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!

Wow. Just wow.

I am a middle aged very conservative white guy Republican who voted for McCain and thinks that Obama's policies will be economic and foreign policy disaster for this nation. And I am utterly offended by this article. If it is a joke, it fails. If it is serious, then it is both racist and sexist. Call me a traditionalist, but the offices of the Presidency and First Lady deserve just a tad more distance, respect and propriety than this writer is showing. Clue to writer: Michelle Obama is the wife of the most powerful person in the world, and a not-insignificant person of power in her own right; she is not the tramp-stamp girlfriend that you go bar-trawling with every Saturday night.
