Barry--I went from being a lawyer to being a landscaper.
Not exactly the change I was looking for!

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 8:48 AM.

Yes, this *is* how I get my amazing arms--and I have earned the right to show them off!

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 8:50 AM.

No, I don't want to hear how "cute" I look when I break a sweat!

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 8:52 AM.

This wasn't what I was looking for when I asked you to talk dirty to me the other night...

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 8:53 AM.

"I'm getting dirty and doing all of the work while you just sit there grinning... It's our wedding night all over again."

said LostInDaJungle on April 30, 2009 9:19 AM.

No, I didn't hide your cigarettes here.

--or--

Raising the shrub on Suribachi swamp.

--or--

Oh, so I'm holding the shovel wrong? Wanna see me hold it over your head?

said Kevin L. on April 30, 2009 9:30 AM.

Did you have to drag your little photographer buddy out here with you?

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 9:35 AM.

Spade?? Whatchu talking about Obama?

said LostInDaJungle on April 30, 2009 9:37 AM.

Honey, why do you need to find Vince Foster's body anyway?

said LostInDaJungle on April 30, 2009 9:40 AM.

I don't give a good god damn if you are POTUS. Don't just stand there, help plant this god damn tree!

said Jonniewalker on April 30, 2009 9:45 AM.

"I can guarantee that I'm the first First Lady to carry a spade that doesn't have the word 'Kate' in front of it"

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 9:58 AM.

Once we successfully bury the last of the inventory of Popeye's Chicken, we'll end racism forever.

said Don't Swayze Bro on April 30, 2009 10:16 AM.

Honey, stop calling it a dirt deficit. It is an "inverted mound of plenty." Don't make me blame this on Bush!

said Don't Swayze Bro on April 30, 2009 10:18 AM.

After we're done here later tonight I get anal.
You hear me? No matter how neat I want the house you have to clean it.

said valeriob on April 30, 2009 10:20 AM.

Swayze-good one.

Not a caption, but notice how Michelle holds the shovel. The Right hand pulling in like she's rowing a boat??

What you have is someone who has never used a shovel pretending to use it while posing for a photo op.
It's kind of like watching a community organizer who has never done anything, stand behind a teleprompter, while pretending to be the commander and chief.

said Dave on April 30, 2009 10:37 AM.

'My wife, I think I'll keep her.'

said E on April 30, 2009 11:15 AM.

Michelle "Great--I'm holding the shovel the way that Hillary said she did when she buried all of the Whitewater evidence, and this Dave guy is saying I'm doing it wrong. I think she's trying to sabotage me"

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 11:33 AM.

"You promised me that if I posed wrong for the photo op Dave would come out here and show me how a muscular ranch handyman does it"

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 11:35 AM.

Men have been doing the tough yardwork for years. This is change we can believe in.

said E on April 30, 2009 11:40 AM.

DSB - Very nice!

said Tim on April 30, 2009 12:01 PM.

Most of the 'green' efforts of the Obama administration involve relocating the Blagojevich Thai Stick Lagoon to the swamps of Eastern Virginia.

said Tim on April 30, 2009 12:07 PM.

Is this your idea of "shovel ready projects"?

said JediJeff on April 30, 2009 12:19 PM.

Their white, and its a cotton plant Michelle....How are you not catching the irony?!?!

said J-Train on April 30, 2009 12:34 PM.

"It's just a trust exercise, Michelle. As soon as they pull the tree out of the hole, I want you to get in the hole."

said Tim on April 30, 2009 12:42 PM.

Just because the American people elected you doesn't mean I have to put out tonight. Wipe that silly grin off of your face and gt to work!

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 1:00 PM.

(get)

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 1:01 PM.

If looks could kill, Obama would be the next JFK.

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 1:08 PM.

No, I *cannot* borrow Condi's dominatrix boots to do yard work in.

said sarcastic one on April 30, 2009 1:09 PM.

"And next time you guys disrespect me you will have to dig the hole 5 feet deeper."

said B-Rad on April 30, 2009 1:34 PM.

How fitting: Draining the Beltway swamp...by digging deeper.

said Don't Swayze Bro on April 30, 2009 1:35 PM.

"Save the environment. Plant a Bush back in Texas."

said E on April 30, 2009 1:58 PM.

Wipe that patronizing grin off yer face, loverboy, or YOU are going in this next hole.

said rob on April 30, 2009 5:25 PM.

said phatlard on May 1, 2009 12:44 AM.

I'll help only if you promise that tonight you'll rub my stimulus package.

said stimul1 on May 1, 2009 7:14 AM.
