That's a disgusting, true phrase that is only allowed if you aren't white.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

When Michelle Obama moved into the White House, she instantly became one of the most famous first ladies in history, a symbol of racial pride, a victor in the battle of the sexes and the picture of a modern woman, mother and wife.
But from her days on the campaign trail to her residency in the White House, Obama’s favorability rating has been in flux, from a low of 48 percent in June 2008 to a peak of 72 percent last March to a slide to 61 percent in a recent Gallup Poll.
That 11-point stumble – some might call it a tumble – seems at odds with the focus of a White House publicity team that is carefully crafting her image and building a decidedly current, wholesome, upbeat brand. But while Obama has broadened the reach of her office, White House observers say that the role and projects she has embraced so far are seen by some as disappointingly traditional.
“If you asked most people, they would say she defines her job as first lady as taking care of her family, and maybe that’s what the White House wants — what she wants,” said first lady historian Betty Boyd Caroli. “A lot of people appreciate that, but some people wanted more, and maybe that’s why the numbers are dipping.”
Like her husband, Obama moved into the White House with outsize expectations from different and sometimes competing constituencies: fashionistas, black women, working women, working mothers, stay-at-home mothers, feminists, post-feminists — all identify with her.

And I haven’t seen a pic or video of her that doesn’t show a broad beamed stern.
My gosh, it’s huge.
I hear that. She’s in a bunch of magazine covers. Can’t go looking for a magazine because there might be a story about her or 0 in there.
Likewise she is formally engaged in public policy presentations regarding health care bill depate.
Off Limits - I don’t thing so (kids certainly)
Sorry—but Michelle has put herself out there and worked at becoming a public figure (hugging Queen Elizabeth, making a big deal out of her gardening, shopping spree in Paris with the girls). This is no silent Pat Nixon or Lady Bird Johnson beautifying American highways. She’s an Ivy-educated woman and she’s not going to stand in the background. She put herself on the front line, she chose to be there. She can take the praise...and she’s a grown-up who better be able to take the hits.
That's a disgusting, true phrase that is only allowed if you aren't white.
Moving on up to the White House,
Going to get a piece of the Pie.
Hey Wheeze.
Just cover them up with another magazine like many of us do now.
Being a pan faced, gnarly, hulkish, awkward, ignorant, anti-American skank might be factors as well.
Honestly, I think the First Couple are both post operative transexuals.
By the time Bozo’s term is over - they will both have a zero favorability rating.
Their plus ratings will never fall below 12%.
Never.
What is the over/under on whether Michelle wears a boob belt today?
When that white hating/America hating ugly,lumbering shrew
gets up on the public forum and trashes America and the Libs and state run media try to shove this thing down our throats as a beautiful, fashion icon that makes her fair game.
