Well, it's a dude, so...

t's no secret that body shaming still exists, and it can be especially prevalent for celebrities and people in the public eye.
And it turns out even the former First Lady of the US, Michelle Obama, isn't unaffected by the prospect of coming under scrutiny when it comes to body shaming.
In fact, her husband Barack Obama has reportedly revealed that one of Michelle's goals as First Lady was to never be photographed by the paparazzi in a bikini or swimming costume, presumably partly down to the prospect of receiving harsh comments and not wanting her privacy to be violated.
In his new memoir The Promised Land, Barack tells a story of how he and daughter Sasha were once heading on a trip to the beach, with Michelle refusing to go with them. He goes on to say that Michelle had vowed that as First Lady she wouldn't be photographed in a swimsuit.
Barack has since told Vanity Fair, "She [Michelle] was serious. 'This is one of my main goals as First Lady. I will not be photographed by the paparazzi in a bathing suit,' [she said]. And she succeeded."
Yes, they even made the cover of the current PEOPLE magazine, an extremely youthful and curated looking Barack actually occupying center stage: “HOW LOVE SAW US THROUGH” taking over most of the space not occupied by Barry.I guess the subliminal implication there was that it was SUCH a stress on both of them to be in the White House that oodles and oodles of selfless love (for America’s sake) were needed to “see them through”.
—as G. Legman used to say “Pardon me while I puke”
Well, you can’t say her and I do not share some of the same goals...

Thank Gawd she wasn’t and we were spared that eye sore.
Well, it's a dude, so...
Just for the record we are all pretty thankful for that too
Is that a microphone in your bikini bottom, Michelle, or are you just happy to see me?
Yep. When the lump in the crotch is bigger than the lumps in the top—Houston we have a problem.
Probably impossible to hide Mike’s pelker in a large size speedo.
One of my life goals is also to never see Mike (Chewbacca) Obama in a bikini.
They stopped her clock for spilling what we already knew.
Talking about setting your goals low?
Mike not you. :)
Stop posting oversize pictures, it ruins tube thread for ipads
Some clothes should not be made in certain sizes.
This is the first time I have been proud of her.
Not so much the impressive package; rather, the big fat ass
Roger that.
Were it not for the unsupportable amount of overhead it would incur, it would be sweet if the webserver could check the size of the image, and insert an appropriate WIDTH element in the IMG tag to resize it down to something appropriate to a tablet. Unfortunately that's not practical.
How soon after that picture was taken, did she croak? I wonder if it was related to her statement?
Finally someone who knows the difference!
