What is Flotus saying?

I can only make out "...fold the flag" part. I didn't see any eyes roll and she didn't look condescending to me. After she told him that, he seemed genuinely proud of the moment. Their expressions don't match what people are saying she said and what he heard. Just my opinion.

On a side note, I'm really not a fan of hers.

Unfortunately this is EXACTLY what I was going to say.

I was thinking, "What's missing... - Oh... Right."

I think she is saying "All of this for a F_ing flag?"

Play it over and over and it will match up =) Perfectly

Eyeroll- priceless.

Someone needs to keep that beast locked up and out of the public eye, all she does is get her husband in trouble anytime she opens that big mouth.

Her face is one of commendation/respect/pride whatever the word correct description would be


Anyway, who cares what she says? She doesn't even hold an office.

I'm sure she's saying "I don't believe they're doing all that for a flag."
Pity she doesn't get it.

This is what I get!

"I don't believe they're doing all that for a flag."


Not that it matters to me, I'm in the UK and hardly care who she is anyway

Soooo....I have no agenda but only interest and amusement


Both their body language and facial expresions would work with this .....imo

i just watched the video again, can someone confirm that at first before she starts talking she has an expression of patronizing in her face ? but when she finished speaking her expression shows a kind of pity and compassion. does anybody see this, too ?

Heres my translation, match it up its word for word. in fact say it when you play the clip and see for yourself.

Michelle: "are they ever going to fold the flag"
Obama: shakes head
Michelle: rolls eyes to indicate she hopes so because its taking so long

Well I just watched the video and i didn't see an eye roll to me i saw a head shake, it looks to me like she said something like "i love how they fold that flag" and Obama agree's and she shakes her head at how intricate they do it. I haven't watched the ceremony but perhaps the flag folding is quite complicated.

This.

I'm definitely not an Obama supporter, but this depiction of the events by eyesdown was spot on with what I was seeing. I don't see anything damning in this video at all.

Yeah the way that Obama reacts is with pride, she has obviosuly said something nice about what they are doing.

Nit picking at its finest.

What or who is FLOTUS?

I think she is telling him "I found your porn mags"

Yes and yes. The new lows people are reaching to smear the President or the First Lady is amazing. Fun thread though.

Of course! She is definitely Marxist! This without a doubt proves it! The evidence is so damning!

I think she's saying, "I Don't believe they are doing this all for a false flag"
Im not sure though.

She's clearly saying "I wonder how they fold that flag".

I've seen comments, and where she's supposed to be saying "just" she has a fff making shape on her lips..
Sorry but you don't say just like fust.

"I wonder how they fold that flag"..

I love all the sweet translations here.

Those faces clearly express contempt. The furrowed brow, the shaking head, the squinty eyes. The answer, a derisive smirk.

While you decry, "anything to bash them", your fantasy is much less valid in the face of the evidence.

Your romantic notions of the motivation behind this disgusting display reveal your own prejudices, your own blindness, your own deafness in the face of reality.

Some of you are so steeped in your fantasy it's no wonder this country is spiraling downward and it will be no wonder that you're shocked when the endgame begins.

I don't care either way what the Obama's think about the American flag or their own country, I'm not American and have not deluded myself with anything, therefore I am looking at this video unbiasly and see dont see anything condesending about their expressions.

Kettle, meet the pot.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves for picking on the first lady.

Does it make you feel more secure to demonize her in such a racist way? Don't deny it.

i agree to a point, that it looks arrogant when she starts to speak, but what do you make of the expression or mimic after she ended the sentence ? dont you see some kind of pity or compassion ? if you dont, we are seeing different things.

This from somebody with fewer AfAms in their state then I've got in my neighborhood. It's clear you're an expert.
