Cracked. Me. Up:
BBC: A young boy was rendered speechless when he met First Lady Michelle Obama in Dublin on Monday.
The boy, named only as Billy, was dumbstruck with shyness when he met her backstage at the Gaiety Theatre.
…. Rebecca Morgan, aged 11 and a pupil in Moneygall National School in County Offaly – US President Barack Obama’s ancestral homeland – revealed her classmate’s embarrassment.
“She is so beautiful and very tall,” the 11-year-old said. “She looks even prettier in real life than on TV.
“A boy in my class was really embarrassed when she touched Billy’s hand because he thinks she is so beautiful. He was so shy.”

Note where he wonders if President Obama’s supporters would be enthused enough in 2012 “to get out of bed” and vote …. oh boy.
…. and not once in the entire interview did the ‘king’ of civil liberties mention GOP voter suppression efforts.
But, hey, not an issue that concerns him, of course.
