MOSCOW – Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.

But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

In a country where a presidential candidate once quipped he'd sooner pack his wife off to a convent than allow her to dabble in politics, Russia still has trouble with the concept of an empowered woman behind the throne.

Well, she’s worn the bedspread, the couch upholstery, the tablecloth, and the kitchen apron, why wouldn’t she wear the shower curtain too?

I can't wait for the Christmas tree skirt.

Most people don't remember this...there was a part of the Obama crowd pushing this hand signal that they could use at rallies, and to greet each other. They thought it was very clever, the "O" was obvious, for Obama, the interlocked fingers had to do with many coming together, and so on. They could do this above their heads, flash it to each other to let them know their allegiance, etc.

It was all well and good, until someone with a brain larger than a pea realized just how completely CREEPY it was, and it died quiet death after a few articles made it to the national level. If there was any doubt about how deranged these people are, check out this quote from the link below: "...Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity..."

You can still find the US News and World Report article on it here...they can't scrub EVERYTHING...

When I saw the poster, I immediately thought of the famous head in the rear poster, and made this little animated gif.

"Russia!? I ain't goin to no Russia you Dumbo-earred dummy, I'm goin to Michael's funeral. And you gonna have to stop with the middle finger or you can change your name from Messiah to Stumpy. Let's see you explain that one to Charles Gibson. Now gimme my shoes and let's get out of here. My damn belt is killing me."
