Michelle Obama has a hangover

This is not a story about Michelle’s reported drinking problem. It’s a story about her belly hanging over the edge of the table in this Newsweek cover photo.

OK, so maybe we’re nitpicking. But if she’s going to continue lecturing us about childhood obesity and the evils of fast food, maybe she should remember that old saying about glass houses.

  • Why is everyone criticizing Michelle Obama? I am sure you all are not the skinniest, most attractive people ever? Your children or probably you are a bit on the "porky" side. People who critisize others are most likely insecure. Michelle Obama may have a differnt body size than your traditional skinny white girl but that is in no way acceptable to cristize her so vehemently. And she should not get lipo to conform with the perception of society. Many of you are most likely jealous of her authority, power, and being a truely beautiful woman inside and out.

  • Damn Yo!!! When I first caught a glimpse of that cover, I thought it was a Star Trek fanzine about Klingons...

    On closer inspection I saw that it was a copy of Newsweek and thought the headline read, "Sasquatch Discovered!"...

    Then I looked even closer and and saw it was just a skeave in a weave that should be wearing long sleaves.

  • Are you kidding? MO has a fanny the size of Cleveland--if she wasn't flat chested she couldn't hide it by wearing a belt under her boobs as 29 yards of billowing fabric to make a tent to hide her huge booty! She's got about 190 pounds of junk in her trunk--and she's porking up nicely thanks to the fine dining at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She's got NO room to call anyone fat in her industrial-grade girdle.

    • I am sure you arent a size 2 yourself! She is healthy and happy probably more than you can say for yourself considering you are putting her down so much due either due to insecurity, jealousy, wanting acceptance of others, fear of the unknown or unfamiliar, laziness. Being critical is easier than being understanding. YOU HAVE FAULTS TOO AND YOU TAKE IT OUT ON HER BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT THAT FACT!

  • I wonder if Michelle is going to lipo that rhino rump she has with the 1 million dollars from the noble peace prize , Obama' s not supposed to keep ! (sorry most people have forgot about that ! especilly the liberial media ) I think she has a rump that even Oprah would be proud of .

    • She can't--he only got 1.3 million for the undeserved Nobel prize. It's not even close to how much it would cost to lipo that enormous rump down to "fashion icon" size 2 and there's a limit to how many pounds of fat they can remove. I'm waiting for America to lose the 180 pounds of useless fat by voting out her husband in 2012.

  • Hey, Laura Bush was not my pin up fantasy by any means. That said I am not digging Michelle the Belle and having to see her everywhere.

    Zoe Saldana or Halle Berry or Ildi Silva... Yes! Show more! Ms Socialist in Chief? Not, not so much, not really, NO!

    Unlike John Mayer, I love me some sexy black women! 8-) But... Black women who spend money they have not earned in excess (your tax dollars), who are stuck up, who lecture others in a hypocritical manner, who are sloppy drunks, who are seeking the spotlight of their man and just along for the ride on his coattails (I do think Obama is gay. Larry Sinclair and that mess. Michelle just stuck with Barry as a meal ticket on to the A List and to get some easy, unearned money form his position), who are self important, who flaunt racists views (Michelle's college work anybody?! Bueller?), who are in general annoying... Pass!

    In case you did not know: Michelle fits the mold as if it was made from her on all those 'deal breaker' points I listed above.

    Whoa! Newsweek shilling for the far left? When did that become common practice? (rhetorical question of course)

  • jesus, does anybody else notice her terrifying elbows?
    and why are there so many wrinkles in her smile?
    and wtf is up with her hairline?!

    • Her hairline is not atypical of that of an black woman who relaxes her hair. If you date black women it is obvious. I dont see the problem there. As for her elbows they seem a bit mannish to me so I am not feeling them, but you do realize she is like 50 or something right? I mean the woman is bound to have wrinkles on her face.

  • Pearls, straight hair, and a french manicure? Has she turned on her past? She looks more like Mrs. Cleaver than she does Eldridge Cleaver.

    • What? I have straight hair sometimes (depends on where I am at with my hairstyle) and I do french manicure. I like pearls as well and I like dresses. Pearls, french manicure and straight hair are not something that just BELONGS to white women/people. That can border on racism to assume that just because she relaxes her hair and wears pearls she is turning away from her past which is I suppose your way of saying heritage (as a black woman). What are we supposed to do? Walk around with afros and african style garbs just because we are black? What about the myriads of white people especially white males who walk around with baggy pants and turn around caps and go around singing rap songs? or wear phat pharm or something? Should I say had they turned on their past? Because of course ALL of those things are just for blacks and no one else can wear them?

      It doesn't make sense to fun of her for wearing something that is absolutely for anyone to wear regardless of "past". If it doesn't fit her appropriately or if she looks ridiculous wearing it that is another issue altogether.

      • I want the two idiots who gave me a thumbs down to talk to me about my post. Show yourselves for who you really are. There is so much of Michelle to criticize, but criticizing her for doing what many women of all colors do is pathetic.

        • Go get 'em KQ! What is wrong with a woman who likes pearls, a manicure and a new hairdo once in a while? Or diamonds, a manicure and a new 'do once in a while? The only problem I have with Mrs. Obummer is she is as clueless as her husband but you have to admit she does need plenty of porch room to sit on.

          • I like to look good and I am sure that my dates appreciate that very much. Getting a french manicure is sexy and it is not just for a certain group of women. There is so much more that Michelle can be hated on. She has gotten really fat lately she is yo yoing... She needs to get down the pedestal that she got herself onto, because she may break it.

  • If it was retouched it was retouched not the first nor last time it has happened.. It is part of the game. The crappy part is when people like Sarah Palin weren't retouched or else their flaws were enhanced if I am not mistaken by this same rack (I think they did the same with George Bush and others). Also the fact that this woman is telling people what they should do with their kids' nutrition,calling her own daughters fat and acting as she is the emblem of health and beauty when she ain't. Besides not everyone can afford chefs, nor 100% organic foods. We try our best. Stay out of my kitchen lady!

  • Will the real Mrs. Obama please stand up? Or at least show up (for real) on a magazine cover? Photoshop! Photoshop! Photoshop!
