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!

    Point of the Article

    to me was the author basically saying how glad she is that the first black man to be elected president does not have a wife who has a size 2 Jackie-O type of body or is actually a white woman (with a Jackie-O type of body).

    Mrs. Obama is a fine looking mother of 2 kids & the author is very, very happy about that.

    I personally think this is a very minor aspect of the coming Obama Administration that can certainly be commented on in Salon.
