Chances are high that this very amusing story is made up, but it’s funny as anything and we’re not above repeating it. Michelle Obama has supposedly told her husband off for the fact that he was caught with a roving eye at the G8 summit in Italy. The National Enquirer reports that she told him he better watch it, or people will remember him for the fact that he was busted ogling a teen’s butt instead of the work he’s doing:

First Lady Michelle Obama ripped into her husband Barack after he and French Prez Nicolas Sarkozy were caught gawking at the behind of a pretty 17-year-old at the G8 Summit in Italy, The ENQUIRER has learned.

The “Tail-gate” episode made Obama and Sarkozy the “butt” of jokes across the world as the photo spread like wildfire over the Internet. But it was no laughing matter at home, according to friends of Michelle.

“After she saw the picture, she exploded at Barack behind closed doors and snapped, ‘See, all the hard work you’ve done – and this is what they’re going to remember this trip by. Who do you think you are – Bill Clinton?’” revealed a source.

“Michelle really let him have it. All Barack could do was try to get out of earshot. She verbally berated him for several minutes.”

While TV commentators studied video of the event and debated Once again, The ENQUIRER is first to report the hottest news. over whether Obama was really catching a sneak peek, The ENQUIRER got down to the bottom of the international incident.

Top body-language expert Patti Wood, author of Success Signals, told us: “President Obama was displaying a ‘full gesture cluster,’ which means that every major body part has some signal that shows his attraction to her rear end.

“His head is moving toward her rear end, as well as his eye contact. His right arm is out away from his body toward her, and his pelvis – that’s the most significant – is fully twisted toward her as if he wants to encompass the rear end.

“His outer knee is significant because it shows how he wants to go toward her as well. There’s absolutely no mistaking his attraction to her.”

The teen, identified as Mayara Tavares, a student from Rio de Janeiro, was one of 54 youngsters who were allowed to speak on global issues.

And while Obama and his French counterpart were painted as dirty old men across the world, the teen’s father Eduardo says he harbors no ill will toward the world leaders.

“She’s not only pretty, she’s articulate, confident and very engaged in her work,” says the proud dad.

The news channels analyzed this video, and Obama supposedly wasn’t checking out the girls’ ass at all because if you watch him afterwards it looks like his eyes are down to watch his footing. (See video above.) Sarkozy, on the other hand, was doing an obvious booty check. I don’t know, though, and I think that Obama was probably looking at that girl’s butt for a second or two and just smoothly tried to cover it up by moving his eyes to the ground. It’s hard to tell. Either way, you can see how it would make his wife mad. I know I would chew my husband out for that, especially if was even a fraction as public as this.

The nation and the media have long moved on, though, and now people are watching Obama to see what he’ll do next with the plan for healthcare reform. Obama’s interview with Meredith Viera aired this morning on The Today Show. He answered some tough questions about healthcare reform, and said that in order to move forward the nation will most likely have to increase taxes for those making $280,000 a year and up. Meredith did not seem happy about the fact that her taxes could be raised and asked Obama if he was punishing the rich. The interview lightened up a little later when she asked him about the dorky loose jeans he was wearing to throw out the first pitch at the MLB All-star baseball game . He explained “I am a little frumpy. Up until a few years ago, I only had four suits. She used to tease me because they would get really shiny. I hate to shop. Those jeans are comfortable, and for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I’m sorry, I’m not the guy. It just doesn’t fit me. I’m not 20.” But he can still check out a hot girl with the best of them, I bet.
