Obama for America: Hi, Tumblr. »

barackobama:

It’s nice to meet you.

There are lots of reasons we’re excited to be launching the Obama 2012 campaign’s new Tumblr today. But mostly it’s because we’re looking at this as an opportunity to create something that’s not just ours, but yours, too.

We’d like this Tumblr to be a huge collaborative storytelling effort—a place for people across the country to share what’s going on in our respective corners of it and how we’re getting involved in this campaign to keep making it better.

It’s possible because of Tumblr’s submission feature.

You can send us a few paragraphs about how your latest phonebanking gig went or why you’re in for 2012. Share the latest chart you saw that made you go “woah.” Ask a question. Upload a photo of 2012 t-shirts or signs you see out in the wild. Pass along jokes, particularly if they’re funny. And if you’re among the Tumbl-inclined, send us posts you’ve published on your own Tumblr that we should look at re-blogging.

There will be trolls among you: this we know. We ask only that you remember that we’re people—fairly nice ones—and that your mother would want you to be polite.

Thanks, Tumblr. We’re looking forward to getting to know you.

Hey, guys, this isn’t sex-related, but the US president has a tumblr that ya’ll should follow.

Michelle Obama, Carla Bruni talk sex »

A new book claims they got into an uncomfortable conversation about their bedroom behavior when they first met

Now here’s a funny tidbit from today’s lady news: Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni reportedly had a rather improper conversation when they first met. According to the upcoming book, “The Promise: President Obama, Year One” by Jonathan Alter, Bruni ”delighted in telling friends that she shocked Michelle Obama at their first meeting” by regaling her with a tale about how she and her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, “once kept another foreign leader waiting while they finished having sex.” 

The book, reports CNN, explains that Bruni, who has recently battled rumors of an affair, “wanted to know if, like the Sarkozys, Michelle and the president had ever kept anyone waiting that way.” Obama was more circumspect: She “laughed nervously and said no.” You see, kids, there is more than one way to be a lady.

If I was a foriegn leader, I wouldn’t mind waiting for the hot French Presidential couple to finish their fornicating. After all, business can wait.
