BURBANK, Calif. – What's President Barack Obama's most annoying habit?
Practicing his speeches for hours in front of the bathroom mirror? Talking
too much foreign policy at the dinner table?
No _ first lady Michelle Obama said Friday it's his tennis game. When they
play, the president usually wins.
"He beats me quite often," she said on NBC's "The Jay Leno Show," appearing
via satellite hookup from the White House. "That gets to be pretty
annoying."
The show was taped for airing later Friday evening.
In a brief skit, Leno pushed her to talk about her husband's flaws. At first,
she sarcastically said he has none.
"He's perfect," she quipped.
Then she let it out: It's their battles on the tennis court that get her
peeved.
It also looks like Bo _ the Obamas' dog _ is living like a king. The first
lady said the presidential pooch celebrated his first birthday earlier this
month with a Rose Garden party.
Bo, a Portuguese water dog, feasted on a cake shaped like a dog house that
was made out of veal.
"We had a really sweet celebration," the first lady told Leno. "We had party
hats."
The first lady told Leno there are White House secrets she will never reveal
_ she refused to divulge what daughters Malia and Sasha are wearing for
Halloween.
"You need security clearance for that," she said.
Leno also wanted to know what she whispers to her husband after his
speeches.
"I usually ask him did he take out the garbage," she said.
