Jay Leno was supposed to be the comedian at last night's White House Correspondents' Dinner, but his act didn't hold up after a hilarious speech given by the President himself, who took on everyone from Sarah Palin to Snooki. More »

Obama notes she and Barack are always juggling the work-life balance, "making sure that home is home and that we're present and accounted for, for our kids - not as Michelle and Barack Obama, but as mom and dad." [BusinessWeek] More »

After reading the NY Times' just-published "In First Lady's Roots, a Complex Path From Slavery," I felt conflicted. There is a lot to absorb. A lot to sift through. Michelle Robinson Obama's ancestry is complicated, glorious, and quintessentially African-American. More »

Obama went for the media blitz yesterday morning, but it ended up as a bunch of sound and fury, signifying nothing. More »

Obama's historic visit to The Tonight Show last night went pretty well. He told cute stories about his daughters, but some cringed when he likened his shitty bowling score to the Special Olympics. More »

Despite his cynically pandering choice of Sarah Palin, John McCain is having trouble securing the female vote, as Obama has opened up a 19-point lead among women voters, according to Time. The Pew poll has Obama up by 17 points, and the Boston Globe points out that the groundswell of support for Obama among women is similar to the level of support received by "the last successful Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, when he won his second term in 1996." Two weeks ago, Obama was only up by 10 points, and Time attributes the increased lead to a shift among white women.

Joy and Babs did ask Michelle some questions about Hillary, though, like whether she believes Hills had to deal with sexism during her campaign and if she will be appointed as Barack's running mate. Michelle answered like a politician. Clip above. More »

Perhaps inspired by recent evidence of her husband's powerful effect on women voters, Michelle Obama is taking a more prominent role in her husband's campaign, which means: keeping the sluts at bay! Without once uttering a certain word rhyming with "Blenna", Lady Obama assured a room full of female campaign donors yesterday that her daughters Sasha and Malia — who at the prime blowjob-learning ages of six and eight have somehow thus managed to remain out of trouble with police — wouldn't be "dancing on tabletops."
