The Strangest Headline to Come Out of Last Night!
Michelle Obama thanks Swedish women fans
WASHINGTON (AFP)—Michelle Obama was slightly bemused Monday when asked by a journalist to say a word to Swedish women, who are apparently among her biggest fans.
But she quickly recovered her composure before a posse of journalists as she did a walk-through of the Denver center where she was to give the keynote speech on the opening night of the Democratic Party convention.
"Tell them thank you, and they are in my prayers," she said, holding the hands of her daughters Malia, 10 and Sasha, seven.

With his well-knonw love of Abba, I really thought John McCain would have locked up the Swedish woman demographic.
She has Swedish fans? What does it all mean?!
Come punditry! Spin, monkeys! Spin!!!
I can see the Republican attacks on this already.
Very low comment count for HitnRun for the past 5 posts.
Besides the fact the convention is boring, any other ideas why?
Because having two separate blogs with clunky navigation does that.
They're in her prayers? Is there a genocide in Sweden I don't know about?
See, I think this makes her more relateable. Who hasn't had to deal with the adulation of Swedish women?
Or is that just me?
SHES LOVED BY SOCIALISTS! SOCIALIST EUROPEANS!

Hear that, Matt? This convention site layout is stupid*. You really should either provide direct links or just cram it all on the Hit & Run page.
* no offense, but it is
Who hasn't had to deal with the adulation of Swedish women?
NutraSweet. But I know where you're coming from, dude.
Who doesn't pray for Swedish women? Or possibly blond Danish and Finnish women?
Michelle,
Vil not trei holiday in Sweden? See the loveli lakes. And the wonderful telephone system.
[praying desperately]
Please God, please Allah, please Budda!!!
Who knew that Jonah Goldberg is an H&R troll?
Isn't "Swedish women fans" a synonymn for "heterosexual male?"
As a fan of Swedish women, you're welcome, Michelle.
I can see it. Every night when Michelle retires, she hits her knees and asks God to watch over Barack, the girls, and the Swedish women. Of course.
Wow, Socialist and secular. Pray, Michelle, can't do no harm !
What comes after being slightly bemused, and how does one determine the transition from not being bemused at all to being slightly bemused? Do her come uncrossed?
her eyes dammit, her eyes
