ABC Thrills Over Michelle Obama's Oscar Appearance: 'Straight Out of Argo'

Last week, ABC scored an exclusive "get." Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to welcome back co-host Robin Roberts from a serious illness. On Tuesday, Roberts paid the White House back, fawning over the "trend-setting" First Lady and her "hot" bangs. The anchor asked not a single tough question during the two part, eight and a half minute segment.

Co-anchor George Stephanopoulos compared Mrs. Obama's appearance at the Oscars, Sunday, to the real mission in the movie Argo: Rescuing American hostages from Iran. He thrilled over the secretive appearance: "Producers go undercover at the White House in a move straight out of Argo." Elizabeth Vargas echoed, "It was like something out of Argo." Again, the hostages in Iran faced death, not the revelation of a TV appearance.
