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!

    As a white person I want to apologize

    I differ with Salon.com much if not most of the time. I even refer to it as saloon.com and stalin.com.

    White people are generally clueless about African American sensibilities and this piece takes the cake, focusing on Michelle's nice but irrelevant buttocks.

    So, even if these rich limousine liberals don't have the class to apologize, I will apologize for them, because they are too smug and supposedly too hip to apologize for themselves.

    You see, they think it is such a big deal that they voted for Barrack and sent him lots of money, that makes them feel entitled to get down like they were funky, and comment on Michelle's fullsome ass-buttocks.

    Yes this is horribly racist.

    It is.

    And. I am sorry for these sorry m.....f's.
