Charles Blow
Forgive me in advance for fawning, but Michelle Obama is the coolest first lady ever. She clinched it for me this week by jumping double Dutch on the South Lawn as part of a healthy kids fair.
The scene underscored my impression of the first lady as utterly unencumbered by convention. She seems to feel free free enough to loosen up and laugh a little, free enough to let her inner child peek through the veil of parenthood, free enough to be herself. ..."
I could pile on platitudes here about her professional accomplishments, or explore to what degree she is redefining the role of women, or predict how she will be viewed by historians in the pantheon of her predecessors. I could, but I wont. Thats not my bailiwick.

agggh.....can you even imagine Laura Bush in such an outfit...such a pose...EVEN ON A VACA???
Charles Blow?
What an unfortunate name.
Wonder if he has a brother named Joseph.
Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.
Thank you!
These folks have absolutely NO respect for the position they hold. None.
And what’s with the cardigans, anyway?
Ick.
I dunno which is worse-the boob belts or the sweaters.
Yes, he does.



They charge up to $7.50 for their rag, readers have been bailing out on it in DROVES, and THIS is the garbage they print. It’s trash before it’s even delivered.
Is she doing The Hokey Pokey in that pic?
Karate. Horse stance. On the other hand, any stance she takes is a horse stance.
Didn’t she sacrifice for the children and fly to Europe to push for the Olympics in Chicago?
And it’s a rather wide stance if I say so myself.
; )
It’s a big horse.
TRANSLATION:
“unencumbered by convention” = no manners, no sense of decorum, no sense of style, no respect for tradition
“free enough to let her inner child peek through” = immature and accustomed to not having to shoulder responsibility
“free enough to be herself.” = still a racist and not proud of America but having fun on the taxpayers dime
That’s gotta be a dude on the end. Do we now have First Wookiee stunt-doubles?
Lol! A “puddle” would have been good too.
I remember this baldheaded dude! He was the fartknocker on Big Brother a few years ago.
from Grambling State University (all black) in Louisiana, and has worked as a graphics and art director for the Times and National Geographic respectively
Don't mean to pick solely on Michelle here. If you want to dig at payoffs to Members of Congress, one of the places you have to look is the family. Michelle's arrangement was perfectly legal, and rather common in our higher political circles. You can't put a Member of Congress on retainer any more, and it's increasingly difficult to slip big bucks under the table. But you can hire or throw business to the spouse.
ROFL
WTH was she doing with that stance??? “Daa-hm...don’t tell me that beeatch be wearin’ the same shoes!?”
Blow has obviously been sucked into this cult of insanity that is bringing the destruction of the constitutional republic. May God have mercy on their souls as I sure won’t.

"She has a lovely smile"
Really? What would those accomplishments be, Mr. Blow? Having her salary double because her husband is elected to the Senate? Having her employer rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars in earmarks as a result of legislation by her husband?
But I'm thinking that her biggest accomplishment was in saving her employer so much money by codifying and instituting procedures to turf poor, non-paying patients to the nearby community hospitals and clinics.
There was one story of a kid who nearly had his lips ripped off by a pit bull, and instituting HER policies, gave the kid tylenol, a shot of morphine and told his mother to follow up at Cook County hospital in a week. They took an hour bus ride across town to another hospital, arriving at 0500 and the kid was admitted and taken directly into surgery. (Read it here at the Chicago Tribune)
These people in power (including this sorry excuse for a First Lady) are hideous examples of corrupt socialist Marxist hypocrites who will turn the USA into Zimbabwe if we let them.
With, of course, the willing aid of slobbering turds at the NYT like this All World Knee Pad candidate of a "journalist".


Damn but this womans a$$ is almost as big as the Grand Canyon!
Nah, that isn’t a horse-stance. I took karate and its a stance with both knees bent, center of gravity lower than she’s standing. She’s just letting off a fart. No class b!tch that she is.
The only magic I want from Shelly is for her to disappear.
Just simply not enough Photo Shop available to fix that.
Giggle...snort...!
Wow, a NYTimes “journalist” is infatuated with Michelle Obama.
And he’s black... does this make him a racist for not fawning over Laura Bush?
Up Chuck and Blow chunks were the first two things to come to my mind.
Why does every journalist named Blow suck? See: Steve Blow of the Dallas Morning News
This looks like her appearance on Jay Leno last night when Jay did his 10 at 10 segment with her (10 questions at 10pm). It was amazing to see how many questions she didn’t answer directly- just like hubby.
Steve Blow ... yeah, it’s just too easy.
that hoola hoop could rest on those ‘ips without moving.

Charles Blow - From one black man to another, you’re a nitwit. “Redefining the role of women”??? WTF? Michelle has been doing NOTHING but acting like some perfect caricature of an ideal house wife. She’s supposed to be a Harvard educated lawyer. Does she (or Barack for that matter) have a single individual innovative idea of her own? I have’nt seen it.
