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!

    Seriously?

    I read Salon daily for the wit, wisdom, and insight I don't find in so many other media outlets. I am grateful for the humor as well as the thoughtful journalism. This morning, I saw the article on Michelle Obama's backside and, for a moment, thought someone was joking. You actually wasted space on the first lady-elect's ass? Not only that, but I also find it upsetting for another reason. The Obamas are stepping into the most high profile position in the world. They will all be put under a microscope for everything from their behavior to choices in clothing. I am surprised Salon would jump on the tabloid bandwagon and start in with a headline on Mrs. Obama's rear.
