I am having dinner with Michelle Obama tonight

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I am having dinner with Michelle Obama tonight (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 6/23/2011 6:58:53 AM EDT

She will be in attendance at a dinner I am at this evening.

I will get the chance to say hello to her, at least briefly.

What should I say in my 60 seconds? (and no, I am not fluent in wookie)

I dunno, say hello and be polite and respectful, as the First Lady should be treated?

Ask her how Han Solo is doing.

What can you say in 60 seconds that's gonna mean anything and not get you tackled and pounded by the Praetorian Guard?

I'd just say "Nice to meet you. Hope you're not there in 2012."

thank her for helping ruin this country. That hopey changey thing was awesome!

Tell her a funny joke... and, when she laughs, say Yuck it up, Fuzzball.

Respect is earned, not instantly given because of an office that you were given by association with someone else who was elected.

I would not even go.

I would just pass on talking to her. Respectfully decline more than a handshake.

Thats just me.

That is completely untrue, in almost every instance. the whole 'respect is earned' is so much bullcrap its not even funny. It may be true on a personal level, but certainly not professional.

10,000,000 internet points if you get your picture taken with her while you're dressed as Han Solo.

Guess it depends on your profession.

Sneak in ahead of time with masking tape and put a hopsquatch pattern on the floor.

I wasn't aware that there was an Office of the First Lady.

I don't understand all the hate for her.

Disagree with her husband's politics, yes, but why take that all out on her?

Laugh at her, turn around and get a drink.

Whatever you say should end with a pensive "well... bye".

She is The First Lady of the United States, and deserves the upmost respect, regardless of personal indifferences.

But nothing is stopping you asking her how to do The Dougie

Critique her choice of foods, tell her it's not healthy enough and suggest more healthy alternatives, then eat an ice cream cone or some other non-nutritious snack where she can see.

Or ask her "what's the deal with that picture on the internet of Obama checking out that hot girl's ass in the purple dress?"

I would skip the receiving line. Then again, I would probably skip the event if I knew she was showing up.

"And let me tell you something –– for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

Respect that?

POUND SAND WOOKIE!

Always be very nice to the people who have dismantled America piece by piece. Tell her you look forward to a declining lifestyle year after year. Your kids will spit on your grave.

Oh, and tell her 10mm says, "Fuck you and obozo". Thanks.

Wookies cannot just walk past a hopscotch pattern, they're genetically programmed for hopscotch.

True story.

I don't think I could handle that opportunity. No way I could let her think I was just one of the huddled masses worshiping her communist racist thieving ass.

You have a very delicate and huge opportunity. Hopefully you send her home with a mental memory of what you said and manage to stay out of the headlines.

I would think of something write it down and practice the situation.

This is a pretty good idea..

"Good job helping ruin my country. That hopey changey thing was awesome!"

Or you could throw in your children's future or something.

Tell her that she would do better to follow her own dietary advice and take some weight off of that giant ass. Lead by example, Ms. Spare Ribs.

Her ass, I don't mean Barack.

I'd avoid the socialist cunt like the plague.

Ask her if there is any truth to the rumor that Wookies don't like to lose.

[#38]

it's fun to say "what if" on the internet...

but if I were in your shoes, I'd probably avoid contact altogether. If you have as much disdain for her politics, ideology and her husband as we all do, you'll probably feel sick when seeing her in person and really not want to shake her hand or pretend to be wooed by Her Majesty. You're not going to change her mind on anything, or "make a point" that she would be receptive to, and you're not going to represent "the other side" well in a 60 second time frame with anything but sterile professional courtesy - that to which you would extend to any smelly, hairy God-awfully ugly stranger on the street.

Any comment, action or display on your part would come off as juvenile, inappropriate and/or a security threat - resulting in your embarrassing yourself in front of everyone else that may know you, and of course getting your oil checked by the SS. So...

Hang back, enjoy the food, avoid the Wookie politics and have a good time.

There is only one right answer.

You say hello in the most polite, respectful manner possible.

Or, as Han put it, "Let the wookee win."

This is a perfect answer.
