First lady got back

    Take it 'back'

    Jackie O—and her skinny, flat ass—wasn’t the first woman in the White House! If you take a closer look at the pictures of past first ladies I think you will find that the seats in the White House have felt the weight of many abundant derrieres over the years. Some of the prior posteriors of first ladies make Michelle Obama’s look like something out of a weight watchers ad in comparison.
