Obama's joke? (http://Obama%27s%20joke?%3Cbr%20/%3E)
(http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/06/obamas-risqu-joke-125518.html)
President Obama (http://www.politico.com/2012-election/barack-obama/index.html), in Los Angeles for a fundraiser, offered this observation on his wife's exercise routine, via the pool report:
“Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well,” he said, after saying that she’s taken some criticism on her technique “because she doesn’t go all the way down” – a line that he let hang, naughtily, provoking laughter from the crowd.



Double entendregate: did President Obama make a blowjob joke? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/oliver-burkemans-blog/2012/jun/07/barack-obama-joebiden?newsfeed=true)

Do you deliberately crack a dirty joke about your wife, the First Lady of the United States (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa), having oral sex with Ellen DeGeneres (http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/ellen-degeneres), who is hosting the event?

It's not a terribly difficult question, is it? You don't.
And sure enough, while addressing supporters of the LGBT Leadership Council in Beverley Hills on Wednesday night, Barack Obama (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/barack-obama) didn't.

So, how come a story that was, until the middle of this morning, headlined "Obama's double entendre" (http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/06/obamas-risqu-joke-125518.html) is currently the "most read" on Politico, while Buzzfeed wants to know "Did President Obama Just Make A Blowjob Joke?" (http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/did-president-obama-just-make-a-blowjob-joke) Here, via the Buzzfeed link, is the section of the transcript that's causing all the snickering:




I want to thank my wonderful friend [Ellen DeGeneres] who accepts a little bit of teasing about Michelle beating her in pushups – (laughter) – but I think she claims Michelle didn't go all the way down. (Laughter.) That's what I heard. I just want to set the record straight – Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well. (Laughter.) So she shouldn't feel bad. She's an extraordinary talent and she's just a dear, dear friend – Ellen DeGeneres. Give Ellen a big round of applause.






Okay, what do you think? Was it lewd?

Was he playing to a GLBT group, and did it on purpose?

Was it just a mistake?

It was "off-color" ... depending on your point of view or preference.

Nope. Not a mistake. He was playing to the Gay/Lesbian crowd and the culture that goes with it. Was it in poor taste? Yes, for me it was. For them, no...but then taste has never been the strong suit of gays, lesbians, democrats and certainly not the me-first family.

OK, so start with the homophobia crap....go ahead I really like stuffing it back down the throats of narrow minded, morons..

Question would be did Degeneres say or lead him into that comment.

That self gratified grin of his is one of the least appealing aspects of his nature. He is mean and small minded and enjoys making himself feel bigger by making others small.

He's sneaky....and playing to a GLBT audience...I'd bet he did it on purpose.

I'm looking for a viddy of it.

He looks disturbed by the reaction to me. If I had to make a "ruling", he looks like he didn't do it on purpose. Or, he's reacting to something else or expressing confusion.

Well.....I think the point is will Michelle take it as a joke, when they are in private.

Although Obama does need to start thinking back about his days before he got.....The Cool In You! :grin:

Now that I see the video, I agree. He looks disappointed that his audience chose to take it as a double entante'.

I don't know.....I think he caught it as. That didn't come out right and he tried to clean it up with the bit about her doing more push-ups than him. I think he was thinking.....damn it, at the same time while trying to speak. Knowing he will hear it later. From both Michelle and the Media.

A sitting president making oral sex jokes when running for relection? Nah, this was something that was taken the wrong way by the audience IMO. The joke was that Michelle doesn't use the right form on her pushups, that's it...talking about his wife like that would be incredibly stupid and besides, you know there would be hell to pay at home. No way Obama or his speechwriter intended this.

Thanks for finding the vid Trinnity, that does help clear things up a lot. It helps to be able to see it / hear the audience.

I don't get the BJ reference from the video (I understand how people could think it). He is talking about pushups with Ellen. Most people don't do pushups correctly. They don't go down far enough. At least he threw in the line at the end to say that his wife beats him at pushups.

It was scripted in the speech, I can't believe his speech writers didn't see that one coming. Either they're stupid or he is or...well...both.

Well Obama will read anything you put on the teleprompter. Just like Ron Burgundy.

Stay Classy, San Diego.

I think that President Obama has trouble satisfying his woman...and that's what this is all about. He's afraid she is going to switch teams on him.
