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!

    I like big butts and I can not lie -- this is article is straight out dumb

    I'm all for ethnic pride. It's healthy, I do it. There's a little too much projecting here going on.

    For one, how does everyone know your booty is as fine (or not) as Michelle's or vice versa? Okay, I'm kidding...I don't really care.

    I mean why not talk about the Obama's greatness, merit and history making ability or is that not fun, sexy and enabling?

    Mostly however, talking about the First Lady's butt (and your own) seems pretentious and shallow because there's a lot more going on here besides booty. Yes, it's nice to know someone has a booty like yours but you're better then that, and the Obamas are better then that too.

    Beyond that, enjoy your booty while you have it. Eventually it will get saggy and old, history however will not.
