EXCELLENT!

BTW, whatever happened to that lady Obama was trying to nominate as Surgeon General, who looks to be close to 300 pounds?

Her own obesity, or the topic in general?

My, the nerve. I saw a pic on Hillbuzz of her in an orange and white get up...I think they called it her creamsicle look. There was a group of people behind her and they were all looking at her arse. The next pic showed her from the rear view. MY WORD! That dress was so tight and clingy, you could see the entire outline of her caboose. To top it off, she has on one of those tiny sweaters that was spirited away from little Sashimi or Malaria's closet. I will never understand why she wants to highlight her little chest and huge behind. Does she honestly think this is a fashion statement? Got to hand it to her, though...she did give up the boob belts.

Christie is a good looking and intelligent man.

Is she for or against it?

Meet your surgeon general, Regina Benjamin:

i liked that show. i couldn’t stand the younger brother Michael who was always protesting about racial this and that and trying to divide himself on racial lines rather than unite like, “KID..........DYNOMITE” ahaha.

She’s overweight by maybe 40 - 50 lbs. She certainly does not weigh 300 lbs.

Anyone remember the movie star expert craze, a few yrs ago when an actor or actress was in a movie about something they suddenly became expert witnesses about whatever the movie was about. I can remember a few of them even testifying in court.
This makes me think of that just because you are a government something or other doesn’t make you an expert about anything.

Man, I have absolutely NO taste whatsoever when it comes to fashion. And cattiness is usually far beneath me. But that picture makes Mooch-elle look like a complete frump.

Not "professionally attired" or "fashionable" or even "daring/risky". Just a middle aged frump. Looks like something someone would wear to go grocery shopping on Wednesday night....instead of representing the country.

What a national embarrassment.

LOL! OMG. What a difference. Two gorgeous ladies on the left, and then there’s Michelle.

FLOTUS has the biggest booty call (and smallest boobs even with a boob belt) of recent record. I recommend that she seriously consider someone with taste select her clothes. Her high style outfits only serve to AMPLIFY her physical deficiencies. She is a national embarrassment.

And you know, her body is what it is. Mine ain't what it was at 21, either. But if I was on a national stage, representing our entire country, I'd at least make an effort to look decent.

You'd think that someone (the WH has legions of people that handle stuff like this) would take her aside and quietly say "Let's make some wardrobe changes. No, really. Right now."

Heck, even Hillary managed to look moderately professional in her pantsuit attire. Moochelle just looks like a dowdy housewife.

I’d be interested to see a current picture - she’s had time to gets serious about her health by now. It would be awesome to see her set an example.
