America, your socialist leader, Saul Alinsky Obama has told us we have to tighten our belts…stop driving so much…turn down our heat…eat more at home, etc. so that we can save all our money so he can spend it!

He and his wife, Michele, have done nothing but party since they arrived at the White House.

Party after party after party! $100 steaks, lobster, wine, martinis….all on our bill.

How many of you, America, have had parties with $100 steaks even when not in a recession?

This socialist…is an elitist multi millionaire who does not identify with the American public.

He has a policy and that is…”do as I say…not as I do”!

Yeah…how many of us could do what you do…fly all over the country in our plane…live free in our house…buy $100 steaks for a lavish party…fly off to our weekend retreat at Camp David…fly to Chicago to take your wife to an expensive valentine dinner…all on the taxpayer dollars.

What the heck, America, we are just the peons that supply the money to let this crazy man do what he does…party…party…party!

Big shot playing with our hard earned money.

Get a life…bubba!

==============================

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS SLEEVELESS AND THOUGHTLESS WIFE, MICHELE!

Wow, F.O., let that right-wing hate soar!

sue   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:17 pm

1.) The official portrait has been photoshopped(what a waistline!).
2.) Can we stop talking about her arms and start hearing about her causes?
3.) Can we stop talking about their workout schedules and hear about what their doing for the country?(Dow at this time way under 7000)

What is she?   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:19 pm

AN ANTI-AMERICAN MUSLIM, WHO CARES ABOUT MUSLIM OBAMA?

Barbara Bush had better fashion taste and is better in bed than this dishrag Ms. Obama Hussein.

m-antony   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:40 pm

She is a gorilla.She looks like a free safety.barrak must be a queen.

5kidsnadog   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:42 pm

Mrs. Obama is going with that old adage of playing up your best features. Baring her arms keeps your attention focused on her midsection, which looks good. Drawing your eye away from the her face and her lower body is what any fashion consultant would tell her to do. Also, since they keep the White House warm enough to grow orchids now, wearing a jacket would be really uncomfortable. How would it look if our first lady was dotted with sweat? Sheesh. Doesn’t anyone know anything?

Gandhi's Fist   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:52 pm

Who cares? Arms–shmarms.

Other   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:56 pm

I’d hit it

Mamaganoosh   March 2nd, 2009 - 2:58 pm

Maybe the ones who are complaining are old and fat with bat-wing arms? Hmm? Hiss-Hiss, your cat-claws are showing. Like her or not, she’s in great shape and she sets a good example for the fatties of this country.

5kidsnadog   March 2nd, 2009 - 3:21 pm

Mamaganoosh, I think the problem people have with it is not so much the arms. It’s probably more about their frustration with the way that the Obama’s idyllic marriage, style, brilliance, and all things Obama are being greased up and shoved down our throats. If you’re an Obama supporter, this must all seem great, but if you’re someone who has serious concerns about where we’re going as a country with Obama, you might just be feeling a little bit like the atheist who finds himself somehow, impossibly surrounded by Evangelists in a revival tent. You’re unlikely to be convinced, but that doesn’t stop them from shoving the scripture in your face in an effort to convert your poor, lost soul.

I, for one, as someone with serious reservations about Mr. Obama, his plans, and his integrity, would like just to be able to turn on the TV and not be confronted with ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN, along with the Animal Planet (seriously!) pondering such important questions as Michelle’s toned arms, Barack’s glistening pec’s, hard hitting questions like whether he’s really like Abe Lincoln, FDR, Jesus, or kind of a combination, or whether the Obama’s will get a Goldendoodle or a Portugese Water Dog. I’d like to go the grocery store and not have to be confronted with twelve magazine covers, all bearing the likeness of either Michelle, Michelle and Barack, Michelle and the kids, or some combination thereof with glowing taglines like “Why Barack Loves Michelle”. I’d like to go the book store and find books of substance right up front rather than the Obama table set up with the Obama books, the Obama playing cards, and the blow up Obama that you can sit on your desk for those pesky times when you just need the image of the President and can’t turn your head to see the banner on the wall. I’d like to see the newspapers seriously carrying some hard hitting news again rather than column after column lauding his latest speech, or his “uber” brilliance, or why his plan is really just going to bring “respect” to our country for the first time in “eight years”.

So if folks are picking on Michelle’s arms, which are absolutely lovely, it probably has more to do with their frustration with the rest of society than with the actual arms. Get it?

She has GREAT ARMS   March 2nd, 2009 - 3:25 pm

Oh, come on, people! Leave the woman alone. If she’s comfortable with bare arms, leave her alone. They’re HER arms. She has GREAT ARMS, so why not show them off? She knows they are a great asset, and she is well aware that she has other physical features that are not so great, so she likes to play up her best features, just like EVERYONE ELSE!

Am personally not crazy about any of the Obamas, but all this nitpicking and harping about her ARMS is shallow and ridiculous. Am glad to see she has found a style that works for her. That red & black dress she wore on Election night and that pea-green & yellow “stuff” she had on at the Inauguration were PRETENTIOUS & UNATTRACTIVE and she drew a lot of criticism for them. Now she wears something that looks GREAT and she has grace and poise, and people still want to find fault.

Maybe it’s just SOUR GRAPES doing the complaining?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   March 2nd, 2009 - 3:59 pm

America…don’t forget our “ace in the hole” the birth certificate.

Remember the (2) active duty soldiers that have come forward to fight to see it and confirm their loyalty to an “official” President…that is all they are asking. Prove that he “is” officially their Commander n’ Chief.

Here is the article posted on World Net Daily on 2/26/09.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89941

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION… IF YOU FEEL THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS IMPORTANT, AND SHOULD BE REVEALED!

And pass this site on to friends and family so that they can get involved also!

As a person that can’t speak out at the time due to my oath. I’m sure you will understand. I thank you for what you are doing. We are watching that petition every day. Keep it up and you will see true defenders of our Constitution take action. Stop now and we will be crucified before we get moving. We need your help to get the momentum rolling on this issue or we will not see resolution until its to late. When there is enough momentum to succeed you will have your resolution. Stop short and you’ll be squashed.

Article II Section one:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Good luck and God bless America.

Al Hussein Obama   March 2nd, 2009 - 4:18 pm

Obama is Wonderful! I am a Muslim and I claim a part of him as MUSLIM too! We WON yankees! We are taking over! Get used 2 it! hehe ..xx

tnwoman   March 2nd, 2009 - 4:24 pm

To 5kidsnadog: You are so transparent and funny.
Stop being so jealous and resentful of President Obama and the First Lady. They are a fresh new couple who are smart, attractive, with cute kids and a seemingly happy marriage. Probably with time, they will not be on so many magazine covers. They are new and people are for the most part curious about them. In the meantime, take a deep breath averrt your eyes, and walk by those magazine covers and books displaying pictures of the Obamas. Also, pray to God that He will help you get over this envy and hate. If you are sincere in your desire to give them up and live in peace, He will take them away from you. He is a good and loving God. Have a very blessed day.

P.S: For a person with five kids and a dog to care for, you have quite a lot of time on your hands.

5kidsnadog   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:16 pm

Hmmmm, tnwoman, you must type and read verrrrrry slowly. My responses didn’t take much time at all! I made 2 loaves of bread, 8 dozen cookies, 2 dozen muffins and soup for two families in need today while I took care of my children and my dog. I guess some of us just are more efficient than others?

I’m not jealous of the Obamas. I was merely trying to tell people why it would be that anyone would be taking something as seemingly inconsequential as bare arms and turn it into an issue. It’s not about the arms.

I’m not a right wing hate monger. I’m not a religious kook. I’m not even a Republican. I’m just someone who wishes that I thought that $900 million of our hard earned dollars being given to Palestine was actually NOT going to be used to support Hamas. I wish that I thought that guaranteeing the rights of women around the world to have abortions at the expense of the United States taxpayers was good. I wish that I thought that bankrupting the coal industry would not result in unaffordable electricity prices for all, and cause more harm to humans than it did “good” for the environment. I wish that I thought we could power America with solar and wind. I wish that I thought that trying to fix the economy by digging a bigger hole and enslaving our children to a debt that they didn’t incur was a good thing.

If you are happy with where we’re going, then that’s great. All I was telling you was that not everyone feels that way, and that there are probably more of people like me than you would ever imagine.

Ugly stick   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:26 pm

This arrogant woman is so ugly, she looks like she got beat with an ugly stick, and some one forgot to stop hitting her.

Salute to you!   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:28 pm

To: 5kidsnadog–I think I can speak for other like-thinkers in that you are a breath of fresh air. You hit the nail on the head. Libtards don’t like your kind around these parts. Gov. Sarah Palin is not liked either, nor is Gov. Bobby Jindal. Palin, Jindal and yourself are about true Americana. You go about taking care of you and yours without ever thinking that you need a hand up. You are an independent thinker, but see where we are headed, away from the values that built this country. There are many like you, just not willing to speak out. America needs you and your family. We need to get your kind of clear thinking out to the masses, rather than the herd mentality that elected Obama. God Bless you and yours.

GiveMeLiberty   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:38 pm

I could care less what this woman wears, but it’s hard to ignore when she’s on the cover of every magazine and in the newspaper with her next sleeveless dress on. She’s suppose to be the first lady NOT some starlet. What are her causes, what’s important to her (now that she’s proud of her country for the first time in her life, mind you!!) how does she want to make a difference. She’s loving the attention she’s getting and I’m thinking her agenda is not that important right now.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:43 pm

Look, America, I am not a big fan of Michele Obama and her husband…but we need to draw a line on the comments getting ugly and personal.

I chide the “young” “irreverant” “ultra-liberal” “left wingers” for having nothing to say of substance except calling names and making personal comments about appearance.

It isn’t fair for us to do the same…let’s not lower ourselves to what they are…please!

I, personally, think Michele is an “attractive” woman in her own way…like most of us. So stop with the barage of insults and let’s deal with the problem…her husband’s socialist policies and his spending our money!

Let’s focus on the constant events that they are giving in the White House that is costing us taxpayers again…not what she is wearing…leaving that to the fashion pages!

Let’s focus…let’s concentrate on what matters!

Big Mama   March 2nd, 2009 - 5:49 pm

It’s obvious why she and the Obama loving press are focusing on her arms…it’s to draw attention away from her giant ass. We are seeing Big Mama in the making!

When your ass is wider than your shoulders, then you’ve got issues. And wearing those sleeveless tent dresses isn’t going to hide it forever. She could always take up smoking like her husband to help curb the weight.

All of you Americans need to lose weight and stop smoking just like the err…Obamas.

Really?   March 2nd, 2009 - 7:22 pm

Really? Are you kidding!

Maybe the question should be is it appropriate to be partying so much during this financial crisis.

Maybe the question should be why is it Obama is telling Americans to tighten their belts yet parties like a Rock Star.

Maybe the question should be why is it do as I say (Obama) not as I do.

Maybe if we focus on somethiing as insane as her tone arms we will forget Obama is spending our tax dollars on her wardrobe.

Seriously! More of the frakin same!

Big Mama   March 2nd, 2009 - 7:23 pm

As for Photoshopping, of course the press is Photoshopping Michelle. I mean they can make Madonna look somewhat…well that’s pushing it. I
It’s hard to alter live television. That’s where you see here wear her biggest and most flared (yes with bare arms) dresses. Just pause your Tivo, and get out the ruler.

Michelle has a big butt. Obama smokes cigarettes. What great examples of healthy living for America.

Michelle, cut out the partying and go for a walk. Your butt is embarrassing. Someone should do a first 100 days on her huuuge ass.

Chelsea   March 3rd, 2009 - 1:33 am

Notice the well tailored clothes that Jackie O wore: the sleeveless dresses were not cut in but straight, the dresses were not form fitting like a sausage skin. Jackie O walked with grace with body part protrudign. The fabric did not cling to all the wrong parts.
NOW to the important: What is Mrs. O contributing to the nation? Parties? PUBLIC education? Literacy? UH? Girls’ Nights out?

Chelsea   March 3rd, 2009 - 1:39 am

Correction: Jackie O walked with grace with NO BODY PART PROTRUDING. She did not LUMBER.

gail   March 3rd, 2009 - 4:25 am

It is common sense, put a damn jacket on it is the dead of winter! I would think my children were fools walking around this time of year with their bare arms hanging out! My mom always said, that “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”….. I think that is the problem here… It is a reflection of her raising! She seems to have some deep seeded anger that always seems just under the surface…

Bucalasus Jones   March 3rd, 2009 - 11:54 am

It’s not her arms that need covered. Now where is that sack.

Hey DanielTUSA OMFG LOL!!!

Mary   March 3rd, 2009 - 9:57 pm

the only thing missing is the booze. If she drinks as much as BO does she does not need sleeves. She is full of antifreeze. Every time I see a picture of that man he is toasting someone with a martini or a glass of wine. I really wonder if the prez should go to AA meetings…

rev.right   March 3rd, 2009 - 10:24 pm

F. O.How about you saying that stuff to some Black people in person,instead of hiding behind a computer.Come back and tell us how you came out.

Look, America, I am not a big fan of Michele Obama and her husband…but we need to draw a line on the comments getting ugly and personal.
