I think this is real silly - anyone can tell the man was making a joke - the thing is the French have this thing with America. With Bush it was OK - but with Obama it is ridiculous. PS: I am neither American nor French - never been to either country nor particularly favor one over the other.

It is not wayward remark, it is historical remark about father's brains and mother's beauty that was repeated again and again in history. Actually it is a

Anyone offended by Obama's comment is either void of any sense of humor or is using this as a platform to attack the President for their personal interest.

And Obama is a handsome man, if you like trolls. Not to mention him being jealous that his wife looks like the Kraken. I guess mythical creatures attract each other.

In any case, who really cares? There are a 1000 things to attack Obama for, and a bit of humor is not one of them.

Hows your wife look bro? Anyway I happen to think Mrs. Obama is beautiful and I am a songwriter and singer among other things - so I have that edge.
My wife look like Halle Berry. Thanks for asking . What does being a songwriter have to do with anything?
