I agree with you. I really do. There have been plenty of not-so-good-looking first ladies, and their natural physical attributes should not matter one whit. Character trumps looks, period.
However, if indeed Michelle is again going under the knife, that in itself is shallow enough to merit comment.
As first spouse, she has responsibilities, including demonstrating class and grace in public appearances. That is not about looks, but it is about good judgement in what she says and wears.
(I’m also tired of paying for her regular “vacations.”)
What drives it is the liberal media's constant drumming of her being so "elegant" and "beautiful". And also this great "fashion icon". They have featured her on the cover of many magazines.
Michelle obama is at least consistent: she’s damned ugly on the inside as well...
