Obama Forgets Where He Met Michelle In Moscow Speech (VIDEO)

Barack Obama has proven himself to in many ways be the ideal husband, but today in Moscow he showed that he was not immune to the occasional slip-up, as evidenced by the following statement: "I don't know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I'm sure that you're all going to have wonderful careers." Why was this bad you wonder? Politico explains:

Obama seemed to be playing off an introduction that referred to him meeting his future wife, Michelle Robinson, while he was a student. But the truth is that the couple met not "in class" but at a law firm in Chicago, Sidley Austin, in 1989. Obama was a summer associate (essentially a legal intern) there and Robinson was an attorney completing her first year at the firm. Both attended Harvard Law School, but Michelle graduated in the spring of 1988, while Barack Obama did not arrive at the Cambridge, Mass., campus until that fall.

Oh come on! The whole world knows where they met because it was part of several television interviews. They did not meet "in class" as Obama says. They met at work, in another state.

About the same as Hillary Clintons saying she was shot at in Bosnia. I swear these politicians don't even know where they are most of the time, let alone what they say.

lmao...you are so right...th­ey are too busy trying to ruin our lives. ; -)

I am the forgetful one in my family..hu­sband is so good at remembering everything­...he knows the date time everything­...I know where. lol

[klondiker]

Okay, obviously, he meant that he was a student when they met - which is true. Jeez, some people just need any excuse to attack.

[barackobama4prez]

Uh oh....kind­a like forgetting an anniversary? surprise surprise, he's a normal husband.

[azulmarina]

wait till Michelle hear this story, she is not going to like it........­.......too­ooooooooo funny.

[AndyWright68]

When you lie as much as he does to please an audience this is natural. He's was just making a common ground connection. Sales 101

Lies, lies and more lies.

[billtmore]

Yes were are the Rethugs to pounce on this for what it really is?!! A coverup based on lies.

[oscartucker]

You are being sarcastic, right?

[marthainmaine]

I have wondered if Michelle is pregnant too. She sure has the look. Only thing she has had the same look for months.

[takeyourballandgohome]

No, it's just her shape. She exagerates it often with those freakin' belts. She's in excellent condition, you/we are just familiar to seeing model-like bodies in the media and/or surgically altered ones. She photographs a lot differently from every angle. Leave her alone is the best thing. She does what she can with what she's got.

[Sportsbabe]

Trudat Takeyourball. "Americans" aren't used to seeing a well proportioned black woman in all her finest. To us "unpatriotics" this is beautiful, fly, flossy, and (as that great orator Mike Steele would say) "off the heezy fo sheezy" in all her glory. She looks darn good to me.

Youj really think a divorce is forthcoming? Don^t hold your breath.

[weatherwaxx]

He was an intern, still getting his education. Michelle couldn't recall their first date awhile back.

Gee, d'you suppose having two kids and running for Senate and then this latest little job application might've put the past to the back of their minds?

I don't know any married couples who don't have an occasional memory lapse, or phrase things imperfectly, and this is about two levels below petty.

[americaismyhome]

That is the most bogus thing I ever heard. I can tell you the first time I ever SAW my wife, much less where we first met.

[susierr]

Well GOOD for you ! Are you running the country? You have anything else important to do besides remember when and where you met your wife? sheesh

[oscartucker]

Glad you remember! Of course for many, remembering depends on age, and it also depends on circumstances and experiences. If you've been married a while, raised children, worked here and there, moved here and there, you just have to sit down and think about it some times. That doesn't mean that LOVE is not there! Remember all you want to, but how are you treating the person? Do you show caring and respect every day, or are you just going to do something on the date you remember? Hey, Mark Sanford, Ensign, Vitter, Spencer, and a host of others may remember "the first time [they] ever SAW [their wives], much less where [they] first met", but then again . . .

[KillBillV2]

OH NO!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? IT MEANS THEY MUST BE GETTING D IVORCED@!! THE WORLD MUST BE ENDING!!1 SARAH PALIN MIGHT BE PRESIDENT NOW!!

[weatherwaxx]

EEK!

[Shamrocky]

ISNT AN INTERNSHIP OFTEN CONSIDERED A CLASS? Capitalization for emphasis. So whats the problem here? He wasn't a lawyer, but a student when they met. A student doing a summer internship. Follow the logic to class. Its really not that hard.

[MajorKong]

Oops! Does the White House have a dog house, because that's where he's going to be sleeping for a while.

[cozen]

Who cares? Is this junk piece to show how low the media industry has come to?

[older2wiser]

i agree... seems 2 me the huff has waaay 2 much time on their hands....

[aliceinks]

I think it is more they are tabloid news??? If you want the REAL NEWS news...go to cbs/fox/nbc/abc.

[t iessa]

He's a politician. He says what is expedient at the time.

[timewaster2dcore]

For once and maybe the only time, I seem to agree with "t iessa". After all, the speech was a prepared one.

[1088]

He forgot where he met Michelle, and Michelle forgot where their first date was. I say it's even! Move on!
