   Granted she’s no Laura Bush, Jackie O or Nancy Reagan, but she is the first Lady and while reading the comments here I thought I was on dkos.

   I think you should have stated, “…while reading some of the comments here…”

   Many of the comments have respectfully pointed out that Michelle Obama was disrespectful in her appearance.

   However, I agree with your main point. There’s a big difference between being critical and being mean/shallow.

   If reports are true and she has 22 ladies in waiting (plus a make-up and hair person), I would think one of them would remind her that everytime she leaves their private living quarters she is on stage. Perhaps she wasn’t all that thrilled to be placed in that spotlight, but certainly hasn’t said No to the trips and perks that go along with it.

   Poor, poor taste, Michelle. I’m ashamed she, in a way, is showing her contempt for our nation. I guess she’ not proud of the USA any more after the first time.

   I’ve got a mean comment because Michelle O thinks America is a mean country:

   My God, if she sat in wet cement she’d make a skateboard park.

   Barack in flip flops, Michelle in shorts. They are just cool and breezy, laid back, hipsters, showing the stuffy old codgers that you don’t need to dress up to go to church, or court, or dinner, or ride Air Force One and dress p.c. It’s cool bra!

    How can you possibly talk like this about every female public figure and wonder why more women tend to vote Democrat? Is there a pathological fear of female thighs going around?
    It’s not any more mature when you discuss Michael Moore’s weight problem, but the women definitely get targeted more, on more threads than I care to count. There’s nothing wrong with the way Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton or Janet Reno look, and even if there were, why would you waste so much time picking at it? Just have to let every female Democratic voter who might switch to Republican know that all the stereotypes are true and conservatives think of women only as decoration?
    Or do you just want conservative women who may have the traits you pick on in equal or greater measure to be repulsed by your behavior?
    Sure, argue about whether that’s appropriate attire for Air Force One or not. Etiquette, protocol, diplomacy, whatever. But when you start claiming she’s fat or saying she looks like a man, you are the ones who look…I’m going to be polite here and say “bad.” And you may want to get your vision checked.

    You’re 100% correct about not attacking people’s physical attributes.

    However, you’re dead wrong about it being a conservative thing. In fact, I question your intelligence for suggesting so.

    Corkie,
    I know liberals do it, too. I don’t care as much. I don’t consider myself a liberal, so I don’t feel they’re making me look bad when they do it, and I am tired of watching conservatives take machine guns to their own feet. If liberals want to make themselves look horrible and then get voted out, good for the country.

    Conservatives need to be a little more careful-actually, a lot more careful-because people come to the table with the idea that conservatives are sexist and liberals aren’t. A liberal saying stuff like that is assumed by the general public to be the exception; a conservative is assumed to be the rule. I know better, but I’m sold on conservative ideals already, so who cares what I do or don’t know?

    The way Obama and the Democrats treated Palin during the election was absolutely disgusting, and the MSM made sure to cover that up. Don’t get me started on Bill Clinton, or how being pro-gun, especially pro-small gun, is a necessary feminist position, and I see poor Mrs. Malkin’s posts from her email, too. I don’t even touch Kos.

    However, I always hope for better from conservatives, and have been getting really, really tired of what I’ve been reading on these boards, even more so in conjunction with all the “We’re so classy, and liberals aren’t” stuff. I’m embarrassed by it, as a self-identified conservative.

    And I obviously am not in any kind of permission-giving capacity on this board; I meant only to distinguish what sorts of comments I was and was not complaining about.

    And glad some people agree with me about the physical attributes. Thank you

    Sarcastically asking if,

    Just have to let every female Democratic voter who might switch to Republican know that all the stereotypes are true and conservatives think of women only as decoration?

    isn’t going to produce the effect you desired. Hell, even someone that agreed with you became indignant (me).

    Anyway, trying to guide MM’s commenters away from mean, shallow remarks is a worthy pursuit for both of us.

    Chill. We make fun of Obama whenever his glistening pecs appear.

    We’re equal opportunity gender bashers.

    Can you really look at the “physical appearance” posts about male versus female political players and honestly tell me they are the same in quantity and tone?
