    This sort of thing is so very, very bad......................................................

    Comenting on this might give it credence but it just seems really, really, lame to make such comments about the in-coming first ladys physical appearance in anyway let alone the subject of this post.

    It seems to me what sd. be pointed out is her intellect, education, law degree, and her role as a strong model for mothers, parents, and so forth.

    If this country and its people are to move beyond geneder, class, race, sexual orientation, it might be a good place to start commenting on such non-sense as the future first ladies physical.
