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!

    Joan Walsh uses black people to offend

    How very white of Joan Walsh. She thinks that it is ok to offend black people if she can find another black person to do it.

    Proud of this piece? Salon is always proud to find hack writers who are black. I think you must do a casting call to find them.

    Most black people were offended by this piece of trash. Walsh doesn't address that very simple fact so I guess I'll read the NY Post or National Review online. They are openly racist so I won't be shocked when I see the proof in print.
