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.

61. Nobody with half a brain would come to TMZ to debate politics or racism and that includes you, SF person. You are no wiser than anyone here. But, somehow, I feel you aren't able to grasp this.

62. I just can't belive some of the coments on this thread. How disgusting! Why not wait and see what happens duing the Obama presidency? Why are some of you bringing up crap that you KNOW is untrue? I for one would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. Didn't we give that to W? If he turns out to be an idiot then bitch. The man isn't even IN the White House yet and some of you already are condeming him....

63. So many shallow and superficial racists on here making hateful remarks about the First Lady coming to the White House in January. The election is over and the country is in a terrible mess. The new President and his wife need your support, not all this hate you're spewing. Michelle O. is intelligent, charming, a good mother, supportive wife.....not losers like yourselves which is why you're making these comments in the first place.

64. Look who Obama is surrounding himself with. People who have been with President Clinton and have been on the political scene for years. He is doing this this to make up for his ignorance (lack of knowledge) about how to run our country.

65. Obama is going to drain the brains of everyone he is surrounding himself with. Because he does not have the knowledge and experience to know how to lead our country.

66. SF-Reno - I do not care if you are rascist or not, but I think you dated many momen of different ethnic backgrounds because pretty American women would not date you. You must be homely and you must not have much self-esteem. You took whatever you could find and found you back.

67. Jane - You can be American and be from different ethnic backgrounds. Wow.......TMZ people just aren't bright!!

68. Mrs. Obama has trashed America and White people in the things she has said. Both she and her husband have trashed America in the things they do and by who they associate with. I don't give a crap what color they are, they are racist, American haters and I can't respect him as the President and I never will. It's gonna get interesting and be a bumpy ride for us all

69. Well obviously, she's no beauty, but let's be honest, neither was Sarah Palin. Ugh.. and TMZ posted the worst picture of her possible. LMAO! This is too funny, TMZ, you always bring out the best in people! Thanks for the entertainment!

70. Hey #16...you begin your rant by whining about "haters and racists" on this blog and in the next sentence label people as "ignorant, uneducated crackers." Whose the hatefilled racist here? Hmmmm, could it be you? BINGO! YATZEE!

71. I think she will do fine in the White House. I have watched all the interviews with her and Barack, and one thing I can say is that they seem like "real" average American people. I haven't seen any of the past presidents/first lady be so down to earth and average. They both seem to put their kids first, and I think its great they are. I just hope the media will especially leave their kids alone, but in this day in age thats probably hoping for too much. I think with the parents they have though, they have a shot at some normalcy thank goodness. As far as all the racism crap everyone is talking about, please grow up. There is too much hate in the world- thus the majority of our country's problems. Black or white doesn't matter to me. Seeing the country turn around in order for me to be able to watch my kids grow up in better times is what matters to me. Its too early to say what will happen with Obama as president, surely he will make mistakes as well as strides, but I say give him a shot. He IS going to be president no matter what people think, so why not just try to give him a fair shot without all of the negatives included. I mean really- worrying about what she is wearing is the last thing on my mind.

72. As usual. Typical racist, anti-american, hateful commentary posted here. I call upon you: stop out-projecting your inner self-hatred and risk standing for positive force. WE are ALL your country. Celebrate it!

73. Now why isn't our wonderful new Messiah, I mean President, sending his children to the wonderful public schools in Washington DC? You know, because school choice isn't right for the rest of us to have and public schools are good enough for our children right? Another instance of do as I say, not as I do.

74. Jane, you twit, the fact that Obama is shrewd enough to surround himself with brilliant, hard-working, experienced team members is a PLUS!!!!! I would hope that any President would have enough sense to do this, no matter what his/her party or level of experience. #74, I agree with you completely.

75. OMG. Let it go. This is ridiculous. Give Obama a chance okay. Why does it matter what skin color he is? For all you McCain Supporters obviously you put Bush in for 2 terms, and i bet you're just ecstatic over what he has done for our country right?? Its time for a change MCCain would've been another 4 years of Bush basically and we need to fix what he has done. Let IT GO!
