Michelle Obama -- First Bootay

One thing that hasn't been pointed about our new First Lady -- her bootyliciousness.

Salon.com just decided to go there with Michelle Obama, with a black woman fully laying out an appreciation of Mrs. O's back side: "She has coruscating intelligence, beauty, style and -- drumroll, please -- a butt," writes Erin Aubry Kaplan. "Yes, you read that right: I'm going to talk about the first lady's butt."

Meanwhile, we're told Mrs. O is "very interested" in the prestigious Sidwell Friends school in DC for her girls, but might want them to blaze a different trail than Chelsea Clinton, who also went to Sidwell, so other schools could be in play.

17. I hope she gets more respect when her husband becomes president. She's smart, educated, athletic, a terrific mom, and her husband adores her. She must be doing something right.

18. Another poster said this before. You can imagine any Black man's resentment for his people's history in America. Do you hionesty believe Obama can truly appreciate the history and grandeur of the White Hose..?

19. 16. The level of hate and racism displayed here is disturbing. Here's the bottom line. The Obama's are far smarter than any of the haters here could ever be. That's right, it takes a completely ignorant, uneducated cracker to post the stupid comments found here.

Why don't you all grow up and realize the people of America have spoken. And please don't teach your children to be like you. Most Americans have a dream, which is that hate and racism will soon be a thing of the past. Did I mention you have some growing up to do?

22. It takes al lot to shock me , BUT, I can not belive all the women ( and im sure all the negative comments above are from women ) who will knock down an other women in any way, maybe all the white women feel that they are above or in some way " better than " Mrs. O , but belive me ladies, having the same color as Mrs. Palin does not mean she see you as her as she see herself- no matter how educaded or attactive you are , you are just another white women to her.

And, no matter HOW she looks to you, she is one of the best educated woman to ever become First Lady , and conservative in dress and manner to boot. I do agree that maybe she should sit back and not comment on everything when being interviewed with her hubby, I feel we need to see him as THE LEADER , not as a yes man for his wife.

That being said, like every other First Lady we will have to see how she works out , but better or worse she is our First Lady and we should at least show her respect . You dont have to love her or what she stands for , but I feel that as Americans we live in the BEST place in the whole world , and if all we have to complain about is how Mrs. O. looks , I feel we are very lucky indeed.

OK, Im done.

26. To SF-Reno and yahoo for honesty,

I am a firm believer in having no racism or hatred, however both PE Obama and his wife, have surrounded themselves with both rasicm and hatred loving people. You are judged by who you associate with. No one is disputing this fact except his supporters. PE did dispute it for about 5 minutes and then never said a word about since. This man was elected on speeches and presence alone, it has nothing to do with rasicm (unless the only reason you voted for him was for the color of his skin). What do the American people actually know about them other than what they themselves have told you? Nothing because everything else has been sealed or hidden away. The only thing we hear about in the news, is what puppy, her clothes, what schools, ect about them. Who cares? What I and I believe I am not alone in this, want to know is what is he going to do, and how he is going about to do these things. His past dealings in the Senate doesn't impress me at all. I neither hate him nor care about what "color" he is, what I care about is the country I live in and what he is going to do and how it effects me and my family.
What bothers me most is everyone spouting how great these 2 are, all I know about them is she is very racist and made comment slandering "whiteys" and both sat in a white hating/racist church, so look into who you are calling racist and haters. PS SR-Reno, isnt cracker a racist term towards white??? nuff said

27. Reading some of these 'enlightened' comments about PE Obama and his wife just goes to prove that the more things change the more (some) things stay the same! Unfortunately, the things that remain the same are the ignorance, pettiness, and smugness (just to name but a very few).

LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOR IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED RACISM, PLEASE - you are drowning in it!! What gives you any more right that any other person, of any race, to base your hatred on skin color, point fingers & throw racial slurs, epitaphs & hatred around???? Because you base your beliefs & hatred on race, YOU ARE A RACIST. You are no better than the person you are complaining about & are in fact a huge part of why racism still exist in this country. You are part of the problem & seem to thrive on perpetuating it, instead of doing anything positive to eliminate it in YOURSELF first, then in others. That is the only way it will truly be eradicated. IN OURSELVES FIRST, others will eventually follow. Your hatefilled comments & attitude are NOT HELPING end racism. You & others like you are the only reason it still exist today.

And please don't teach your children to be like you. Did I mention YOU have some growing up to do???

30. Yes, I did say "crackers." I'm caucasian (that means I'm white.) It's not considered a derogatory term.

Call me racist if you will. I'm married to an asian woman and in my past dated women of many different ethnic backgrounds.

Oh, and I apologize for using correct grammar and punctuation. That's what an education will do for you.
