President Barack Obama, in an Iowa radio interview broadcast Wednesday, tried to set the record straight on his wife's ribbing of Gabby Douglas for eating McDonalds after her gold medal win.

First lady Michelle Obama teased the Olympian during an appearance on Jay Leno on Monday, but the president said Douglas was not her target.

"You know, the truth is the first lady was teasing Jay Leno, not Gabby, because Gabby can afford anything because she’s so fit," Obama said in an interview

Obama pointed at the medals and told Gabby, “You didn’t earn them.”

Another Obama, being taken out of context...sigh.

LOL! true! pure BS

[patriotspride]

For being so intelligent and educated they sure do a lot of “ splainin” to clarify what they said....

[GizzyGirl]

“Obama pointed at the medals and told Gabby, “You didn’t earn them.””

Someone else did that! So give them to me and I will make sure they are redistributed.

Typical Hussein remark..

‘WHAT...NOT ME NOR MICHELLE...’

NEVER THE OBAMA’S FAULT DON’T YA KNOW.

You know, it wasn't so much what she said, but the fact that she couldn't just sit there and let this young lady have a bit of her well-earned fame without intruding and making herself, and her bogus "issue," the center of attention.

She's a classless boor.

Baconbutt M. Obama doesn’t know how to tell the truth.

Just more lies, lies and more damn lies.

For America to survive, Obama must go.....

That is what p!ssed me off the most, it was Gabby's moment. Lowlife classless bunch all of them.

Yes, everyone in the Olympics should get medals. Because they all worked hard, most are smart, all showed up for their events. It seems so unfair that some get medals and others do not, when they all worked hard. (/s)

STFU, you stupid cow! Moooo-shell, you’re an idiot.

"...how this warrants serious political discussion is indicative of some peoples’ need for a life. Sheeesh... a complete non-story."

Her "joke" illustrates how the self-appointed First Lunch Lady and National Nutritionist feels the need to stick her face where it absolutely doesn't belong. I hope Gabby signs a multimillion-dollar endorsement contract with McDonald's.

I may start using that as my tagline.

[Political Junkie Too]

It shows that the cover-up is worse than the crime. Once again, we see that Obama can never be wrong. His wife didn't attack Gabby, she targeted Leno. All Obama needed to say was, "Yeah, well, Michelle only had Gabby's health in mind," and be done with it.

But it's not his nature to do so.

For people who are soooo smart, sooo intelligent, sooo urbane, sooo witty; they certainly do have to explain what they say a LOT!

No it doesn't. Her actions do that...lobbying for legislation...pushing for funding of her pet projects...Shaking down grocers to open stores in non-profitable locations are all perfect illustrations of her unwelcome nannyism. Light hearted banter with a giggly 16YO Olympian isn't.

[ridesthemiles]

Another example of how stupid Barry thinks we all are!!!!

Gabby is only 16 & she knew exactly who Mooochelle was talking about.

Obama: Michelle was teasing Leno, not Gabby

BS! Moochelle wasn't 'teasing' anyone, she decided to use Gabby as a platform to lecture everyone about her pet project.

Too bad Gabby has to much class to say-

"You ain't my momma, so shut up, you fat cow!"
