Groan-inducing.

Via WaPo:

They’re at it again.

The latest public rant against Michelle Obama’s effort to promote low-calorie school lunches was recently caught on tape in Alabama — the usual protest against the federal government meddling in local business. And then it quickly found its way around to the first lady’s posterior.

“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” said Bob Grisham, a high school football coach who was surreptitiously recorded by one of his students. “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”

Grisham, who was suspended Monday, is neither the first nor the most high-profile person to feel moved to comment on the first lady’s physique. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly called her Michelle “My Butt” Obama. And Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, the Wisconsin Republican, issued an apology after he was caught commenting on her “large posterior.” (Grisham has also said he misspoke.)

But what is it with Michelle Obama’s critics and the fixation with her derriere?

“We have a history in this country of white people not showing adequate respect for and devaluing the bodies of black women, and this most definitely falls in line with that,” says Ayana Byrd, the co-editor of the anthology “Naked: Black Women Bare All About Their Skin, Hair, Hips, Lips and Other Parts.” (Grisham, Limbaugh and Sensenbrenner are white men.)

The focus on this first lady’s posterior has historical antecedents. It reaches back to the imagery of Hottentot Venus, a woman from what is now South Africa whose naked body and pronounced posterior were paraded in shows throughout 19th-century Europe. On to the selling and trading of black women’s bodies through slavery. In modern times, black women’s figures continue to be up for public discussion in ways that are celebratory (see: “Brick House” by The Commodores) and insulting (see above).

Krissah Thompson is just coming up with excuses why Moochelle is a fat ass. Looking at the writer of this bilge, she doesn't appear to have one, so how can it be said that there is a racial component to a fat ass when it is not a universal trait...



This broad is black and she isn't fat and she is black...



This whole argument falls apart when you actually look into it.

So this coach (Grisham) was suspended? I wonder what specific rule he broke? He is not allowed to have an opinion on a public figure? He is not allowed to express his opinion of a public figure?

Considering the size of the First Wookie's ass, there is no amount of respect in the world adequate to cover that particular subject.

Every "first lady" needs a cause to support and make headlines. They chose the wrong one for Michelle. She does have a big butt and looks foolish when she cuts the calories to nothing at our schools. Especially while gorging on fine cuisine cooked by professional chefs.
