Agree, the first cow pushing dieting, and eating greens, is just too funny.

“Inappropriate Portrayal of First Lady Benefits No One”

Well, then, why does she keep doing it?

They called Bush a chimp.
They called Bush Hitler.

And they call on us to be polite and respectful of their guy.

cannot be tolerated.

That’s a bit disturbing.

Inappropriate Portrayal of First Lady Benefits No One

What? Someone airbrushed the prominent Adam's apple out of yet another news photo? People are photoshopping the "Property of Ringling Brothers" tags off of her First Lady outfits, before posting the pics on whitehouse.gov? What -- ?!? ;)

Okay.

As soon as Mrs. Obama shows some class and dignity, then changes her fashion sense to something other than “hideous”, we’ll stop with the characterizations.

That was a nice article. Laura Bush has been a picture of grace. I love the other first lady named Bush, too. Barbara was always a favorite of mine.

>> Don’t attack a good first lady.

Not to worry. I would never EVER attack a *good* first lady.

Michelle Obimbo, on the other hand...

Well we don’t attack Good First Ladies. We just attack the type who want to use their role as if they were elected.

I kind of like the type who are proud of America before their husband gets elected.

I guess it is okay for the left to call GWB “chimpy” all the time though.

However, calling ‘chelle an ape is dumb.

Personally, I prefer the appellation First Wookie

Rather than wallow in Darwinian mud, First Wookie has a progressive modernistic aura

It may not be the First Lady, but these are more appropriate to make and look at...

But make no mistake, when Obama runs for re-election, he most likely will enjoy much the same level of black support that he got in 2008. And what if he were to be defeated? What would be the reaction of the African-American community the day after the election? There's no reason to presume it would be anything but tranquil, as it is in America following any Election Day. Unless, that is, Obama's possible defeat followed a perceived pattern of those who oppose his policies indulging in racist hijinks such as comparing the president or his wife to a chimp. My guess is that such ugliness might then lead to a post-election situation that could tear the nation apart.

Woah... wait a minute here.... So because the president and his wife have a few cruel jokes told about them (as have other presidents) we should be sure we don't offend the black vote because they will tear the nation apart? Is it just me or does the specter of that threat send chills down your spine? We need to elect whom they want or things will go disastrous? I don't like that one bit

“And what if he were to be defeated? What would be the reaction of the African-American community the day after the election?”

Is he saying that everyone should live in fear of looting and rioting when Obie loses the next GE? That’s rather racist in itself. The author might want to step down to a shorter horse.

Recent articles have been published in which some blacks have criticized the president for not doing enough to ease their financial pain.

Why couldn’t JOBS ease the financial pain?

They also do practical harm by painting all those who oppose the most liberal administration since Franklin Roosevelt as racist Neanderthals.

Buzz off, Matt.

We could all behave like Miss Manners and we would STILL be considered racist Neanderthals as long as we oppose O's destructive policies.

I'm sick of lectures about taking the high ground while being dragged through the muck for voicing an opinion.

I'm sick of being lectured about considering the 'feelings' of my political opponents while they toss every foul, unjust and downright false epithet they can find at me.

I'm sick of being lectured about how the progressive concept of social justice really ISN'T an attempt to rewrite the birthright of all Americans.

In short, the gloves are off. Conservatives need to STOP trying to perch on the high ground and get just as down and dirty.

IMHO, it's the only way to win the fight, because that kind of fight is the ONLY kind liberals recognize.

Yeah, a bright and accomplished woman with ‘a court ordered inactive [law license] status.’

The problem is that the MSM insists on thrusting Michelle Obama onto center stage. This could just be ignored until they designate her ‘the perfect role model of physical fitness’. I’m sorry, but she’s an overweight middle aged woman who obviously lacks the discipline in her eating habits that she’s preaching to America’s children. Even kids can see through this kind of hypocrisy. That said, I do believe family members are, or at least should be, off limits so long as they don’t engage in promotion of the political agenda. In that department, Michelle is no Hillary.

"As word leaked of this offensive humor..."

Yeah, offensive to all chimpanzees, because chimps are better looking.

Any characterization of My Bell (sp on purpose) Michelle will be unflattering and she has earned it.
