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!

    @ AKA Smith

    Don't worry about it.

    I am black, and a woman, and had some very serious problems with this article -- and was more than slightly annoyed at JudgeMental's apparent assumption that only someone white could possibly take issue with it. You posted your deliciously withering sarcasm before I could respond with a hearty "Way to ignore all the pissed off black women posting here for two days, thanks!!!" -- with wit to boot.

    (There's a reason the Brits tell us Yanks we don't "get" irony. :-D)
