I’m guessing that that anchorwoman wasn’t familiar with the vernacular meaning of the term “fisting”.

Well, Michelle Obama does have broad hips so I guess anything is possible. Nothing says Valentines Day without a little fisting action between the pres and his wife.

What, you expect a married couple to be celibate for four to eight years? Of course they do the nasty. And as to what birth control they use or what their favorite position is, I’d say MYOB.

Newsweek did a pretty in depth story on the election campaign shortly after it was over, and there was small aside in it about how Barack would sometimes get start to get stressed out and irritable by the campaign, but then whenever he was able to spend a night with Michelle, he would always emerge in a much better mood in the morning. I believe the article commented on how Obama’s staff would kind of quietly smile at his change in demeanor after a night with his wife.
