First lady dishes on Leno about her husband's most annoying habits First Lady Michelle Obama dished on Jay Leno's NBC show Friday about her husband's most annoying habits, sarcastically quipping hubby Barack is "perfect" before she spilled the beans about how he angers her the most. Leno asked Michelle on-air Friday what irritated her the most about her presidential partner, igniting Michelle's dry sense of humor -- she deadpanned that he was "perfect," then revealed it's his top-notch tennis game that drives her crazy. "He beats me quite often," Obama answered. "It gets to be pretty annoying." Michelle continued to riff on Barack, saying there "wasn't enough time" to talk about his bad habits.

Presidential Love Story: First Couple in Photos The first lady also opened up about what she whispers to the president after his signature speeches, telling Leno she doesn't offer top-secret foreign policy advice or congratulations -- but something a little more domestic. "I usually ask him, did he take out the garbage?" she said with a laugh.

She answered Leno's question about whether Obama would prefer world peace or the Chicago White Sox' World Series bid diplomatically, saying her hubby would likely choose "world peace" but that he "wouldn't mind" his Sox getting a bid to the big game.

Barack wasn't the only family member getting ripped by the first lady -- she cracked a joke about First Grandma Marian Robinson, 72. Leno asked who disciplined daughters Sasha and Malia the most, and Michelle didn't hesitate to point the finger at her own mother.

"I can tell you who disciplines them the least, and that would be Grandma. She is worthless!" Obama said. "Cookies, TV, whatever they want."

Michelle also spoke to Leno about the first dog Bo, saying the Obama family celebrated his first birthday with a dog house made out of veal and "party hats." Daughters Sasha and Malia also came up in the conversation, but Michelle wouldn't answer Leno's question about what the first daughters plan to wear on Halloween.

"You need security clearance for that," she said. Obama was filed via satellite from the White House in a bit filmed before Leno's show aired Friday.

Gag.

[Secret Agent Man]

So Barack, have you stopped beating your wife (at tennis) yet?

[Terpfen]

"He beats me quite often," Obama answered.

If Laura Bush had ever said this, the next day's headlines would read BUSH BEATS FIRST LADY, CHARGES FORTHCOMING

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

..."He beats me quite often," Obama answered. "It gets to be pretty annoying." Michelle continued to riff on Barack,

Wonder how long before PRAVDA or National Enquirer run with this?

[omega4179]

c. “I usually ask him, did he take out the garbage?” she said with a laugh.

Even their jokes are bald lies.

They say the only time an Obama is telling the truth is when they say they want to spend more of your money.

[Boston Tea Party]

This woman is a certifiable narcissistic moron.

[Dinah Lord]

And the crowd laughs uproariously!

[Lonely Bull]

Interviewer: What are your worst personal characteristics?

Interviewee: I work too hard, often for long hours without being asked to. I can also be stubbornly loyal to my boss.

Michelle continued to riff on Barack, saying there "wasn't enough time" to talk about his bad habits.

Is he still stinky and snore-y?

[Finalapproach29er]

Any woman who cuts into her husband in public is bad news.

“First lady dishes on Leno about her husband’s most annoying habits First Lady Michelle Obama dished on Jay Leno’s NBC show Friday about her husband’s most annoying habits, “

I heard that he picks his feet in Poughkeepsie.

[fish hawk]

Nothing about him walking on water? And how about that ham that he cured. He fiddles while America burns and she only gets to play second fiddle.

[dr_who]

Beginning to sound like the makings of a fine Sanford and Son episode.

[TheConservativeParty]

“She is worthless!”
Michelle threw Grama Robinson under the bus.
A different bus than the one that hit Obongo’s Typical White Grandmother.

[Dallas59]

She must be racist.

a dog house made out of veal

Wow....just Wow.

[RushCrush]

I find her so disingenous and unlikeable that it surprises even me

[Moe Tzadik]

The Republic is crumbling and a fat ass Marxist appears with a failed comedian on a Goebbelian State run media channel?

Better things to do, like check the supplies and guesstimate how long before anarchy in the streets after the dollar becomes worthless.

[NautiNurse]

Mrs. Obama has a beautiful smile...

[Covenantor]

Michelle also spoke to Leno about the first dog Bo, saying the Obama family celebrated his first birthday with a dog house made out of veal and "party hats."

President Obama's half-brother when told the tale of Bo's birthday bash.

"Huh...de dawg, he give the dawg da house made of veal?"

Wait...he really give the dawg a house made of veal?"

"Yo brudder Barak, maybe my next birthday you give me running water and lawn furniture and a nice fat dawg to eat?

[OrangeHoof]

"He beats me quite often,"

Can we save that for a 2012 commercial?

[BuckyKat]

No wonder Leno’s ratings are in the toilet. I watched a few nights when it first started back. There were funny parts but overall, his guests were some of the most outspoken libs around. The night he had Michael Moore was the last straw.

[Bigg Red]

Is that her Elvis imitation?

[LostInBayport]

Beginning to sound like the makings of a fine Sanford and Son episode.

[goodnesswins]

I agree.....bad mouthing your husband to the nation tells EVERYONE you have NO CLASS!

[traumer]

No questions 'bout his illegal auntie ?

[Richard Kimball]

I bad mouth her husband all the time.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I refuse to watch either of the two First Pukes.

[Dick Bachert]

Does anybody shive a git about any of that?

[Dick Bachert]

Does anybody shive a git about any of that?

What annoys me most about this crew is that they’re still infesting the White House.

[Palladin]

Those lines were written for her—poorly and tastelessly, which is par for the course for Leno’s junior high level writers.

There are a lot of out of work Americans who would not like to hear that.

There is nothing wrong with the wealthy enjoying their wealth, especially the fruits of their own labor. But considering that WE pay his salary (and his dog food), and a lot of us are hurting because HE doesn't give employers any hope that next year will be better, then this is really in your face cruel.

[Palladin]

Moe, you are such a cynic! Laugh, be happy, hope and change are here!

;)

[Palladin]

[Pan_Yan]

Would anyone really believe that the sunken chested smoker beat Michelle?

[goodnesswins]

You are not his spouse...

[tumblindice]

(Holding envelope to turbaned forehead)

“Watching two semis try to pass one another on I-44.”

“What is: Watching the Worst Lady hustle her buttocks back to the baseline to retrieve a high lob.”

[cricket]

Double gag. . .So, Mom is worthless; cannot even stretch that into 'funny'. As for hubby taking out the garbage.. .pulleeeze! Does either 'Obama' know where the cans are? Yeah,sure. . .love those pics of Obama carrying out the trash after dinner and/or breakfast; before 'pick up'.

Truth in humor, in this case is simply painful; and "Mama' should give some pain to Michelle after that interview.

[NautiNurse]

Perfect!

[kromike]

Dear gawd, Jerry Springer has moved into the White House. What a classless decrepit bunch of trash. Anger limply masquerading as humor does not become The First Wookiee "Babygotbakka".

I can easily picture this miserable, unfunny woman as "CCCC": Conservative Concentration Camp Czar.

[null and void]

Mrs. Obama has a beautiful smile...

Indeed!

[null and void]

a dog house made out of veal

Wow....just Wow.

Yep. The same people who were screaming about how cruel veal was are now A-OK with it being used for dog housing.

I'm shocked.

not!

[reagan_fanatic]

"I usually ask him, did he take out the garbage?" she said with a laugh.

It took a herculean effort to keep the chunder from blasting past my lips after reading that one.

Good Lord...

[XenaLee]

Looks like Cheetah on a bad hair day. (appologies to Cheetah and any Tarzan fans)

[RoadKingSE]

"He beats me quite often,"

"Look at these two fat lips he gave me."

[Grizzled Bear]

If he spent half the time speaking to his General that he spends speaking with late night talk show hosts he might make positive progress in Afghanistan and Iraq...

[ccmay]

[Trick or Treat]

I see that she was wearing the curtains again. And an ugly bow that doesn’t go with them.

[bitt]

“You need security clearance for that,” she said.

oh yeah, where’s your hubby’s security clearance????

...and where’s your license to practice law, you witch?
