A comment by the commander-in-chief about his wife's exercise routine sent snickers through a crowd of Hollywood's gay and lesbian elite who gathered at an LGBT Leadership Council gala in Beverly Hills on Wednesday for a fund-raiser.
After being introduced by emcee Ellen DeGeneres, Obama called the comedian "a great friend who accepts a little bit of teasing about Michelle beating her in pushups" when the First Lady appeared on her show, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"I think she claims Michelle didn't go all the way down," Obama quipped.
The audience, which included cast members from "Glee," Modern Familys Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Cher, reportedly giggled before breaking out in naughty laughter.

(27,461 posts)1. it's actually pretty sad
watch the video, it's inconceivable that he meant it that way and he clearly is pissed that his audience reacted that way. What a mortifying situation that audience put him in.

There are sooooooo many alternative punchlines to that set up. You'd think they had a tight budget for such things....

For that to be risqué.

(24,764 posts)7. My take is that it's a blooper--and a hilarious one at that!
An unintentional double entendre, at worst.
Repukes, with their collective dirty mind syndrome, will read something sexual into it. I guarantee it.
