good nite all....
Michelle Obama's just keeping the "change" theme with her sleeveless style – she looks wonderful.
Michelle Obama looks lovely in her sleeveless dress! Love her arms! Show them as much as you can MIchelle!!...Anyway, thanks for a great show Andy! When do I get an invite I mean you'll be using onions for something won't you?? 🙂 Take care, enjoy the weekend!! I'll remember to watch 60 minutes this weekend!
I'm not sure what all the onion comments are about on the blog since I just tuned in... However, I did see you mentioning the First Lady's official photo. Since I have already seen before seeing what you are going to say about it....The First Lady looks fabulous in her official photo! She is a modern day first lady with an incredible sense of style!
OMGosh, what a treat to see Bobby tonight!
The first lady looks so nice in that black dress. Her arms are amazing. I am not shock at all. Love her!!
It has been a good week shows.
Good night everyone.
Have a good weekend.
Sweet dreams.
Working out in the bowling alley has brought out the best in the arms race.
Classy picture of a classy lady! Change has come to Washington - sleeveless!
Goodnight, Anderson, Erica, David, and bloggers!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I may be a bit hit-or-miss next week as I'll be visiting my parents in VA who don't have cable.
Anderson – Keep up the good work in the kitchen. I want to see a full-blown salad next week!
@ Anderson-I saw you this morning, and I want to tell you, I will fly out to NYC and take you freakin' mattress shopping. It's not that difficult.
Michelle looks fabulous as always!!! I do need to do some push ups.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!
EJ – not quite at the no worry stage, but did get rid of that CC debt!
goodnite all.
The First Lady looks looks drop-dead gorgeous, as usual.
Good night, all. Anderson, great show this morning and this evening. Erica, thanks! Good night, all! <3
Michelle Obama is spectacular!
Love Michelle Obama but I really wish she'd had worn a suit jacket at the address to Congress. I guess I'm old fashioned. Liked the portrait though.
A follow up to chopping onions: I been working as a chef for years and still fight with chopping the onion daily. Practice, Pracitce
Practice...
Wow – that photo of Michelle Obama is gorgeous. I love the black sleeveless dress. She looks great.
Goodnight Anderson & Erica – Great show tonight! Have a great weekend.
The little black dress is always a good choice!
ahh!
i can't type...
but i can chop an onion 😉
Good night, Anderson, David and Erica.
Good night, bloggers!
A good rest for us all!
And a great weekend!
Anderson this could be a start to yet another career for you, your Own Cooking Show, move over Rachel Ray!
Thank You Erica, Anderson for that great laugh!
I am off to bed been a long week, Great Show as always!
Have a Wonderful weekend everyone!
you know Anderson..that shot will live infamously on youtube..yay.lol you should charge to view lol
Beautiful picture. She looks so classy and sexy:)
Wow Anderson, the 360 crew must be super-sneaky...you didn't see them getting the set ready for Bobby Flay?!
Good night all – have a great weekend.
FLOTUS looks amazing in her picture.
A divorce is not expensive when both parties are reasonable. It only gets expensive when they fight over who gets what, alimony, etc.
The shot. Black velvet would do me good right now.
Anderson if that California Mayor did not know that watermelons was associated with Blacks, do you think he would associate peanuts with President J. Carter or jelly beans with President R. Ragan? Maybe this guy needs to go to a community college and take some history lessons.
anderson, that surprise let us all know that you:
a.) either really dont cook or just dont like onions, and
b.) you are not a hunter or fisherman, and
c.) you would lose in a knife battle!
lol
Bobby Jindal is an embarrassment. I really wish all Indian-Americans were brilliant, like your Dr Sanjay Gupta.
@ David Gergen
Thank you!
Great show tonight! Enjoyed the impromptu segment with the Chef Flay and Anderson! Thanks AC360!
Makes me want to go chop some onions now.....
Well, not really! 😉
Have a good weekend bloggers! Nite all!
LOL, yes a salsa weekend.
Anderson and crew,
I'm afraid I can't type fast enough. Please don't try to cut the onions so fast until you practice more. If you have an onion emergency, they sell frozen chopped onions and you don't cut your fingers. I'm a surgeon and people do cut their fingers this way. You and your crew are all too cute.
After you cut onions and wash your hands, you can rub your fingers with vinegar and salt. No smell; no worries.
Also, could everybody leave Michelle Obama alone about her sleeveless outfits? She has beautiful arms and it is, after all, a free country. Could that many people be jealous or petty.
Let's be happy that we are a step closer to bringing the troops home alive and sooner than we thought possible. And if we raise a ruckus it may be even sooner!
Interesting segment, Randi Kaye -
Since I waited too late last night -
Anderson, - Just want to say I really enjoyed the show again tonight. The last two nights have had an especially good mix of segments.
Good night and have a good weekend Anderson, Erica and Fellow Bloggers - thanks for the interesting "chat" again tonight bloggers. Looking forward to your 60 minutes segment, Anderson.
BettyAnn - good to see you joinging back in and heal fast.
My wife was watching them slam Michelle Obama for going sleeveless and turned to me and said, "Isn't she protected by the constitution, you know, that one about the right to bear arms?"
Thanks Anderson for doing the piece on keeping Mr. Jindel honest. No need to embellish Mr. Jindel no one will ever forget that tragedy. His point he was trying to make is that he government is the problem. What Republicans fail to realize is that if the government is competent it works quite well.
@Rikki too right, good question.
Erica: Great job. More surprises please. Wathing Anderson "tap dance" on his own show is better than watching Kelly try to get him to dance on hers,
Michelle Obama should wear a sleeveless dress. Most people that have arms like that do, and they should because they earned them:)
good ngiht everyone
you're a good sport Anderson!
Have a great weekend everyone! Dont forget to watch Anderson on 60 minutes this sunday!
goodnight, Anderson, Erica and David
There is always be a serial killer somewhere. When one got caught, we always hear about another serial killers.
I've seen Michelle Obama's official portrait and she is FLAWLESS! I've got to get my arms to look like that.
Michelle Obama is not the first First Lady to have bare arms for her White House portrait. She absolutely looks beautiful.
That was a great interlude. Erica, I could kiss you for setting that up. So funny. You did a great job, Anderson. (You can buy a mattress online, by the way...just saying...and if you don't like it you don't have to waddle down the street with it to return it...call the store and they'll come pick it up for you, okay? See? No crisis. 🙂 )
