Michelle Obama lets loose with Missy Elliott, James Corden on 'Carpool Karaoke' (barf alert)
Statesman (D.C.) ^ | 7/22/2016 | Douglas Barclay

Posted on 07/22/2016 8:00:01 AM PDT by simpson96

During an early summer visit to Washington, D.C., comedian James Corden brought his "Carpool Karaoke" segment to the White House with First Lady Michelle Obama.

In contrast to Corden's usual guests, such as Adele and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Obama didn't have an album to promote and didn't have any songs of her own to sing.

Instead, she joined Corden on a pleasant (and heavily guarded) tour through Washington. The two discussed life in the White House and sang along to some of the first lady's favorite tunes.

"James Corden's White House tour takes an unthinkable turn when First Lady Michelle Obama joins him for a drive around the grounds singing Stevie Wonder and Beyonce," CBS captioned the video. "Surprise guest Missy Elliott drops in to sing 'This Is For My Girls.'"

"Whatcha got?" Obama asked Corden when she got in the car.

The first song the two belted out was a cover of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," a song the first lady said is among her top favorites.

Obama revealed that filming the segment was just the second time in 7 1/2 years that she sat in the passenger seat of a car, the other time being when one of her daughters took a drivers ed course.

"I'm going to miss the people … they help you … they love you, to walk away from people you see every single day, that's going to be hard," Obama said of her time in the White House.

One of the highlights of the special was the duo's spirited performance of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce.

"We were making honey to put in our lemonade," Obama said with a smile when the two finished their ride. As they drove around the White House service roads, Corden's car was trailed by Secret Service agents.

I saw that earlier. It only caused minimum dry heaving.

She looks to have been ‘lightened’.

‘”I’m going to miss the people … they help you … they love you, to walk away from people you see every single day, that’s going to be hard,” Obama said of her time in the White House.’

From 2010- ‘Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’, Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet book. Miss Bruni divulges that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president’s wife: ‘Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!’

Hmmmm. Now which to believe? I just don’t know (cue the Church Lady)

I bet the hair dressing bill for her is a substantial cost to this government. I’ve see her pictures way before when Obama was a curtain hanger “organizer”....I know hair like she has don’t naturally age to what she has now.

MY guess is that “van” also has a lead and chase car accompanying it that says “Beware, Wide Load!”

I can just picture Melania or Ivanka doing that! I can’t wait for return of dignity, decorum, and class to the people’s house.

Why does Mooch-hell feel the need to lie about making honey for lemonade? Is there an official white mosque bee hive on the grounds?

By law, the vehicles that transport her require a Wide Load banner on the back.

Mainstream Media played her video as ‘news’ a few times (too much, free).

I was observing that her skin was lightened.

There are also pictures of her in the curtain hanging days where your theory gains credence.

After Obammy leaves office I could see Moochelle out in South Dakota at the Custer State Park grazing with the buffalo herd.
Without the U.S. Taxpayer footing the feed bill for that cow she will need the feed. Throw in a salt lick and there you have it.

Agree, maybe it should say, “Weird Load”.

Do these people not realize that Kareoke is so YESTERDAY?
They might as well be singing the Communist Manifesto...
