Let’s face it: The only bracing symbol of American strength right now is the image of Michelle Obama’s sculpted biceps. Her husband urges bold action, but it is Michelle who looks as though she could easily wind up and punch out Rush Limbaugh, Bernie Madoff and all the corporate creeps who ripped off America. In the taxi, when I asked David Brooks about her amazing arms, he indicated it was time for her to cover up. “She’s made her point,” he said. “Now she should put away Thunder and Lightning.” I’d seen the plaint echoed elsewhere. “Someone should tell Michelle to mix up her wardrobe and cover up from time to time,” Sandra McElwaine wrote last week on The Daily Beast. Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality. Too much preening signals that you’re not up late studying cap-and-trade agreements. David was not smitten by the V-neck, sleeveless eggplant dress Michelle wore at her husband’s address to Congress — the one that caused one Republican congressman to whisper to another, “Babe.” He said the policy crowd here would consider the dress ostentatious. “Washington is sensually avoidant. The wonks here like brains. She should not be known for her physical presence, for one body part.” David brought up the Obamas’ obsession with their workouts. “Sometimes I think half the reason Obama ran for president is so Michelle would have a platform to show off her biceps.” During the campaign, there was talk in the Obama ranks that Michelle should stop wearing sleeveless dresses, because her muscles, combined with her potent personality, made her daunting.

I can’t remember who, but during the election someone here actually told me that Michelle is a good dresser! I was completely flabbergasted.
I am amazed how many homosexual men there are in the MSM obsessing over Michelle Obama’s arms, hair, dress, etc...
The Daily Beast
Is that a newspaper or Michele’s new nickname?
Embarrassing for a first lady. I think it shows a lack of class and grace.
In my mothers generation flashing one’s armpits was as bad as one giving the middle finger. So the People’s magazine cover did not impress the much older women, in fact many were abhorred.
The Obama’s are low rent to the nth degree.
This is twice that MoDo has dissed The One and his Mate, isn’t it? Cannot be good.
Shoulders.
Back.
Bottom.
Thighs.
Legs.
Knees.
....
Then either Michelle Zero OR MoDo.
How insulated these people are. Outside of FR I have heard not one solitary person comment upon Michelle about anything since the inauguration. Nobody but wimpy women and homosexuals could be interested in her puny biceps, for godsake. But I guess that's the peculiar culture of the eastern provinces for you.
You’d think MoDo would be kinder to the only woman with feet bigger than hers.
At least she shaves. Sleeveless frocks do nothing for me.
To protect the public, follow this simple fashion tip:
Better watch your mouth MoDo, she could just as easily have a mind to kick your white-@$$.
Delusional journalists must believe if they tell us it’s so - then we will believe it is so...
I’ve seen NOTHING attractive about Michelle..
Not her face, her body, her manners, her lack of class, her racist disposition, her horrid taste in clothing, her lack of grace nor her admitted lack of pride in being an American — until she and her husband got on the Government Teat to suck for the rest of their lives...
If Michelle is the best that black women can hope to achieve - it’s more understandable why so many black women remain unmarried and simply reduced to sex objects and broodmares raising bastards in the ghetto.
There is a time, place and season for a lady to go sleeveless. Most women intuitively know that during the day in the dead of winter when you’re representing the United States of America is not the proper time. Michelle has no sense of what’s appropriate.
You got it. Any straight guy would head for the hills at the sight of something like that.
