Michelle Obama Rolls Her Eyes at John Boehner

Clip of FLOTUS giving Speaker the stinkeye goes viral

During the inauguration day luncheon at the White House, Michelle Obama gave several very pronounced eyerolls, apparently in response to bon mots from John Boehner.

There's no audio to go with the visual footage, so it's anyone's guess what Boehner is saying, but at one point he seems to make a joke at which President Obama laughs.

But apparently the First Lady and the Speaker agreed on one thing over lunch: they had no truck with a long speech from the POTUS: "Michelle and the speaker of the House came to a meeting of the minds that I may be delaying the proceedings too much," Obama said. "And so I'm just going to be extraordinarily brief and say thank you."

You can watch the First Eyerolls here.

@Malitia_Man Look we all have a role to play. If a repub messed up it would be blamed on obama. If we fail to blame bush for this then we'll get attacked as negligent and lazy...

Never thought I would ever agree with you but I do. We should expect a First Lady to behave with more decorum than that however. As the former debutante ex always liked to say 'Breeding will tell'

John probably saying "Hey Michelle, we all this over lets go somewhere." Michelle gave him an eye roll and said, "Johnny, later tonight okay, I promise, now cool yourself down.

Politics means you have to share a table with people that you hate. Maybe Mr. Boehner was complimenting the chef for his serving of crow.

@Mogal but they are the first to point the finger, blaming the liberals for the divisiveness in our country right now. They are the first to say liberals are dividing the country by race.
And they wonder why they lost the election and continue to lose support everyday.

Without context, who knows? I can't make a judgement call on someones actions when I don't even know what happened.

Also, why should I care who rolls their eyes at who? Are we really that petty?

She probably smelled the thick stench of whiskey on him that he often has, and he was as usual, DRUNK! Figures how the rightwingers constantly defend this drunk even though he and his fellow republicans destroyed our national and world economy for the benefit of their elitist donors, and eventhough they ruined our world reputation with badly run wars, torture, and ...well, more dysfunctional behavior from "W", who is what is called a "dry drunk".

Go to rehab, Boehner!!

Childish? Or the truth! We all know Boehner is the first in Congress to get to the bar every night. That's just a fact. We all know "W" quit drinking due to a "problem" and is known for cocaine when he was younger. We also know the GOP presided over the worst economic crash since the Great Depression" (which incidentally, for those who know their history, was ALSO caused by the republicans de-regulating and cutting taxes for the rich), and we all have seen Boehner crying almost monthly, sometimes weekly, for barely any reason. C'mon, get serious!

You know what really is childish? You posting a name-calling post without even an attempt at even one counter-argument! Of course, you don't have one and you know I'm right. You just couldn't admit it to yourself so you childishly denigrated my post without a shred of evidence. Better get out of denial or the GOP will sell you and our economy yet again for the benefit of their rich donors.

@Jimiracle So he's the first one at the bar every night and thats a 'fact'? Prove it. Bush did coke? So what? Obama admits to it in his books, why is it suddenly an issue? Also, how may pictures of there of ol Barry boy floating around with a giant joint in his mouth?

LOL! It's well-known! Boehner even has a favorite haunt he goes to nearly every night. And Bush was known not for just use of cocaine but excessive use, hardly the same as experimentation of drugs and turning away from drugs like Obama did.

And so what?! We had a dry drunk as president for 8 years who was in denial, drinking near-beer (was choking on a pretzel a relapse event?) and embarrassing himself and us the world over, without getting treatment for his condition. His VP got drunk and shot his friend in the face while duck-hunting! Yeah, no big deal? LOL!

Go to rehab, Boehner!

And a couple of weeks ago when Boehner entered the Fiscal Cliff meeting by telling Harry Reed to go f**k himself? What was that? FLOTUS treated him far better than he deserves.

I really do hope 'Bo' their dog was not on the menu...no one's seen him in awhile...
maybe that was the question Boehner was asking, where has Bo been? Maybe
she had a pang of guilt and just "rolled her eyes" to play it down. I hope not. I do

What a ridiculous poll, Politix. Without knowing what was said and to whom, there is no way of knowing if her eye roll was over something Mr. Boehner said, or over something her husband said. What wife doesn't roll her eyes when her husband pontificates?
