Aww: Lance Corporal Aaron Leeks Asks First Lady Michelle Obama To The Marine Corps Ball

Video
» 20 comments

During a Toys-for-Tots drive in Washington, DC, 26-year-old Lance Corporal Aaron Leeks worked up the courage to ask the First Lady to next year’s Marine Corps Ball. Do not let it be said that the dude doesn’t plan things out well in advance.

Leeks told First Lady Michelle Obama that he would love to escort her to the annual event, but only “with your husband’s permission, of course.”

She responded positively, even offering the young man a hug and bringing over an aide to get his information.

White House press secretary Jay Carney, meanwhile, said Friday that “if the President’s watching this, this may be the first he’s heard of it,” but added that he was sure the First Lady was “was flattered by the invitation.”

Have a look at Leeks’ invitation, via CBS News:

    LOL, every public figure is now afraid of being asked this because they know they can’t decline.

    Now, lets see this thread turn a perfectly innocent story into Partisan Hackery! Are the Partisan Trolls of Mediaite ready? Okay, GO!

    Very gracious of the First Lady – it takes a real understanding of people for someone in her capacity to respond this way!

    Hopefully, a beautiful female will ask President Obama!  I would hate for him to be home all alone watching Satuday Night Live!

    Cool story.

    Maybe I am just old fashion, but shouldn’t the United States Marines be taught not to ask married women out on dates?  The same goes for the female Marines – stay away from married men!  There are so many lonely single celebrities in show business and politics that would be honored to receive such an invitation.

    I agree…

    …Lance Corporal Leeks may find himself receiving an unwanted posting to Aghanistan

    Let’s just hope for his sake he is not sent to Guantanamo Bay until after the ball is over!

    I don’t recall him asking her to have an affair with him, but to go to the ball WITH HER HUSBAND”S PERMISSION.

    You just couldn’t resist being ignorant, could you? I have to admit, the cynic in me wonders why a story of so little interest has been left on the front page since yesterday afternoon? I can’t help but feel it was put out there as bait for comments such as Bee’s just to generate arguments and clicks.

    Would you give your husband to permission to escort Madonna to the Super Bowl?
    Watch out for those “wardrobe malfunctions”.

    I realize that it is not a fair question, because you would not have the Secret Service tailing them and giving you 10 minute updates.

    Yet another cost the taxpayers will be burgeoned with.

    As if the Secret Service would let any golliwog get within striking distance of Mooshelle.  Just another pre-rehearsed sham to make the first sow look good.  FAIL.

    p.s.  Her penile bulge is still showing

    Tennessee3501 didn’t say she was asked to have an “affair” with him, he said: “not to ask married women out on dates”

    Escorting(accompanying) a fellow/lady to a ball(or the Marine Corps Ball) is classified as going out socially according to the English dictionary, be it platonic or not. The fact that her husband’s consent is required or is being sought, explains everything.

    And actually such a PR move like accepting his proposal will not be necessary, considering that we blacks mostly vote like zombies, essentially making Obama and the Democrats “entitled” to the ‘black vote’.

    PS: When I say “we blacks” I mean the 97% of us still in the left-wing progressive 20th/21st century plantation.

    Guess the Corporal likes dog ugly skanks with very big butts!  Oh well, I just pray we get a Real Lady as 1st Lady in 2012.  We have always had Ladies in the WH, until 2008, then we downgraded to Skanks in the WH!
