One of my sources in the White House recently overheard the following conversation between The President and The First Lady:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michelle Obama: "Barack - come away from that window & sit down to supper. The Russian prime minister is waiting!"

President Obama: (Without looking away from the window) "Please tell him I'm monitoring a very important strategic situation & that I'll be down in 15 minutes."

Michelle Obama:
(With hands on hips) "Barack! Watching The Spin-Offs play is HARDLY a 'very important strategic situation!'"

President Obama: "Says you woman!"
