To the hater: First Lady Obama is bringing elegance back (Laff Riot)
The Madison Times ^ | March 2, 2011 | Gail Moore

It shouldn’t surprise me the new levels of hatred that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh finds each week for his radio show or that there is an audience out here who actually finds him credible.

Like a bully last week, Limbaugh took aim at America’s First Lady Michelle Obama. The former-fat guy criticized the First Lady’s efforts to curb childhood obesity by pointing out her diet and criticized her “Lets Move” campaign which encourages youths to eat more fruit and vegetables and to include exercise in their daily lifestyles. How pathetic, Rush.

Like many, I admire the First Lady and believe she’s an inspiration for women around the world. The First Lady has brought elegance and style back to the White House, a combination that’s been missing for decades. She is counted among the 10 best-dressed women in the world and she’s been compared to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy due to her sense of style. While Michelle Obama does have access to designer clothes, she’s shown ordinary women that they can shop stylishly from off the rack. The First Lady has brought color and vibrancy to the White House.

The former-fat guy then pointed to the White House Super Bowl party menu as ammunition. Stop! Rush.

If you live in America there’ are basically two very large feasting days — Thanksgiving Day and Super Bowl Sunday — and you tell yourself you’ll control your eating through both. Indulging in either of these events doesn’t contradict the First Lady’s message on fitness, because she’s advocating a lifestyle change — the Super Bowl is a makeup day.

I’m a midwesterner, as is the First Lady, and Super Bowl Sunday parties here in Wisconsin include food, beer, chips and friends getting together having fun. Let me tell you, if you’re invited to a Super Bowl party with wings, burgers, pizza, and bratwurst on the menu, it’s a step up.

Stumbling further into his hater attack, Limbaugh said the First Lady doesn’t project the image of a “Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.” Let me see, the basic requirements for being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model are that you must be really young, super-thin, be able to pout and stick your butt out for cheeky pictures, and be able to wear a skimpy swimming suit.

The First Lady is a mother of two young children and wife to one of the most powerful men in the world. At age 46, Michelle Obama is fit and she bears her sculpted arms as proof she’s energetic and that she operates on a much higher intellectual level than Limbaugh. A college dropout who flunked all of his classes, Limbaugh is proof that a minimally functioning brain operates on a scary level.

So to the haters: First Lady Michelle Obama is a Princeton University alumni and a Harvard Law School graduate .... try to obtain it if you can. She’s brought style and elegance back to the White House. Women strive to be her and she’s become an inspiration for millions of women of color around the world who share sisterhood in her ebony beauty. Believe it.

In today’s society where women are often the feeder for bad jokes, conservative talk-show insults, and degrading rap lyrics, young girls have a new role model …. one who’s setting standards across the board.

Now roll with it.

Remember, they’ll always be former-fat guy haters and conservative talk show fanatics out there who hate any progress made by women, but to your comfort, just remember they’re operating on a minimally functioning brain level.

Really? Could they possibly be more infantile and transparent in their worship? It’s to the point of being insulting.

Michele is elegant much like a chili fart is aromatic.

from the article - ‘______she has brought back elegance and style that’s been missing for decades - - - ‘

PWAAHAhahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Missing???! Excuse me while I recover from hysteria!!!
The correct response is knee-slappin’ guffaws.
What planet are these people from??!
What are they smokin’?

This country has been well represented (visually and otherwise) by our first ladies - well, Hillary was bland and a one-tune FL.

‘They’ try so hard to convince us that Meshell Obigmouthmama is a raving beauty and fashion plate - what’s sa matter - ya can’t see it??

What’s the point??!

That black women everywhere feel they have a role model in D.C., is commendable, but I’m so sorry they are mistaken!!!
There are plenty of beautiful black woman doing just fine without ‘pointers’ from the WH.

I will concede that a person can’t help the bone structure they were born with, (even a big rear) or facial beauty or lack of.
But stop trying so hard to sell somethin’ that ain’t so!
You’re making fools of yourselves!
Sadly, they don’t care. . .

Also, we’ve all seen that terrible scowl and other grimaces on her face in photos - what’s that all about?
Bet you’ll say ‘anger’ . . .
It comes from not too far down inside - - -
She is not learning from those photos, either!

We probably wouldn’t pick on Meshell as often, as hard or, anything, if the press was kind, gentle, but *honest,* (wait - the keyboard’s stuck - - ) and avoided the flowery, lying phrases.

Hey! Maybe even Meshell is embarrassed by the hype - no??

The FLOTUS has no class or dignity - which could be excusable for a while as she catches up - maybe with tutoring?
Is there any tutoring?

Meshell mostly wears outrageous, inappropriate (for the occasion, and for her height), frumpy, ‘experimental’(read: fashion) clothes - the woman - with or without help - is a walking (ga-lumping?) disaster, with no taste, or dignity.
Sad. It’s one thing if she chooses to be this way, but don’t tell us how great it all is! We’re getting sore from laughing.

I don’t believe she has an intellect either - thesis, grades, folks - - if you want to cite schooling.

How many more times are we going to be insulted with this tripe?

If Michelle Obama = style and elegance I will take cave toad.

A train wreck has more style than she does. Sorry, style is NOT getting off Airforce 1 in hotpant shorts, flip-flops, and a tank top with your panty lines showing. Nope not even close. I won’t even get into the boob belt.

Yep - you gots it!
Bet you can find more.

I’m not getting the batman boob buckle - tired -about to go to bed.

Is it that being with obviously beautiful women leaves Obigmouthmama intimidated - thus the scowls?

Laura Bush was the definition of style and class. She made sure she was never photographed in pants that were so tight her underwear lines shined through. If I recall correctly, she also never sported a camel toe.

Ooh, I just had to go to Google and look up "camel toe."

While the experience isn't quite as bad as the time I looked up "teabagging", it definitely falls into the category of things I didn't really need to know.
