This is complete nonsense. I've put the video link of the whole performance below. The dance takes place around 25 minutes. She asks the president for a dance and then she goes to Michelle to kind of ask permission and they clasp hands and Michelle is obviously laughing. The president never touches Thalia. And he doesn't dance very long. As she gets a little closer but not close, he turns while waving his hand and goes back to his seat.

The kids are laughing, but I couldn't see Michelle at that point, but a second or so later there's a shot of them where there's no doubt he's talking to Michelle and she's laughing--looks like at whatever he is saying or doing. Another shot not long afterwards and they are still laughing together.

The right-wingers have been trying to pin that angry bit on her since early in the primary. I saw one video of her when she gave a speech while introducing her husband probably in Iowa and talked about fear. It was a good speech, but she uses some fairly graphic facfial expressions. When he came out, he was really beaming at her.

They can't find any personal dirt to pin on either one of them so they make stuff up. But it is very discouraging that Huffington Post would perpetuate such a thing.

Thalia is not petite. She is pretty and sexy, but not petite.

I didn't see the Huffington Post piece myself, but I recall past experiences when there were negative posters. It hurts the discussion because eventually it degenerates into simply back and forth slams and defense.

I think it is a shame that Michelle has to be so guarded, but such is the first lady's burden She carries it off beautifully, but she is a much grander person than what we are allowed to see.
