I wish I could’ve concentrated on Obama’s speech last night, but Cheri Oteri played Nancy Pelosi so flawlessly it took my breath away. Didn’t Biden look slightly annoyed when she jumped up again, immediately after Joe just got comfy in his seat?
Every time they showed the gorgeous First Lady my attention went straight to the mystery little person on her left. Well, okay. My attention split between Michelle’s unbelievable biceps and the story problem of the little person next to her.
Is that Michelle’s Mother? I know she looks way too young, but but…
Who IS that?!?
Is she an adult or a child? The hair and the suit scream octogenarian, but the questionable height…
Next thing I knew Obama was signing autographs and I feared a veritable intern stampede ala the fateful ACDC concert featured in a WKRP episode in my youth…

Yesterday morning upon waking, Just-two informed me that “Ba’ak OMama drinks his coffee”
I can’t wait to see all the skits this week about Pelosi. Amazing material.
I only saw the first few minutes of the speech. I did see that woman though and wondered who she was.
HA! I thought that tiny person next to Michelle was a woman, too, not a little girl!! She was so serious.
I did actually love that Michelle and that little girl wore dresses of the same kind of material, in the same color pallet.
I know it’s a rough time in the economy, but I am just so in love with being alive at this point in history!

I love the fact your little one calls him “Ba’ak OMama” my daughter calls him “Uncle Bama”
CORRECTION: It was THE WHO not AC/DC (Thanks, Clare!)
Panic, I know, right?
Joanie, I emailed you but she was a grade-school kid. Oddest thing ever.
Pearl, my mom thought the same thing. I laughed hysterically about it for way too long. Me, too. This is unchartered territory.
Heather, Or “Rock YOMama” as Tony’s nephew calls him from Life with Tony.
When Obama was telling the short woman’s story, Michelle kept on down at her with such a nice accepting smile and short woman didn’t give Michelle the time of day!!! She totally dissed her. Michelle tried many times to elicit a response from short woman. What was up with that???? Even after the “story” when Michelle was hugging short woman, she didn’t break into a smile!!!!
I was yelling at her to smile!!! I think i even threw my running sneakers at the TV!!!!
Yaknow, it’s a sad microcosm of society when you see a political figure and automatically think of them as an SNL character… Only smarter. You can thank Will Ferrell’s Dubya for that.
I somehow don’t expect Obama to suffer that stigma, however.
all I can say is Saturday Night Live. this weekend. be there.
Cheri Oteri as Nancy Pelosi. Fantastic.
Yeah, I really felt kind of sorry for poor Joe. Every standing ovation he looked like “Sheesh, didn’t we JUST do this?!”
Uh-Oh… I wish I had watched the whole speech now instead of turning the channel to Rock Of Love Bus.
I am a terrible person who will burn in Hell. Forever wondering who the tiny woman was that she didn’t see but heard about on a blog. Well, maybe. I kinda doubt that fate is set in stone, though.
You are like me…I always pay more attention to the people around. I think Nancy was just trying to upstage Joe…that or she had hemorrhoids.
I was wondering the same thing myself! I mentioned you in my blog today. Take a peek! 😉
