, for one, must admit to having impure thoughts about our first lady’s rear end.

Paul Tardy December 14, 2009 at 7:26 pm

The band was playing “I don’t want to set the world on fire”.

Violenza December 14, 2009 at 7:32 pm

Michelle has a knack for picking some really unflattering shit. That’s like, the ultimate GOP elephant dress.

the problem child December 14, 2009 at 8:02 pm

[re=477968]canadians for pussy[/re]: It’s a sorry state of affairs, isn’t it? I miss Alexa. Still, nothing could ever make me vote for Harper, not all the fostered prop kittens in the world.

user-of-owls December 14, 2009 at 8:05 pm

[re=478124]Paul Tardy[/re]: No, the Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

Jukesgrrl December 14, 2009 at 8:15 pm

[re=477978]pondscum[/re]: [re=478127]Violenza[/re]: If anyone ever doubted Barry’s straight, this proves it. A gay man wouldn’t let her out of the house in that outfit.

Mr Blifil December 14, 2009 at 10:55 pm

Needs moar Delay.

Bravo, Secret Service assholes. Orrin Hatch (right) grasps his instructions and vial of chloroform from his masters at the Bohemian Grove. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/4177031953/in/photostream/
From hence on, our government is to be ruled by Barry’s Republican-appointed twin, J.C. Watts (Rudolf Rassendyll).

Whoa, I wrote it for you
It’s yours and mine

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh….”

[re=478148]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Srsly. I love her, but what the FUCK is she wearing?

Captain Swing December 15, 2009 at 5:34 am

The caption might have read:

President Barack “Fred Astaire” Obama: “Hey Michelle, I’m getting pretty good at this, aren’t I?

Michelle “Ginger Rogers” Obama (through gritted teeth): “Yes dear, you’re so light on my feet…”

Hi Wonkette Community,

I sincerely apologize if this has been brought up before. I’ve googled and checked the comments on this page and the flickr. Can someone else confirm that the First Lady’s panties are visible in this picture. I see a high cut panty that conveniently meets in her crack…please tell me I’m not going insane or just drunk. PLEASE. Perhaps this is a news story that I missed–I don’t know.
