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!

    Can you get a grip?

    Seriously, is this how far we've slid with Salon's political commentary? Talking about booty? Really?

    How about we collectively pull our heads out of our asses, and start focusing on the issues again? We like Michelle Obama because she's got a great brain. Now we have to look at this picture of this great future leader and first lady and scan down to check out her ass. Can we stop reducing our politicians to MTV Road Rules during ratings week? Michelle Obama is going to be a great first lady, and will keep the dignity of the office. Why can't you?
