Theyre at it again.
The latest public rant against Michelle Obamas 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 ladys 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. Shes overweight.
Grisham, who was suspended Monday, is neither the first nor the most high-profile person to feel moved to comment on the first ladys 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.)
Michelle Obama obviously is not the first first lady to be subjected to criticism for the way she looks. Hillary Clinton was accused of having cankles slang for chubby ankles. One of her predecessors was immortalized in song by the group Mission of Burma: Im haunted by the freakish size of Nancy Reagans head /No way that thing came with that body.
But what is it with Michelle Obamas critics and the fixation with her derriere?

Why Americans care about the Obamas
As President Obama took the stage to deliver his acceptance speech on the night of his reelection, his younger daughter nudged his arm. He bent down to listen to 11-year-old Sasha. Behind you, she mouthed. The president nodded and promptly turned to wave to the supporters at his back.

So she’s hanging on with her butt??? Hands Free!
No kidding, she is the biggest hypocrite I have known of. I remember during the 2008 campaign, somebody posted her room service bill for her “snack” of two whole lobsters, caviar and champagne which she consumed during a couple of hour stay at a hotel. I would not comment on her a$$ weighing more than Barrack if she had not started telling other people how to eat while eating like a pig herself.
Okay then!
IIRC, Limbaugh refers to the First Lady as “Michelle, Ma Bell,” not “My Butt.” I always saw the reference as to the Beatles’ song “Michelle.” These libs LIE and no one ever, ever calls them on it.
That's a lie.
A much more severe situation than simply "chubby ankles"!!
You have it exactly right. Most people couldn't care less about her butt. The problem is, she, her husband, and people exactly like them, are trying to legislate everything in our lives down to how much electricity we can use, how much water we can flush down our toilet, what kind of light bulbs we can use, what we are allowed to THINK, and most applicable, what we are allowed to eat.
It's funny, to liberals, hypocrisy is the greatest crime of all. But here we are, a person who shouldn't be involved in anything that would bring attention to her physique, telling other people how to lose weight and how to eat healthy.
It's galling, and that's why people point this dichotomy out. Our freedoms are being taken away in so many ways, our elected officials are no longer responsive to us, we are cut off.
What it comes down to, is that we fight back in any way that we can.
Lol ... Mr Grisham ... you might want to get a tax lawyer this year ... I suspect the IRS is preparing an unexpected audit of your finances.
If I were Rush, I'd send this little gem to the attorney. It borders on actionable.
What has been missed here is that a High School Football coah has been suspended for saying Michelle Obama has a fat ass.
Is this country so in love with the Wide Load that we suspend High school Football coach’s for that?
Certainly the First Amendment and it;s usage may have consequences, but this is friggin ridiculous.
Why not just send him to the guillotine?
Geez,one can't even tell the truth anymore.
“Grisham, who was suspended Monday,”
Conservatives need to pack the school board meeting to the rafters, find out who suspended the coach and get him/her/it fired for violating his constitutional rights.
When Michelle really hauls ass, she needs to take two trips.
This is sick.
