Can’t wait to see those bulky, overweight, thunder thighs in shorts. Maybe Obambi will be seen at courtside astride his girls’ bike wearing that bedpan on his head with that stupid grin on his face.

Ah . . . the leader of the free world and her husband.

You want to see that fat ass in a tennis skirt? You are a nut.

I thought Michelle was watching her husband read the teleprompters by looking at her watching a tennis match.

She doesn’t impress me as a jock. So this little gig is a pre-empt to something else.

But the thing is I think this is just a buying trip for thunder hips..I watched the NY news this morning and the Tennis games are canceled until the weather is better..Which the news said it was going to rain every day..Just something more to spend thousands of dollars on by running to NYC on Air Force 11..

There's something strange about the way this is stated: "Michelle Obama, a tennis player..."

Sounds sort of forced...like, they were given those words to use for the article. Why not say, Michelle Obama, who likes to play tennis occasionally...or something like that. But to call her "a tennis player,' although probably technically true, just makes it sound as though they were trying to make it seem like she has some great profession as a player, or plays all the time.

No one ever said: John Kennedy, a football player, etc. and JFK and his family certainly liked to play the game. Or, no one said, George Bush, a horse rider, etc.

It is just odd sounding to me and a strange way for a writer to connect Michelle to the game of tennis...which she has probably played only a couple of times.

Think I've found the reason for that east coast earthquake last month...

Undoubtedly, she will sit with Mayor David Dinkins - another incompetent politico who LOVED tennis and never missed the U.S. Open. In fact, he got LaGuardia Airport to reroute their planes so participants didn’t get their little ears hurt.

Can’t see her being light enough on her feet for tennis.
Can you imagine the noise from her sneakers as she goes plop, plop on the court?

Remember when obama said about Sarah....”You can put lipstick on a pig but in the end you still have a pig”. He came up with that pretty quick, so he must have been thinking it of mitch-chell.

These people know how to have a party everyday on the tax payers money. The people voted for a free party for the Obama family and friends. The media seems to enjoy it!
