Well, she didn't ask them what kind of trees they would be but Barbara Walters' hour with the Obamas Wednesday was certainly lighter than their earlier post-election inquisition on "60 Minutes."
Yes she asked about the economy and had a couple of pesky lines of inquiry that sounded as if he was still on the campaign trail (how's he going to find Osama bin Laden anyway?).
But she seemed to enjoy herself more asking questions about his safety (and irresponsibly showing a white supremacist poster urging his murder - free advertising for the cause). She also really wanted to know if he was still sneaking cigarettes.
Walters was trying to get meaning out of every gesture and utterance, so she made sure to let the cameras run when the president elect stopped the future first lady by telling her she had some lipstick on her tooth.

I saw part of the interview, and once again was struck by how charm-challenged Aunt Esther is. That is one angry, perpetually ticked-off woman.
Who in their right mind would want to make such a person their life partner? And to top it off, she could make a locomotive take a mile of dirt road.
You could stomach it?
Obama is going to scoop my dogs poop! Awesome, when is he going to come here and got to work, I have three dogs, it's kind of a hassle.
Did the topic of walter’s affair with the married black senator from the 70s ever come up?
While Obomba was sleeping, Mrs. Obomba was paying attention to Reverend Wright, eating up his fiery words and enthusiastically nodding agreement as he blamed whitey for inventing AIDS to kill blacks.
She heard every word of the inflammatory sermons, in fact she swallowed hem whole, seething in anger over White America’s mistreatment of her fellow black Americans.
And make no mistake about it: this is another twofer adminstration.
She is going to be a treat.
Double standards cut both ways.
How did the conservative Right react to McCain after he claimed to know where Bin Laden was, and promised to go get him?
Obama was only saying he’ll try to find Bin Laden, and the conservative Right acts as though he’s promised the impossible...
No, I couldn’t. I watched about five minutes while channel surfing. Michelle informed Barbara that she and the White House staff were going to have to “set some boundaries” regarding the chores the girls will still have to do. There is nothing wrong with that, but she always says these kinds of things in such a “rhymes with richy” way. Her charm deficit is outstripping the national deficit.
Plenty of right-wingers (including me) mocked and continue to mock McQueeg (plus GWB and others) when he says lame, phony, or irritating things.
Yup, Obama will most certainly be associated with poop during his upcoming comedy routine.
Bambi and the bitch.
Indeed, since he looks like it, talks like it, and smells like it.
Obama has promised SO MUCH that is impossible that anything else he spurts out is kinda hard to take.
Why are you defending him?
Sounds like you’ve got a beef with the CONSERVATIVE right.
I believe the stuffing is going to last longer than you.
And put it right in that pie you all want.

A chicken in every pot and dog poop in every baggie. There’s nothing our Scooper-in-Chief can’t and won’t deliver for us. (While we merely sacrifice our incomes, freedom and sovereignty!)
