Somehow, I don’t think that’s what she meant to say

What the heck?

MICHELLE OBAMA: […] surrounding HIV testing, which is still plaguing so many of our communities, which you all know, a lot of that is due to homophobia. Barack has led by example. When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya, we took a public HIV test for the very point of showing the folks in Kenya that there is nothing to be embarrassed about in getting tested, and we did it as a couple. [my emphasis]

I gotta admit, as certain as I am about Barack Obama being purely American and all that “Birther” stuff being complete nonsense, this is one quote that’s highly intriguing for just about anyone. On the one hand, the most likely answer is that this is no more than a mere slip of the tongue or perhaps a reference to something not shown in the context of the video; on the other hand, you can be quite certain that Birther nuts will be diving onto this (mis?)quote in half-a-second flat.

Very curious, nonetheless.
