I don’t know if you caught the new Pres. Obama and wife Michelle dancing on camera at yesteday’s gala inauguration extravanganza, but I must say that I’m not sure Lady Obama has had any formal training in the art of ballroom dance.
With millions of viewers across the world looking on, do you think — if you were Michelle Obama — it might have been wise to have studied a few steps with your husband before stepping out solo to ballroom dance as the showcase couple of honor?
If you’ve ever anticipated your own wedding, sometimes dancing before a group is contemplated. Well-prepared couples actually take lessons in ballroom before the spotlight hits them. That’s a wedding.
This was an INAUGURATION….to perhaps the highest position in the United States…to who many feel is the leader country of the free world. Did Lady Obama show that she could even perform on the dance floor with minimal proficiency?
I would especially like to hear from those trained in ballroom dancing as to your review of Michelle Obama’s “performance” on the dance floor at the Inauguration.
And was Michelle leading…or was Barack?
Interesting observation as to who will REALLY be in charge of future decisions from the White House….

Who cares?
Being our president has nothing to do with dancing!
I’ve never seen John F. Kennedy dance, but I see G. W. Bush dancing all the time!
In fact, I’m GLAD they can’t dance! It gets in the way of leading.
who cares!
Yes they put Black people to shame with that two step they did. It was a hot mess.They really should have taken the time to get a few lessons.
Not all professional ballroom dancers get to be the First Lady or President.
probably
but it really dosent matter
I saw the videos and yes, they could both use dancing lessons, but then so do 98 percent of all Americans.
They did the two step the way THE TWO STEP was supposed to be done, so I don’t think that they need lessons; and for the person that said that they put BLACK PEOPLE TO SHAME, please answer this question? SINCE WHEN WAS THE TWO STEP ONLY FOR BLACK PEOPLE? why don’t you try running a campaign for two years and preparing your staff immediately after winning an election, then preparing for your inauguration, let’s see how you come out dancing, I personally think that President Obama is a good dancer, considering what he just went through, it’s as stressful as hell.
I have to agree with cutie!
Comparatively speaking – they both did fine.
More importantly – I thinke they dance together – for each other – and not for spectators . . .
An incredible moment – held in the arms of each other.
Pretty cool – I think.
WHO THE HELL CARES! They had so much going on on that day. I thought their dance was beautifully. They dance at 11 balls! People be for real and QUIT BITCHIN about everything.
