Daily News… OSCAR STAR MICHELLE OBAMA UNLEASHED Dishing out Oscars, dancing with the stars and hamming it up with Big Bird -- Michelle Obama is having all the fun. While President Barack Obama’s re-election glow fades and he finds himself mired in another poisonous budget tussle with Republicans, the popular First Lady is enjoying the freedom of a second White House term. In a shimmering silver Naeem Khan ballgown, Michelle stole the show at the 85th Academy Awards with a surprise videolink appearance to present the Oscar for Best Picture to Iran hostage drama «Argo.» In a crosscontinental double act with veteran Hollywood leading man Jack Nicholson, she opened the golden envelope, flanked by military officers in evening dress, in the Diplomatic Room of the White House. Obama said she was honored to help celebrate movies that «lift our spirits, broaden our minds and help transport us to places we had never imagined.» The appearance, innocent on its face, was in fact steeped in political implications. The White House welcomes any chance to showcase its most popular asset to a huge audience. A debt was also repaid -Hollywood was a gushing fountain of campaign cash for the president’s re-election campaign. Last year, for example, George Clooney -- who picked up a statue as producer of «Argo» -hosted a $15 million fundraiser for the president at his Hollywood Hills mansion. Michelle Obama’s comments also hit the president’s familiar political message, that by pulling together, Americans can overcome grim economic times. She said the Best Picture nominees «reminded us that we can overcome any obstacle if we dig deep enough and fight hard enough and find the courage to believe in ourselves.» «These lessons apply to all of us no matter who we are, or what we look like or where we come from, or who we love.»
