Obama assailed media's disrespect over first lady 'fat butt' story

[TalkRadio]

While president, Barack Obama slammed the press for being “totally disrespectful” after The Washington Post ran a story in 2013 about a high school football coach calling the first lady “fat butt Michelle Obama” while ranting about her efforts to promote healthier school lunches.

In a book set to be released on April 17, Pat Cunnane, senior writer for the Obama administration, wrote about the time the president “steamed” over the Post story titled, “Michelle Obama’s posterior again the subject of a public rant.”

“Totally disrespectful,” Obama said when he read the news about the secret recording of Coach Bob Grisham, who was criticizing the first lady for her efforts to involve the federal government in local businesses, Cunnane wrote in his book, according to the Daily Mail.

“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” Grisham was heard saying in the recording. “Look at her. ... She’s overweight.”

Anti-obesity crusader Michelle Obama feasts on ribs during pricey family vacation

The First Lady, who has spearheaded a campaign to change American eating habits, ate ancho-chile short ribs from a restaurant next to her luxury ski hotel in Vail, Colorado.

The Obamas have already come under fire for the vacation, with the President accused of double standards after appealing for Americans to sacrifice their holidays just days before his wife and children went on the costly skiing trip.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh hit out at the First Lady for her choice of food on Monday.

'And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving ... I'm trying to say that our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you.

Reichwingers are funny, place her butt on a blondie, and they would be calling the blondie 'hot'.


It's only because she's black that is a problem. No homo, but her ass looks wonderful to me.

Oh well, at least she isn't fake like someone else...

The funny thing, 99% percent of the REICHwingers talking shit about her actually look like something that came out of a pork's ass.

Bullshit, and acre of butt on anyone is ugly...and unhealthy.

 

[nowisthetime]

You have all these celebrities such as Kim K and Coco (Ice'T's wife) getting booty shots, praised to the gods, yet reichwingers want to harp on Michelle's lovely hips?

Like I said, you are hypocritical bigots.

She's a beautiful woman for her age, at a time when your wives look like spoiled milk.

If black was so beautiful all the black men wouldn't be after white women so stick your racist bullshit up your own fat ass.

(BTW your man is showing)

 

[nowisthetime]

LOL, lovecraft. Actually blacks have the lowest rates of interracial marriages. Most black people are with other black people.

I never once said black women were more beautiful than white women. But you seem to think the reverse.

I said Michelle was a lovely woman.


I love how you rightists are so easily triggered.

Your racism is showing

You need to learn to be a bit more discerning.

Yes, TalkRadio and Lovecraft's comments were most likely driven by racism.

But the media making fun of Michelle's butt? As offensive as they were - it was tabloid material, just like when they made fun of Melania's likely plastic surgeries.
Comments about Michelle's ethnicity, or about Melania being "white trash": now Those were racist.

She's a beautiful woman for her age, at a time when your wives look like spoiled milk.

And what did you end up doing?
You ended up making an offensive comment about white women.

Now what sort of "Feminist who defends women against the misogynistic pugs" makes such comments?

Michelle is a trigger word to racists like lovecraft, talkradio, and vetteman, so I expect their behavior.

What offensive comment about white women?

Michelle never went on TV insulting Dump like Melanoma has done with Barack accusing him of not being an American. Michelle has always been a classy and intelligent woman who didn't resort to being a golddigger.

The attacks on Michelle are unwarranted and simply a result of repugs being racist dickheads.

And I'm not a feminist.

 

[beew]

I thought that Michelle's idea to replace junk cafeteria food with healthy food for kids was one of the best. At a time when the % of childhood obesity are increasing at an alarming rate.

Not only in the moment (combating childhood obesity), but also for teaching them lifelong healthy habits.

Such a bummer that it didn't go through. Just another evidence that Corporations have bought us all.

 

[beew]

I agree with you on that.
On a personal level, I always liked Michele. She's intelligent, unassuming and classy. I like Melania too, but I dislike Ivanka because she has her head up her ass.

While I was amused by those 'look she has a penis' pictures and she's a man nonsense, I found many of the racist stuff that Republican massmedia said about Michelle to be revolting.
But now Liberals are trying to punish Reps by saying similar things about Melania. How childish ..

Again, Michelle didn't go on to the media talking junk about anyone like Melania. The attacks on Michelle are unwarranted. It's all because she is a tall and muscular build black woman (a white woman of the same composition would never get picked on).

And the fact that she was confident and not a mammy triggered racist rightwingers.

 

[beew]

Again, Michelle didn't go on to the media talking junk about anyone like Melania. The attacks on Michelle are unwarranted. .

I wasn't aware of Melania making racist or bigotted comments.
I must have missed them.

I'm surprised, because she didn't come across to me as such.
Therefore, I wonder if they have been purposefully taken out of context and misinterpreted, in order to justify people's xenophobic attacks on her. Similarly to what racists are doing with Michelle.

Could you please give me some links?
For me to judge for myself.

You SO misinterpreted her motive behind those comments.

Yes, in another context they would have been racist.
But not in his one. Didn't you hear the reporter's opening comments?

Melania was simply acting in self-defense and deflecting attacks on her.
"Why are you attacking Me, and giving Obama a pass for the same thing?"

Which the reporter proved that Melania was right in the ed, by cutting her short aka "I'm ok with attacking you, but not Obama".

Plus didn't you hear the nice things she said about Obama in the end, that he's genuine and ill-intended?

You must have missed the part at the very beginning where Joy asked, "What is it with the birth certificate obsession, did he ask to see yours?"

Then Melania replies with BS and asks, "Do you want to see President Obama's birth certificate?"

"It's not the birth certificate"

Come on, beew.

Everyone knows 45 was one of the first bigots to go after Obama and claim that he wasn't legitimately American. All based on his skin color and foreign sounding name. Yes, that is pure racism, this was never asked of previous presidents with Anglo surnames.

What business is it of hers to ask when her husband still hasn't shown his tax documents?

She never praised him, she praised her husband and said in broken English that the country is going downhill because of Obama. When she said he was very passionate about the country 'to do well' she was referring to 45.

Well, that puts a different spin on things, but I need more evidence to come to the conclusion that she's racist.

Personally, I find the attacks re Obama's birth certificate to be bullshit. But I can see how two kinds of people would use it:
1.xenophobes and racists
2.those who try to bring down their political rival at all costs, and we all know how ugly these campaigns can become. Didn't they claim that Melania was a whore and Trump a rapist (I wouldn't comment on the latter, but at the time they didn't have evidence).

As to category no.2:
one can argue that they weren't attacking Obama for his skin tone, but for the fact that he was born overseas, especially if his father was Muslim, "Are we sure that his allegiance will always be to his mostly Christian country, and not to part of his blood?"
Flawed logic and typical campaign dirty attacks, but not always driven by racism.

Well you see it a little differently from me. To me and many others, it is driven by racism and xenophobia. His father renounced Islam and became an atheist and his father was not part of his life (parents divorced when he was 2, then was killed in car accident). So he has no allegiance to Islam, their argument is mute.
