Perhaps do the Hustle? As Twitchy reported, First Lady Michelle Obama said that the president would “shake his groove thing” at a Latin music concert scheduled for Monday evening. The event was finally canceled after the tragic events at the Washington Navy Yard.
Iowahawk couldn’t help but point out another distressing part of FLOTUS’s remark. Take it away, Iowahawk!
"Shake his groove thing"? Boy, they really have embraced the total suckitude of 1978.

You really can't properly shake your groove thing unless it's in a lime green leisure suit, inside a beige Mustang II.

But that’s not all this giver offered. He also gave a lesson on how to find a journalist that one can trust. Paging Chuck Todd! Maybe this will help:
I don't trust jounalists until they pose for promo pictures sideways in teams with their arms crossed. #Authority

@iowahawkblog I choose my NFL analysts based on whether they all have rollicking good time with each other in their Kyron promos.
