You are freaking joking. Michelle Obama shoehorns herself into Best Picture award? (And I'd think this was stupid if it were Ann Romney)

Shark. Jumped. First Lady Michelle Obama announces the Oscar for Best Picture for Argo. Can't we just have one thing without politics?

Nope, those days have long passed us by.

That Michelle Obama thing was entirely unnecessary. #oscars

Michelle Obama on Fallon and now presenting at the Oscars. I know how PR works; she definitely has an album coming out soon.

That, or another expensive Big Government initiative to roll out.
OK I am done. Just left the room. What the hell? is Michelle in the movies. Just can't leave it alone.Now a speech. Shut up.

For The First Time In My Life…..I've seen the Best Picture Award upstaged by a self-serving White House.

Mrs. Obama’s appearance follows her Friday night dance-off with Jimmy Fallon and her smooch-in with Chris Christie tonight.
Big Government busybodies, busy bees. The White House-Hollywood industrial complex is riding high.
If someone doesn't get the problem of #FLOTUS involvement in #oscars, they are people I don't want to talk with.

Total fusion of media power and government power, what could possibly go wrong?

Re FLOTUS at Oscars: Forget separation of church and state — we need a separation of Hollywood and state.

Liberal water-carriers for the Obamas rushed to point out that Ronald Reagan appeared at the Oscars. Um, yeah, never mind that he actually made a living as an actor in Hollywood. Derp:
White House defense of FLOTUS's appearance, if needed: Reagan did it too — first term, at that http://t.co/D3IZA1PRYW

@jhf5 @JRubinBlogger Gee, John. I'm pretty sure Reagan had been an actor. Made sense for him to be involved w/Oscars.
— Bill Hobbs (@billhobbs) February 25, 2013
@BuzzFeedAndrew Reagan was an actor & Pres of SAG. An appearance from him makes sense. FDR & M.Obama not so much.

Gigglesnort:
It's like the Obama's only do public things the Reagan's did so that when they face GOP criticism they can just hold up a picture or two.

Update: Who arranged the FLOTUS cameo? Lib Hollywood power player Harvey Weinstein.
Who was behind Michelle Obama's #Oscars appearance? Harvey Weinstein, and his daughter Lilly, THR has learned: http://t.co/Y39Ea7XKGx
