The Obama administration has been expected to jump through hoops, but this is ridiculous!

Thanks, KT! I wondered if you would pick this one. (I also wonder if more light posts like “1000 words”, etc. would help diffuse the, ahem, tension such as from yesterday / JNS post, but I digress.) Did you see this from the “Today” show? Inspired by Michelle, Natalie Morales and Erin Burnett try hoops. Natalie wins, but Michelle has nothing to fear.

This photo was taken just before Amy arrived. She took a golden hoop and made it spin above her head like a halo without touching it.
.
Just out of view: Harry Reid joined in, spinning 10 hoops at once. Michelle is impressed. “Harry, where'd ya learn that?” “Oh, I'm used to spinning around in circles and going nowhere.”

The winner gets a plate of french fries fixed by Amy. (Michelle ends up kicking butt.)
.
Levi Johnston wanted to join in and make a hoop spin vertically off his …well, let's just say Michelle said no way.
.
Sarah Palin had joined in but she was the first to quit.
.
Just out of view: drug and HC insurance top brass playing with hoops. Instead of spinning them, they hold them up for their pet Senators to jump through, and then give them treats.

Or you can watch the First Lady's amazing grace with the hulahoop -- she reportedly did 140 revolutions on the hoop -- on http://www.RealityChex.com (way down the center column)

After hula hoop demonstration, right wingers unanimously decide to to replace "the messiah" with "lord of the rings"

This photo was taken after Amy, KT, and Jay were quietly escorted away for trouncing Michelle at hula hoops and risking the First Lady losing face to America's young girls. 140 spins for MO? Pfffffft. KT warms up at 200. With the swampwomen, like the Pinball Wizard, with hula hoops you never see ‘em fall.

First garden vegetables, then staying in school, now hula hoops, next global domination: control the children and you control the world.

Michelle: “I'll bet Tom DeLay can't do this.”

Oh great, now the Obama's are trying to turn 'merica into the foreign country of Hawaii

Michelle suggested hula hoops to replace Sarah Palin's idea of lawn darts. The Bidens wanted croquet but Michelle was worried that some (including Sarah) would take the idea of whacking other people's balls with a mallet literally.

After Chicago lost the Olympic bid, Michelle found something else to do with the rings.

Michelle modestly admits she was the inspiration for Cirque du Soleil's show "O"

From the Olympic Committee: Although the Obama's didn't bring home the Olympics, we think that MIchelle shows enough potential to be awarded the 2012 Gold Medal in gymnastics.

For the fist time in my life I'm proud of country. Please pass me dat tub o' fries.

oops. my country

Unusual to see her smile. Probably gas.

Michelle "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country" Obama puts on a hula hoop, and, predictably, the useful idiots/feminists (male and female) of the Washington press corps swoon. This bit by the angry, bitter, militant inspired two dimwits on the Today show to emulate their adored heroine (i.e., Michelle Obama) and demonstrate their lack of hula hoop skills.

Was there ever any doubt that she "has the moves?" I mean totally, like, she's awesome!

THIS is the healthcare public option?

Rush left with his head down because the press thought his hoop was a belt.
