First lady got back

I'm a black woman who never thought I'd see a powerful, beautiful female with a body like mine in the White House. Then I saw Michelle Obama -- and her booty!

    UGH

    AKA - I agree with your post (the long one, not the sonfloud smack down though I agree with that as well.) This isn't the forum this kind of discussion. I don't think its a Penthouse article or Larry Flynt (it's not pornographic for god's sake) but it is in poor taste and inappropriate for a woman of Michelle's obvious capabilities.

    I read a post earlier on another website about Mrs. Obama's fashion sense where the writer said she looked more like south side street walker than a First Lady.(?!) So, yeah, maybe we should just leave comments about her appearance (and her ghetto booty) to the racist mofos. I mean, what was this author thinking? Just cause you and your girlfriends are happy the first lady has a little junk in her trunk doesn't mean you need to make it the basis of friggin story!

    I don't understand why the editors chose to run this article. At times, Salon kind of reminds me of the way FOX, whenever they have a "darkey" issue, runs out and gets Al Sharpton to be the voice of black America. I mean, I seriosuly wouldn't piss on that man if he was on fire and despite what the mainstream media says, he's not the most popular man in the black community. Heck, I don't know who he is, but Sharpton makes most of my black family and friends want to gouge their eyes out.
