Even Michelle Obama struggles to feel good about her body sometimes. In a recent discussion with Oprah Winfrey, the former first lady talked about fighting societal expectations as she gets older.
“We are so ridiculous as women,” she told Winfrey at the Brooklyn stop of Oprah's "2020 Vision" tour in partnership with Weight Watchers Reimagined, according to People. “We don’t want to talk about our age, and then we want to act like we should look like we did when we were 20, you know? When, I’m sorry, men you can look any kind of way. And it seems to be okay.”(snip)
As the first black first lady, Obama felt heavy scrutiny on the campaign trail and even in the White House. From her bare arms to her butt, every part of her image has been picked over publicly.
“People called me all kinds of things when I was campaigning for Barack, like it was a competition,” she said. “They called me un-American, and this stuff sticks with you. Men talked about the size of my butt. There are people who were telling me I was angry. That stuff hurts, and it makes you sort of wonder, what are people seeing? That stuff is there. And look, I’m a black woman in America. And you know, we’re not always made to feel beautiful. So there’s still that baggage that we carry, and not everyone can relate to that.”

She probably has a female package to match the rest of her-too plump-you do see that with fat women, but most of them don’t wear fitted clothes like she does-I also remember seeing two different versions of 2 of the photos-and it looked to me like the package ones were photoshopped to look that way to make fun of her.
Crotch grabbing isn’t done much here-but in other places-and in Cali both sexes seem to indulge in it-slutty Madonna does it all the time, Joan Jett did it at a couple of concerts-and remember Roseanne Barr at that baseball game?
It is not your body it is your evil heart.
This ugly bitch is whining about “expectations” and yet she was graced with how many magazine covers over 8 years?
And we have the beautiful Melania who no publisher will touch because her name is Trump.
Now, Mitchell, tell me who has the bigger reason to whine?
Not as bad as some of the obese women I’ve seen in the nearest Walmart-25 miles away-the ones in tight jeans/pants look bizarre-also the ones at the gym...
sometimes the truth hurts b*tch...
get over it...
I think I was the first one to coin the phrase First Wookie. I hadn’t seen it before.
Don’t they have some kind of fat suction ( relax people, I said sucTion) for unfortunate places?
Victim, always.

Does not work for the brain
She always had choices regarding her wardrobe and attitude.
That is a little unfair. Those two women are unquestionably hot.
Mike and Obunga rented the kids.
Men cannot have children, no matter how many sex-change hormones they take.
That is it in a nutshell. If someone is mentally attractive, they can be attractive, period.
Not every woman can be Raquel Welch and not every man can be Paul Newman, but if they possess a sound mind that is attractive, even a little bit of looks can go a long, long way.
...now about that bulge in your crotch....
She is ugly inside and out but she has a great body...hell every offensive lineman is envious...
She was treated far better than Melania by the press. I remember her even being called the black Jackie Onassis.
