Ear Hustlin’: The Real Reason Michelle Obama Rolled Her Eyes @ John Boehner
For the past few days, folk have been buzzing and poking fun at the eye roll that First Lady Michelle Obama gave Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, at the inauguration luncheon. And while we’ve all speculated about why she rolled her eyes at John, now we’ve learned the inside scoop on what motivated entertaining shade.Here’s what happened. Michelle sat forward in her chair, allowing her husband, sitting to her right, and Boehner, to her left, to exchange a few words. She seemed annoyed with the banter, then rolled her eyes.
