Did the president just make an oral sex joke?
At a fundraiser in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Barack Obama made a joke
that could be interpreted as a reference to the First Lady's oral sex skills.
The president was talking about how Michelle was better at push-ups than he was
when he added: 'because she doesn't go all the way down.'

The president was referring to an appearance on the 'Ellen DeGeneres Show' in February
in which the First Lady challenged DeGeneres to a push-up contest.
'I want to thank my wonderful friend Ellen, who accepts a little bit of teasing about Michelle
beating her in pushups but I think Ellen claims Michelle didn’t go all the way down.'

"Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well", the President said, “BECAUSE she doesn’t go all
the way down!” -- a line that he let hang, naughtily, provoking laughter from the crowd.
Political reporters immediately picked up on the obscene reference.
'I hope @MichelleObama yells at @BarackObama tonight. Or at least withholds pushups,'
twteeted Meredith Shiner, a reporter for Roll Call.
