Conservatives criticize Michelle Obama for Oscars appearance

[ballscout1]

Last night first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise cameo at the 85th Academy Awaeds to present the award for best picture to Argo.

Introduced by legendary actor Jack Nicholson, the first lady appeared via video stream from the White House.

While her appearance was well received by the Academy Awards audience, Mrs. Obama has been receiving backlash from conservatives for partaking in the film-industry event.

Jennifer Rubin, a political blogger for the Washington Post criticized Michelle Obama’s speech.

After saying that the “first lady feels entitled,” Rubin added, “both the president and the first lady seem small and grasping.”

Conservative journalist Michelle Malkin and Fox News host Todd Starnes tweeted similar thoughts about the first lady’s role at the Oscars.

Malkin tweeted: “Can POTUS and FLOTUS just relocate the White House to Hollywood and be done with it? #oscars2013″

“Tonight was supposed to be about Hollywood – but Mrs. Obama made it about herself. #oscars,” Starnes tweeted.

Former Republican president Ronald Reagan and former first lady Laura Bush have both made Oscar appearances in the past, but the same critics of Michelle Obama quickly defended their fellow GOP members’ appearances.

In a tweet defending Reagan Malkin said: “Reagan was former president of the Screen Actors Guild. Sorry, did I miss Michelle Obama’s past career in Hollywood?”

Radio host Dana Loesch added to conversation noting that, “The left can’t produce a video of Laura Bush presenting because it doesn’t EXIST http://bit.ly/XwGUkr“

Laura Bush did not present, but she did appear in a video short about movies by Errol Morris in 2002 that aired at the Academy Awards, and during his presidency Ronald Reagan pre-taped remarks for the 1981 Academy Awards.

On the other had, there were scores of viewers watching this year’s Oscars who applauded Michelle Obama’s presentation.

@JoeSteelerFan tweeted at the first lady “In the words of Billy Crystal, “You looked marvelous” #Oscars2013″

ESPN columnist and CNN contributor L.Z. Granderson tweeted: “I hope #POTUS is cool I’m in love with #FLOTUS # Oscar2013″

And NBC’s Today Show tweeted, “Michelle Obama looks gorgeous on the Oscars screen! #flotus”

man i loved her appearance on that boring azz award show. and fuk all conservatives anyway. u can't take republicans seriously when you already KNOW what they got something to complain about whenever the president or first lady are involved regardless of the issue.

i don't give a fuk WHO the person is.....EVERYBODY does SOMETHING that you agree with. if you're a forward thinking and honest person u can admit that. but not many of those type of thinkers in the republican world

The only good thing the more these Conservatives embarrass themselves over NON-ISSUES like this they lose even more existing and potential support.

Uh yeah.

But they are a little cute with their stupidity though.
How are the Obamas "grasping"? If anything, the Oscars are the ones grasping for relevance since they called her.

Actually their stupidity and racism has gotten old.

More like

50 percent racism

50 percent because they're NOT Republicans

If it was Bill and Hillary did this you'd hear the same complaints, they'd just be worded differently!

Being knocked down to irrelevant hurts, but you know what...

TOO FUCKING BAD!!!

She wasn't there, she presented the award live via satellite from D.C..

Fuck them. They can criticize her for presenting an award FROM HOME, but ain't got shit to say about how Naval contract jobs are being cut because the rich don't want to give up their tax break.

Oh..okay..cool. I didn't watch the Oscars, I just heard about her presenting an award.

They are taking this too far. It's one thing to criticize the President! But the 1st lady???

 

[Djmarkxr7]

Where you been, White conservative women have been criticizing that fact that she shows her arms above the elbows, calling it "unladylike!"

I can understand devout Muslims doing so, they don't even allow the women who participate in sporting events show anything, but here in the good ole U S of A...

Puh-LEEZE!

 

[Djmarkxr7]

Oh..okay..cool. I didn't watch the Oscars, I just heard about her presenting an award.

They're only upset because seeing her just reminds them of the severe beatdown they took 3 months ago, if Romney had won and his wife did the same thing all you would've read was about how "resplendent she looked in red!"

Bullshit.
