Michelle Obama's Gluteal Golpe (Or, the Tale of the Transcendental Tuchis)

Michelle Obama's Gluteal Golpe (Or, the Tale of the Transcendental Tuchis)

She has coruscating intelligence, beauty, style and -- drumroll, please -- a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I'm going to talk about the first lady's butt.)

As I gradually relaxed, as Michelle strode onto more stages and people started focusing on her clothes and presence instead of her patriotism, it dawned on me -- good God, she has a butt! "Obama’s baby (mama) got back," wrote one feminist blogger. "OMG, her butt is humongous!" went a typical comment on one African-American online forum, and while it isn't humongous, per se, it is a solid, round, black, class-A boo-tay. Try as Michelle might to cover it with those Mamie Eisenhower skirts and sheath dresses meant to reassure mainstream voters, the butt would not be denied.

As America fretted about Obama's exoticism and he sought to calm the waters with speeches about unity and common experience, Michelle's body was sending a different message: To hell with biracialism! Compromise, bipartisanship? Don't think so. Here was one clear signifier of blackness that couldn't be tamed, muted or otherwise made invisible. It emerged right before our eyes, in the midst of our growing uncertainty about everything, and we were too bogged down in the daily campaign madness to notice. The one clear predictor of success that the pundits, despite all their fancy maps, charts and holograms, missed completely? Michelle's butt.

In this case, the phrase is used differently, as in, "Thank God Almighty, we are free from an oppressive history of First Ladies with insufficiently Sir-Mix-a-Lottian figures."

I only wish I could say the piece was tongue-in-cheek, but a) it's not very, and b) that phrase might be inappropriate given the subject matter.

“anyone who clicks on this post should be ashamed of themselves.”

Anyone who doesn’t get it should be ashamed of themselves...
but then, you just wouldn’t understand why, anyway...and shame without understanding why it might be useful would offer nothing of use...

And, referencing the acceptance speech pictures in the black widow dress, she’s bow-legged too.

>>”Is her butt bigger ‘n Hitlery’s?”<<

I think on either butt you could get two separate GPS readings.

Imagine this image (if you dare). Her and Hillary stuck in the hallway to the West Wing with Secret Service guys squirting down the walls with KY jelly and Vasoline. Jacks, prybars and forklifts on the way.

I admire her bubble butt, but I do not think she has a clue as to how to make full use of it!

Time will tell.

We have a very sexually active 1st lady married to America's first bisexual president elect.

Thats the real point.

Scandal in the making.

She is far too much woman for Obama to handle.

Like two ZIP codes caught in an elevator. And imagine a midget in that elevator . . . My daddy always told me, “Son, the air is always different to a midget in a crowded elevator.”

A lie, if big enough and told often enough.

Do you think it's possible that Obama and his tribe are the REAL “missing link” that is pondered?

If I would ever be so humbled to meet either of them ... heck, Id’ throw them a banana, as a tribute!

Is her butt bigger ‘n Hitlery’s?

And are you talking about her face or fanny?
