On last night’s Dancing With the Stars, former frontrunner couple Barack and Michelle took a bit of a dip in terms of performance level. But not a big enough dip, if you know what I mean!
After their tender but staid foxtrot, head judge DANCMSTR Len Goodman complimented Barack’s "core," which he recalled fondly from a paparazzi beach photo, but harped on his nearly nonexistent footwork. Bruno Tonioli praised the couple’s chemistry and called Michelle "a beautiful swan under the curse of an evil sorcerer, afraid to flutter its wings lest they get cilpped by ten thousand flashes of fancy!" Nobody knew what that meant. Carrie Ann Inaba merely stood up, pointed to her tears and wailed, alternating between two equally horrific pitches. Still, Barack and Michelle scored a respectable 21 out of 30 and should fully redeem themselves in next week’s freestyle.
In better news, Samantha Harris had her best episode yet. And to get Beyoncé to perform on Dancing With the Stars — what a coup!
Did you tune in for ABC’s Neighborhood Ball or any of last night’s other inauguration specials? Can you still not get enough Obama media dazzle, or have you about had it with the glitter?
Best. Recap. EVER!! But you forgot to mention the fact that poor Michelle kept tripping on her dress. And that they had to repeat the said foxtrot 10 frickin’ times throughout the evening.
But I’m still not sick of the cutness that is the Obamas. So nice to see a healthy and loving relationship…
Muahahaha! Annie, your best yet!
21 out 30?? were you looking at the smae dance??? They looked like two akward freshmen at thier first dance.
I gave them a 10 out 30
“that’s what we call ‘old school.’”
loved it!
Annie you outdid yourseld. Thanks for the morning giggles lol.
I thought the Neighborhood Ball was awesome. I noticed some of the singers were “pitchy” (Mariah, Alicia Keys, Adam from Maroon 5) but I do have to say, and by no means am I a Beyonce fan, but she had the most amazing moment with that beautiful song, the first dance, and she just looked stunning.
I also tuned in to MTV and saw Kanye West perform and speak which wasn’t bad but I loved how they spoke to people across the world. It’s interesting to hear what others had to say about our dashing new Prez.
Listening to At Last 30 million times last night made he hate that song for the rest of my life. I wonder if the President and Mrs. Obama felt the same! lol
I enjoyed the dances, hey they show that they are human with their so called mistakes. They were a cute couple-looked like Barack wanted some faster music, he was ready to go all out.
Who really cares what the DWTS group has to say?
It was charming seeing Ms. Fierce herself kinda lose it at the end – even she’s starstruck! The Obamas aren’t great foxtrotters but they looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Oh Annie, I heart you- funny funny funny!
I’m just happy that we’ve got two whole months without Samantha Harris
Kind of hard to dance well in a dress that has a train, that was the designer’s fault. Bonus points to Mrs. Obama for the attempt.
Chris Matthews is no Tom Bergeron.

That was a foxtrot? Really?
