Who knew the First Lady was a Housewives fan?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills aired a new episode Monday, but costar Kyle Richards had plans other than tuning in. She and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, enjoyed face time with President Barack Obama instead!

Two of the nearly 800 attendees at an Obama fundraiser held Monday at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, Richards and Umansky couldn't contain their excitement over meeting the Commander-in-Chief.

"Off to meet our President @BarackObama #surrealtweet #whatdoiwear #hopeidontsaysomethingstupid," Richards Tweeted on her way to the event Monday evening.

"I'm going to ask our President if he can do anything about my favorite lip gloss that was discontinued," she later posted in jest. "[Or] maybe I will give him my suggestions for the deficit...JUST PRINT MORE MONEY."

Once the couple arrived at the event, L.A. real estate agent Usmansky had the chance to chat with Obama. "Great conversation with @BarackObama. I hear [First Lady] Michelle watches #Rhobh," he Tweeted, along with a photo.

Bravo exec Andy Cohen later recounted the pair's meeting with Obama on his late night show Watch What Happens Live. When asked by the president which TV show she was on, Richards played coy. "I'm embarrassed to tell you, but Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Cohen quote Richards as saying.

Obama's prompt reply? "I don't watch that but my wife does."

    Yes Laurie, HIGH CLASS. Love the Obamas. At least Barrak didn't lie to Americans in order to get us into a needless war. It took GW 8 years to drag America down. It will take more than three to pull us back up. STFU Darren N Kim Horton. Let me see if I get this right, you watch Fox News, right? Fair and impartial, my a$$. Snort. I can't quit laughing.

    No sorry he doesn't deserve any respect, he does not respect America so why should people respect him...I would rather DONALD DUCK be the next President..I am sure he would do a better job!

    @Cristina Hernandez- I don't have to respect him. He has no respect for the American people. He's an arrogant communist.

  • September 27, 2011 - 12:18pm Cristina Hernandez

    These comments are disgusting. At the end of the day, he is still our President and deserves respect (and this coming from a non-Obama fan),

  • September 27, 2011 - 11:28am Darren N Kim Horton

    OMG- No!!! Really??!!! She is sooooo lucky to meet such an arrogant, unamerican, piece of sh!t like Obama!!
