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!

    First Lady got back

    I noticed Mrs. Obama’s physic and thought it great. Didn’t know anyone else noticed or if they did would they say something. Of course right now I have a big butt because I’m big all over, but when I was younger I also had a well endowed booty and at 128lbs vs. my now 250+ body, wore a girdle trying to tame the thing. So it was with pleasure that I noticed the uninhibited first-lady-to-be, as much as saying, “Get used to it.”
