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!

    Good on you, and Good on Michelle!

    Our next first lady is bootiful, and beautiful. Me I'm an old hippie chick who will never in my lifetime see a long-haired, boots and moccasin first lady with tatts and piercings to represent me, but I am delighted with the image Michelle Obama projects. She is funny, unpretentious, outspoken, interestingly dressed and she had the sense to marry Barry. And yes she has a nice booty. Nice legs too, if you haven't noticed.

    Go Michelle!
