'Michelle Obama has a large posterior': Rep Jim Sensenbrenner thinks the First Lady doesn't practice what she preaches

I just want to know why is looking at her backside anyway. If he is married he needs to keep his eyes on his wife not other women.

I agree how low will people go- Eavesdropping on a private phone call is low - Even for democrats

If he is out in public and "talking very loudly on his cell phone" it can hardly be considered a "private" phone call. Please stop talking and/or thinking out of your posterior..

What a ridiculously STUPID thing to say...I didn't even have to look to see that he is a Republican to guess.

Even beyond that, using a cell phone loud enough to be overheard in a public area...well, that just confirms my 'ridiculously stupid' assessment !!

Did you see HIS picture? HIS largeness is not result of bone structure, but the over indulgence of a typical Pol.

Cell phone conversation in an airport, he didn't seek privacy and probably wanted to be overheard. He is no Adonis himself with that white wall tire hanging over his belt.

How does it feel to be the A-hole of the day. Your childish comment is typical from a TeaNut.

And your immature name calling is typical of an "educated" liberal i guess?

Yes he wanted a Democratic "operative" to hear his conversation

A Democratic operative, who said he heard the conversation, told FishbowlDC that he was talking to someone about an incident that occurred three weeks ago at an Episcopal church auction.

Yes, this is disgusting and I also find it very disturbing when Congress, and especially men, think they can make the decision about birth control and a woman's right to chose. I say, it is none of their damn business. There are so many other discussions they should be having, like men practising self-control, ie, looking at the Presidents wife and making comments.

Name calling is against the CoH as done in comment 1.7 and has been reported.

Hopefully, the seeder/moderator will delete it as a violation regardless of her personal stance on the issue.

#1:How low will these people sink in their narrow minded sexist prejudices and boorish behaviour? :o)

Oh dear, please don't be amazed or surprised! They haven't come close to the bottom yet.

I see this as one of the rather nicest/nastiest- if not at the same time the most vulgar- things they can say about The First Lady. I am sure they want to say something that is absolutely rude and despicable but that no one can print!

I am also sure that they wish their "wives or mates/partners/significant others" had an asxxe like The First Lady and they could only touch it! Perverts!

They are holding their breaths as they let this "complimentary bit" ooze out of their scummy mouths. Remember, they have no gauge on manners or respect because they have no teachings on the subjects.

Pervert would be the person talking about grabbing a woman's ass - Which was never even mentioned in the story

They are holding their breaths as they let this "complimentary bit" ooze out of their scummy mouths. Remember, they have no gauge on manners or respect because they have no teachings on the subjects.

But you do ? Funny but this was man talking on a phone when a "democratic operative" listened in on his personal phone call- But i guess listening to others on the phone is respectful and shows manners?

Hmmm...

from the photo, it looks like puffy faced Rep Jim Sensenbrenner has a DOUBLE chin.

@Boston,

Sir, it can hardly be considered a private conversation when out in a public location such as a AIRPORT..

This politician has been in the political arena long enough to know that there are reporters and other political affiliates watching and listening. Especially when out in public. Just accept that what he said was inappropiate and move on.

Doesn't seem like the Congressman pushes himself away from the table much. Mrs. Obama is a beautiful woman. Her healthy eating initiatives are timely given the problem with obesity in children.

@RI Mom,

Rep Jim Sensenbrenner has a DOUBLE chin

And apparently, a double standard...

I believe the term we had in the service for the Jim's of the world was sorry a$$ FAT F..K!

The question is why republicans do not believe in taking care of their children's health? How do I know they don't? By the fact that it offends them that someone would make the suggestion that parents should watch their children's diets.

Only those who are not concerned with their children's health would complain.

What we need is a 4 -page centerfold photo of Jim Sensenbrenner's naked butt for comparison. That should scare people into exercising their butts off and losing weight.

Rep Jim Sensenbrenner has a DOUBLE chin

And I wonder if he has triple chins under each butt cheeks.

tsk tsk tsk....everyone is taking this out of context...

Sensebrenner, while referring to the First Lady's "ass", was talking about her HUSBAND, not her backside.

//s//

Typical male chauvinist ahole.

Ask all Republicans and their politicians who's lady has a butt, or body for that matter, that compares to Michelle's. Baby's got back! (I thinks that's how that saying goes.) And I think Michelle sports her posterior just fine. Michelle Bachmann and or Sarah Palin can't come even close.

Does the person who wrote the article really know that he's talking about Sensenbrenner? He refers to him as 'Wisconsin Governor'. Sensenbrenner has never been the governor of Wisconsin. He then states that Sensenbrenner was 'allegedly' heard on his cell phone which means somebody heard one half of a conversation:

The Wisconsin governor was allegedly heard talking very loudly on his cell phone about the First Lady's posterior, which he described as 'large'.

This is shaky at best. It may be true, but there are not a lot of facts at this point. Lots of unsubstantiated rumor though. Always good for the left to run with.

One would think the "tampon king" of Wisconsin would know something about filling holes, maybe he should learn how to shut his piehole.....

This is shaky at best. It may be true, but there are not a lot of facts at this point. Lots of unsubstantiated rumor though. Always good for the left to run with.

There's enough truth to it that Sensenbrenner feels the need to apologize to the first lady over it. Did you read the whole article?

How low will these people sink in their narrow minded sexist prejudices and boorish behaviour? :o)

the modern republican party have proven there is no bottom.

They love to say dems did it to, but WE NEVER ATTACKED BUSH"S WIFE.. NEVER.

This is shaky at best. It may be true, but there are not a lot of facts at this point. Lots of unsubstantiated rumor though. Always good for the left to run with.

ya except Sensenbrenner has stated he regrets making the comment (more like being heard and called out on it) and that he apologizes... being apologists for very poor behavior always good for the right to run with...

Nonsensenbrenner can kiss MY ass!.

Merry Christmas, Dildo!

The Wisconsin governor was allegedly heard talking very loudly on his cell phone about the First Lady's posterior, which he described as 'large'.

Sir Mix-a-Lot does not endorse the governor's opinion.

Eavesdropping on a private phone call is low - Even for democrats

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Kinda like the George W. "Warrantless Wiretapping" Bush administration...

GOP word of day is ASININE.

He should watch out for his own lardass.

Not to mention the Barack H. "Warrantless Wiretapping" Obama administration...

I don't want to sound sexist, but all of the ladies have large butts. And, as one hetro man who speaks honestly, we all LOVE IT! Notwithstanding the overt sexism of that statement, Mrs. Obama has an excellent figure; maybe not worthy of fashion model, but they are usually so skinny, they would blow away in a breeze storm. I find it appalling that this member of Congress, who is obviously not a workout guru, would criticize the First Lady for his own flaws. To do so loudly, in a cell phone conversation (or, any other conversation) is worse than sexism; I really don't know what to call it, so I will leave that for the ladies herein.

To be fair, he was criticizing her for hypocrisy, not for a fat ass per se.

Not that her ass is particularly fat. I'd say above average for the typical 47 year old female.

I agree grumpy jon, comparative to men, women do. Those who think First Lady Michelle's is inordinately large are just partisan hacks... she is perfectly within the range proportional to her height and weight, IMHO. But what if she wasn't? I am grateful I don't belong to a party that takes pleasure in tearing down a woman based on an accident of marriage, or their teenaged daughters...

By the way, Sensenbrenner, you could fit the equivalent of 8 of her butts into your sausage laden gut and thats a conservative estimate...

I know this has been said already but, does he know how fat he is?! for god's sake he has an enormous double chin and a beer belly the size of his posterior! She is a certain figure but is not by any means fat or out of shape.

They love to say dems did it to, but WE NEVER ATTACKED BUSH"S WIFE.. NEVER.

Were you joking? I think the normal thing is to add the "/s/" tag at the end when you're being sarcastic.

Not to mention the Barack H. "Warrantless Wiretapping" Obama administration...

Mean what exactly? This program was of course part of The Patriot Act under the Bush administration and bizzarely was supported by most Americans. Did you change your mind now that Obama is in the White House!

How low will these people sink in their narrow minded sexist prejudices and boorish behaviour?

give it a day.

i don't think Mrs. Obama's posterior is particularly large, however, maybe the president will bust out with some lines from "Baby Got Back"?

Meaning aside from his spending habits, there isn't much of a difference between Obama and Bush.

Well, in comparison Bush was tight fisted with the public fisc.

Also one must take in her genetic history. She is a black woman. We are famous for several body types. This is true no matter what ethnicity you are. Each ethnicity tends to run to 2 or 3 standard body types. With black women, one of those is large thighs and buttocks. Is Mrs. Obama hippy? Yeah, she sure is. Does she have a large arse? Yep she sure does. Is that one of the typical body types, yes it sure is. Is she obese, overweight, or in any case outside the norm? Nope, not a bit.

She looks fine and apparently Mr. President thinks she looks more than fine. As long as she is healthy and happy, then Sensenbrenner needs to shut up.

Above average for 47, in my opinion.

Looks like the good congressman hasn't stepped away from the table himself. He probably ate enough kielbasa and drunk enough beers to block a colon.

At the risk of sounding like the male pig that I am, I think she looks GREAT! Except for her slightly smaller boobs, her skin tone and body look almost exactly like my wife!

You pig!

TCaddle:

Jim's of the world was sorry a$$ FAT F..K!

I couldn't have said it better myself. :)

This comment is degrading to women in general, not just the First Lady. With all our accomplishments, too many of us are still judged on our appearance. Perhaps it is his generation which still believes women are best left in the kitchen but it doesn't excuse him.

And your immature name calling is typical of an "educated" liberal i guess?

Actually it would qualify him to be a righty.

WE NEVER ATTACKED BUSH"S WIFE.. NEVER.

Were you joking?

NO. The VAST majority of liberals were, and are, very respectful of her, despite her vehicular history (there are a FEW idiots who were not, but they are treated pretty similarly to this instance, it's just not appropriate!) The same CANNOT be said of conservatives, 'Moochelle' and such is rampant on the right, it's a sad, sad day to be a Republican.

Well, in comparison Bush was tight fisted with the public fisc.

hardly. not at all, actually. W expanded federal spending, while Obama has shrunk government, including employees. and on top of that, like with the rest of his life, W cheated, keeping Afghanistan, Iraq, Medicare Part D off of the books.

but hey, don't let facts get in the way of your fairy tale.

Michelle Obama is the best looking first lady we've had since Kennedy.

cons are jealous.

while Obama has shrunk government, including employees.

Bush spent like a drunken sailor (which I've been saying since about 2002).

Obama spends like a drunken sailor on crack.

As to fairy tails...

Federal employment (from the OPM, in thousands)

2000 4,129

2004 4,187

2008 4,206

2010 4,443

http://www.opm.gov/feddata/HistoricalTables/TotalGovernmentSince1962.asp

Or as politifact.com would say...

...employment statistics posted online by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Sure enough, between February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office, and June 2010, the number of private-sector jobs dropped from 110.3 million to 107.7 million, a decrease of nearly 2.7 million. In the same period, the number of federal government workers rose from 2,792,000 to 3,171,000, an increase of 379,000.

Next, we contacted the BLS for more detail on the employment numbers.

Not counting the temporary census workers leaves 46,000 other federal workers added on Obama’s watch.

Disregarding postal workers, who the BLS advises aren’t paid with federal tax aid, the number of federal workers through most of Bush’s presidency hovered around 1.9 million before passing 2 million in May 2008, according to the bureau. After Obama took over, the number of federal workers reached 2.2 million in April 2009, then dipped to 2.1 million by June 2009 before inching up to top 2.3 million in April 2010. There was a sizable one-month bump, to 2.7 million federal workers in May 2010, though the non-postal federal workforce dropped to 2.5 million in June 2010 and to less than 2.4 million in July.

Obama has shrunk government employment, thanks for the laugh.

Michelle Obama is the best looking first lady we've had since Kennedy.

I'll agree with that, but to be honest that is damning with faint praise.

All that MONEY, and Senslessbrenner coudn't buy a clue on how to be a statesman, much less a gentleman..

He is the millionaire heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune, (Kleenex and Scott paper towels). He is reportedly worth over $11 million. Sensenbrenner has the fourth-highest amount of investment in oil stocks and was the top-ranking House member in terms of travel costs paid by private interests .

there are a FEW idiots who were not, but they are treated pretty similarly to this instance, it's just not appropriate!

HA! You just called Keith Olbermann an idiot. I've been trying to get a liberal to say that for years. Bookmarked for future reference.

The VAST majority of liberals were, and are, very respectful of her, despite her vehicular history

I want to clarify that the quote emphasized NEVER!

That wouldn't imply a minority - that means - NEVER!

The same CANNOT be said of conservatives, 'Moochelle' and such is rampant on the right, it's a sad, sad day to be a Republican.

Honestly, I've never even heard her called "Moochelle". You're the first person I've ever heard refer to her as that - but - you're still also equating a few 'posters', to pundits.

I would agree with you that it's more rampant on the right - but - hardly to the extent you seem to be implying.

That is all.

Matt You posted one example when she was first Lady...2010 Michelle Obama was the first Lady . Laura Bush had a biography book she put out the keith and Wollf crtiqued respectfully. are you kidding me? Thats like comparing a bic lighter to a 50K spotlight...I always said of her accident , it was tragic it happens and I feel for her, but if Hillary or Michelle did it the whining right would broadcast ubiquitously 24/7 , be thankful that we are not you.

President Obama needs to kick his ass of looking at his wife in such a disrespectful manner and if he's busy I'll do it for him.

He needs to appologize and MEAN it.

The GOP should climb all over his ass.

Sensenbrenner faced a deluge of criticism after FishbowlDC reported on an overheard phone conversation in the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan International Airport, in which the congressman complained that the first lady "lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself."

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/271676/20111222/jim-sensenbrenner-apologizes-michelle-obama-fat.htm

Good the fat bastard!

Obama spends like a drunken sailor on crack.

Really? Please, elaborate on where all this NEW SPENDING is going to.

He was stuck with a gaping hole in revenue thanks to the Bush Tax Gift to the Rich, 2 ground wars that were off the books, and you say OBAMA is spending like mad?!

First of all, our First Lady is a strikingly beautiful, intelligent, educated woman...and I respect President Obama for marrying his intellectual equal.

Secondly, people with pumpkin heads shouldn't be childish enough to attempt to make fun of anybody's physical attributes.

And lastly....Jim...where's your SENSEnbrenner.

Not that her ass is particularly fat. I'd say above average for the typical 47 year old female.

Its healthier to carry weight in your lower extremities than in the upper areas where it can surround organs and clog heart arteries.

Having junk in your trunk is healthier than a spare tire around the gut, new research suggests. The extra padding on the backside and thighs could even help to protect against disease.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34830500/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/t/fat-butt-it-may-be-healthier-you-think/

Laura Bush had a biography book she put out the keith and Wollf crtiqued respectfully. are you kidding me?

LOL! Did you watch the video? If that's respectful - saying Michelle Obama has a big butt is a compliment...

How about this one? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/16/laura-bush-book-cover-sca_n_540871.html

Where your favorite liberal allows you to vote for what depicts Laura Bush best:

Corpse-like scary

Zombie terrifying

That's respectful?

Or the respectful title:

Behold, the ideal Republican wife: Prim, sexless, nearly useless, lets the men do the real thinkin'. Hot!

And of course, the epitome of respectful commentary from that article:

All of this comes to mind as I see, skirting across the newswires, a handful of generic photos and sidebar stories of Laura Bush out on tour recently with her twin Styrofoam peanut daughters, Jenna and Barbara, promoting a new children's book they all apparently, and yeah right, wrote together and isn't that sweet.

You mean docile, prudish, former librarian Laura Bush, she of the nonexistent inspiration and dull-as-dishwater personality? Yes indeed, that Laura Bush.

HA! That was just a couple of them.

lmao Colodomom !!

Couldn't help the mangling of his last name...I should be more mature than that but sometimes I slip.

(cheezy grin).

In case anybody is wondering why the name "Sensenbrenner" sounds familiar:

On June 17, 2005, Sensenbrenner, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, abruptly ended a meeting where Republicans and Democrats were supposed to be debating the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act and walked out in response to Democratic members raising issues regarding human rights violations at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay and the ongoing Iraq war. He ordered the court reporter to halt transcriptions of the proceedings, C-SPAN cameras covering the meeting be shut off, and that discussion on the issue be halted. Sensenbrenner defended his actions by claiming that the Democrats and witnesses had repeatedly violated House rules in discussing issues he believed to be unrelated to the subject of the meeting.^[9] His abrupt walkout was contrary to House parliamentary procedure, which is to adjourn either on motion or without objection. Political journalist Matt Taibbi described the incident in a profile of the 109th Congress published around October 2006: "Last year, Sensenbrenner became apoplectic when Democrats who wanted to hold a hearing on the Patriot Act invoked a little-known rule that required him to let them have one. "Naturally, he scheduled it for something like 9 a.m. on a Friday when Congress wasn't in session, hoping that no one would show," recalls a Democratic staffer who attended the hearing. "But we got a pretty good turnout anyway." Sensenbrenner kept trying to gavel the hearing to a close, but Democrats again pointed to the rules, which said they had a certain amount of time to examine their witnesses. When they refused to stop the proceedings, the chairman did something unprecedented: He simply picked up his gavel and walked out. "He was like a kid at the playground," the staffer says. And just in case anyone missed the point, Sensenbrenner shut off the lights and cut the microphones on his way out of the room. Commenting on Sensenbrenner's actions on The Daily Show, comedian Jon Stewart said, "Oh my God, he literally took his gavel and went home; we are officially being governed by children."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Sensenbrenner

Yeah...he's a grown-up.

I think he'd better keep his imaginary pudgy paws off Michelle's ample samples...LOL

Whew - long way down the thread to a reply to the 1st comment regarding how far 'these people' will go. So... 'these people' are whom, exactly? You mean the guy talking on the cell phone? OK then. THAT guy. Nobody else was involved. Unless Michelle Obama - you know - 'those people', was overheard saying something about "my ass", at some point in her life. Come on - how low people will go is a matter of who is eavesdropping at the time. Everyone knows nobody speaks ill of anyone about anything ever - goodness no. Hard to believe this stuff constitutes news. Unless of course the news is about 'those people'. Who?

alim--

Who?

Yeah, that would be overly-bulbous, post-menopausal, impotent, red-nosed angry old fatcat politicians and media personalities with pumpkin heads who are about an inch away from a massive heart attack or stroke...and most of whom fall into the (R) category.

That's who.

Several of them (Limbaugh comes to mind) have gone out of their way to attempt to tear down our First Lady with some sort of insults about her body...and I find it funny that the ones doing it the loudest fit the description I've laid out for you above.

Have I cleared up your confusion now?

from the photo, it looks like puffy faced Rep Jim Sensenbrenner has a DOUBLE chin.

Those were his chins? Well now it all makes sense. For some reason I thought he was standing on his head and we were looking at his... well, never mind.

Hasn't this idiot looked in the mirror? He's a fat a disgusting fat blob and his head is fatter than her posterior.

People eat properly and do all the correct things many times and can't lose (whatever they are trying to do). So fu**ing what. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Doesn't he think that's the way GOD made her and wants her to be? Oh yeah...God only works for derrr gop and is merely 2nd-in-command over there. When they say 'God speak to me and tell me what to do',He has to drop everything else He may be working on and answer them.

Heil rrright!!!

Not that her ass is particularly fat. I'd say above average for the typical 47 year old female.

Describe the behind of a typical 47 year old female.

Does the governor of Wisconsin realize that it is part of his responsibility to enforce Title VII? If remarks like this were made in the workplace, he would be sued. Title VII includes physical features like skin color and what is common to a particular ethnicity. Most Black women and men no matter their size of the remainder of their body have large derrieres. It is about protecting the spine. Others may have large caves for the same purpose. The legs are the strongest parts of the body. They can take a lot of shock. The spine cannot. There needs to be a shock absorber/buffer to protect the spine. Thus nature created large caves and/or derrieres. Most mammals have large derrieres. Most physical features are to adopt to environment, surroundings, climate...

Let us look at it from my viewpoint. I am a butt man. My wife's butt is bigger. It is perfect. She is not fat. This is from 39 years of watching it. Almost married for 39 years. There is a difference between a big butt and a fat butt. Neither concern me because the personality is more important. This is a politician nitpicking and grasping at straws to demean someone to make himself look good. It is not working.

To every aspiring politician, judge people as to who they are and not what they are. Stop and think before you open your mouth.

Jim Sensenbrenner has got no right to accuse anyone of not exercising enough, particularly a lady and the First Lady at that. The man has jowels that size of a Thanksgiving turkey.

This is not about picking about the first lady. This is about getting political points. It is a game to them.

I agree with many and add that many persons body and it's shape can be genetic in nature.

There could be not an ounce of fat on Mrs. Obama's behind and it still look the same in shape ! Bone structure , length of tendon and ligament which holds muscle mass and the mass of muscle it's self ...... and of course some fat ( for we need it in our posterior ... cushioning ! ) all predisposed.

Mrs. Obama is almost 6 feet tall and a size 12. Taller than the average woman and her dress size is smaller than the average woman's which is 14.

She's obviously in better shape than Sensenbrenner who has no clue to what he's talking about as well as a hypocrite.

Mrs. Obama is almost 6 feet tall and a size 12.

Yeah, and Godzilla is a little bitty Lizard.

She has been quoted as having 46"+ hips - which puts her ABOVE a size 16.

This pervert owes the first lady an apology.

tobiii

and from ChaCha ( since gay men are the best to ask ! )

Although I couldn't find a reputable source to validate the info, Michelle Obama is rumored to wear a size 10. ChaCha on! ( IMO 12 seems more likely )

Hilarious...we finally get a Congressman who tells the truth....and he has to apologize for it.

tobiii, my wife has 36" hips and is a size 14. Dress size doesn't divulge width, just that she is tall. Grow up.

Ripley and Kim -

Look for yourself - US Standard Clothing Sizes

If she was a size 12, she would have 40" hips and a 30" waist. Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Dress size doesn't divulge width, just that she is tall

Dress size has ZERO to do with height, Kim. It goes by bust, waist and hips. Thanks for playing.

tobiii...

anyone who has ever bought clothing knows one brand that says 12 isn't the same as another.

grow up.

and the truth ? the truth is an ugly fat slob such as Sensenbrenner has no room to criticize the beautiful Michelle Obama. neither do you. Both of you are just jealous.

She has been quoted as having 46"+ hips - which puts her ABOVE a size 16.

Have a look @ her in the NFL's Play 60 activities. Definately not 46in hips.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/michelle-obama/7990630/Michelle-Obama-shows-off-American-football-skills-for-health-campaign.html

As I recall the only time we talked about Laura Bush's ass we were talking about George.

Tappy, Ain't that the truth! All these know nothings that get on here criticizing the first lady are probably stay at homers who sit in front of their computers eating cheetos and soda 18-19 hours a day, with big bellies and scratching in every place known on their stinking bodies. There are people that all they want in life is to degrade, demean and criticize the Obamas. They really get off on it. But does NOT make anything they say true, its just one more example of class envy! They would criticize Michelle Obama if she looked and was the size of Mamie Eisenhower. What they need to do, is take care of themselves and get a life.

Pointing out the obvious isn't criticizing, Lynn. It's pointing out the obvious.

Would you hire a fat fitness trainer? Would you take fitness advice from that trainer?

THAT is pointing out the obvious.

A trip down Memory Lane, in case you have forgotten....

1990 - Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

1993 - Florence Griffith Joyner (FloJo) appointed.

2002 - Lynn Swann appointed

In 2010, the Council was renamed....and Michelle Obama was appointed.

Yeah...that makes sense....

tobiii ...

Michelle Obama is very fit. how about you post your own pic in your profile so we can compare . you sound very jealous and hateful as a result.

ripley8

I was thinking the same thing about tobiii. Even if she is size 4 the unattractive statements she makes about Michelle Obama reflects on her.

Updated it for both of you to determine which one of us can back up our "opinion" about physical fitness.

Have a nice day.

Michelle has a fine a$$ ! Sensenbrenner is a fat pig-headed dumba$$ !

Republicans should be so proud to have such scumbags representing them. Not much different than any other Republican politician that I've ever witnessed. Man or woman.

tobiii

A picture of your boyfriend doesn't count ....lol

Get a life, Mike.

Should I be?

LOL the guy who is posting pics of his shoulder is telling other people to get a life. LMFAO

Hey, abolish, pay attention to the conversation, will you??

post #1.89

Michelle Obama is very fit. how about you post your own pic in your profile so we can compare

The question was asked, I responded. Now I have you and mike in the peanut gallery unable to follow the conversation from a "whopping" 45 minutes ago.

Ripley said put up or shut up. So I did. Do I need to hold your hand and walk you back 8 posts?

Like I said, the guy who is posting pics of some dude's shoulder is telling others to get a life. Classic. Wow you really proved something posting some pic of a dude's shoulder. Wow. SO impressed.

I answered Ripley's request. You don't like it? Take it up with her, she's the one who requested it back in post #1.89

Now, feel free to post your pic, "Bass Count".

LMFAO. Sorry but I don't need to post pics of a dude's shoulder in a lame attempt to win a childish internet argument. Hilarious.

1990 - Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

1993 - Florence Griffith Joyner (FloJo) appointed.

2002 - Lynn Swann appointed

In 2010, the Council was renamed....and Michelle Obama was appointed.

Yeah...that makes sense....

@ Tobbi

These people have attained fitness @ levels the AVERAGE person never will. Flo Jo, a woman, could run a 40 about as fast as a MALE NCAA Football player.........And she did it @ age 30. What AVERAGE woman do you know that can do that? HINT, to this day, no other woman in track and field has broken her records, so even the current crop of world class female runners cant hit that mark either....much less an average woman.

Lynn Swann was a pro football player and Arnold was a pro Body builder. They spent their lifetimes training for their respective Activies, and they made a living doing it which makes it easier to devote the time needed to attain that level of fitness.

Even me, as a FORMER track and field athlete (college level), its way easier for me to get back into the habit of working out than someone who doesnt like sports and doesnt play outside much to begin with. I can still run a mile in under 6 mins and I havent competed in 7 years.

These people have attained fitness @ levels the AVERAGE person never will

Which is exactly why they were appointed to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness.

Until 2010, that is.

@ tobii

If a person doesnt not believe they will ever achieve a certain fitness level they wont try it. Now, having somone who is amazingly talented telling them "you can do it" is not good motivation either. They have NEVER had a problem being fit because they actually like to do the things that help a person get and stay fit, AND it comes natural to them.

Flo JO wouldnt motivate most women because most women dont look like she did. Mrs. Obama is much more relatable.

Being fit is relative to body type. Not perception. Shaq being in shape is about 300 lbs. For someone who is a foot shorter, 300 lbs is obese.

Being fit is relative to body type. Not perception

Once again, would you listen to fitness advice from an overweight personal trainer?

Perception is 90% of reality, Neish.

If a person doesnt not believe they will ever achieve a certain fitness level they wont try it.

It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not ~Anonymous

double tap...

@tobbii

Michelle is not over weight. That is how you perceive her. AND its common knowledge that butt fat is hard to loose and can most often only be toned. You cant shrink the roundess of your butt anymore than you can increase your ankle size. Its pretty much preditermined.

If I had ever been over weight, I could relate better to a trainer who has lost a massive amount and is now a trainer vs a trainer who has never had a weight problem. Hence the reason people like Jennifer Hudson (who used to be pretty heavy) are used in Jenny Craig commercials vs. Mary Kate or Ashley Oslin...

Its also the reason you dont see someone like Usain Bolt in a shape up shoes commerical. He's already in shape and it aint because of the shoes.

AND its common knowledge that butt fat is hard to loose and can most often only be toned. You cant shrink the roundess of your butt anymore than you can increase your ankle size. Its pretty much preditermined

And yet you reference Jennifer Hudson who has changed ALL of that through diet and exercise - AND having a baby! Great Job! She shed 80+ lbs - yet, according to you, she shouldn't have been able to do that. You realize you just discredited your own post?

Jennifer used to be a size 16 and now is down to a size 4 or 6.

tobii, Yes Jennifer did lose alot of weight, but you failed to list that her diet was Jenny Craig, not limiting carbs, sweets or anything on her own. Have you ever checked out the cost of Jenny Craig? It is very expensive and out of reach for the average middle class American. You are digging deeper and deeper, keep it up.

Who cares tobiii?

You call the wife of the President a fat butt for what reason? You make fun of her for what reason? How many in our country are too fat? If Michelle Obama is trying to get our kids to eat better and be more healthy what is wrong with that?

Is there anything that your ilk has done to help, encourage or in any way be helpful to the majority of the country? The answer is NO, so why don't just leave Michelle Obama alone and work on your ilk's fat butts in Congress who could use your scrutiny and advice.

@ tobii

Yep, and she still has hips and butt

check down the page for the side view...

http://gossipcenter.com/jennifer-hudson/jennifer-hudson-gem-awards-adorable-454866

You call the wife of the President a fat butt for what reason?

Rather obvious. Sky is blue, grass is green, water is wet, her ass is fat. All obvious things.

If Michelle Obama is trying to get our kids to eat better and be more healthy what is wrong with that?

She should be LEADING BY EXAMPLE.

We have her telling Restaurants what to serve on their menu - LINK

Obama launched the Let's Move! campaign to fight childhood obesity, and has challenged restaurants to offer more healthful menu items.

But here we are, ignoring the obvious that she is overweight!

Pardon me for pointing out the obvious, but Jim Sensebrenner isn't telling everybody what they should and shouldn't eat, now, is he?

Did he throw out the Food Pyramid and replace it with "MyPlate"?

"The new design, called MyPlate, was conceived as a crucial part of Mrs. Obama's campaign against obesity, designed to remind consumers about the basics of a healthful diet,"

And this is being recommended by someone with a huge posterior?

Amazing that we have women looking for the "How to have Arms like Michelle" workouts - where are the "How to have an ass like Michelle" workouts?

68.3% of America is overweight or obese - and we have someone with an ass like that telling US what we should or shouldn't be eating?

If you are going to LEAD an organization promoting healthy diets and physical fitness, you should be leading by example - not by being the stereotypical "average American".

tobiii

You have shown yourself to be the narrow minded right winger that you are and not worth having any more converstaion with. Don't bother to reply, you are on ignore.

By all means let's hold up Arnold and Flo-Jo up as our standard bearers. Both abused steroids to achieve their peak athletic abilities.

tobiii, you still haven't answered my question. Size 14 doesn't mean fat since my wife is 6' tall. What does dress size say?

@ Tappy, RIGHT!

I loved Flo. But now that I am older and had my own experience with the sport, she was suspect. And roids is probably why she didnt come back to defend her title, and why it has stood untouched for 20 years. Even the concoction Marion Jones used wasnt enough to touch it...

@ tobbii

Lemme say this again, a FAT ASS does not indicate obesity, but rather BMI does. Google "Buffie the Body." And get back to me on what a "fat ass" is. LOL!

tobiii

Updated it for both of you to determine which one of us can back up our "opinion" about physical fitness.

all I see is a pic of cigars. wishful thinking on your part ?

let's see a full body pic !

as for me ? no physically I stink ! 'overweight' due to fluid overload from congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. I did lose 75 lbs. in 11 days ! all fluid. but that's part of the illness. However ignorant people on the street by looking at me wouldn't know that !

the fact of the matter is Michelle Obama is a beautiful women. And many people especially of Black and Latino origin have a genetic propensity towards a higher riding gluteus maximus where those of European origin do not ( aka a flat ass ) no amount of diet or exercise will change either !

My apologies Ripley, I posted the pic while MikeBanks and abolish taxes started fondling themselves thinking they were gonna get a peep show of a female.

So when abolish taxes saw my chest and shoulder, he had his "Crying Game" moment and, as most prepubescent teenagers do, flew into a fit of rage and starting spewing accusations and denials (as you can see by his posts)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Ripley - and Michelle needs to lose weight if she's going to "talk the talk".

Simple reality here - you don't take fitness advice from a fat trainer any more that you get child care advice from Casey Anthony.

why did you post only your chest and shoulder ? why not a full pick ? ashamed ?

Michelle Obama doesn't need to lose weight ... you need to gain an education. the factual science seems to have escaped you.

simple reality .

seems the only one with a 'crying game ' moment is you .... dreaming of cigars .

Full length pic submitted, just for you Rip.

BTW, the cigars were a birthday gift from my wife.

Ripley

Regarding post 1.116

You are absolutely correct ,but also remember she has had two children a women's pelvic area expands for the baby to pass down the birth canal. It does not go back to where it was, and not to mention genetics DO play a part.

Michelle Obama is a first class lady. She is graceful, elegant and beautiful inside and out. She genuenly cares about the health of children.

Michelle Obama is a very classy Lady, 100%.

MJL-3

but also remember she has had two children a women's pelvic area expands for the baby to pass down the birth canal

And that is why mother nature gave women hips and padding around them to protect them during childbirth. There are too many C sections due to women having narrow smaller hips and not being able to go through natural childbirth. The padding and hips are also there to protect women from the act that gets them pregnant. I won't go into detail.

Yes she is a classy lady. The GOP continues to try to tar and feather her.

LOL @ Tobii talking about others fondling themselves when he was the one to post some weird pic of a dude's shoulder in order to try and legitimize himself. If you can't see how weird that is, I'm sorry, but it's hilarious. It completely reminded me of that whole Rep Weiner thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Ripley - and Michelle needs to lose weight if she's going to "talk the talk".

It's unfortunate that you are disillusioned by svelte models and lack knowledge of ethnic women's genetic features. By saying she needs to lose weight you have shown that you probably need to listen more to her, physicians, and nutritionists on what a healthy diet is for each body type.

It's unfortunate that you are disillusioned by svelte models and lack knowledge of ethnic women's genetic features.

Yes beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and ethnic men do not see skinny as beauty. Models are skinny so that they do not take away attention from the clothes they are wearing. They are basically a human clothes hanger. To me, women being so skinny is another oppression as barefoot and pregnant.

tobiii..

you look like a bit of a butter ball to me ! ...

HA! That was just a couple of them.

Yes, but are there any examples of actual Democratic Representatives personally attacking her? This is just another example of the type of Rep's currently representing the GOP.

you look like a bit of a butter ball to me ! ...

Funny, this coming from someone who makes excuses about their weight and posts a pic of Sigourney Weaver? You taking advice from Michelle Obama now?

as for me ? no physically I stink ! 'overweight' due to fluid overload from congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension

Sounds like a laundry list of excuses for being overweight. Nevermind that they are directly related to obesity. This would also explain why you describe everything as a type of food, now, wouldn't it?

Merry Christmas Ripley, try not to eat everything at the table this year while passing judgment on everyone else around you.

RFA

Yes she is a classy lady. The GOP continues to try to tar and feather her.

Yes and it is REALLY making the GOP look terrible. If it had been a dem say that about a repub the GOP would be all over them, But IOKIYAR

GOP needs man up and go after dumb ass's like him and let everyone know they wont tolerate it.

Michelle Obama is WAY above Laura Bush!!!

tobiii

Please stop insulting people Ok?

Merry Christmas

If anyone is going to ask tobii to stop with insults, then they really need ot chastise several other posters on this string alone. Take off your left wing or your right wing blinders and note that you are supposed to be addressing the seed, not other commenters-insulting others is a violation of the CoH, and many have done it on this thread.

tobiii

Merry Christmas Ripley, try not to eat everything at the table this year while passing judgment on everyone else around you.

your ignorance is showing tobiii.... chf and ph aren't excuses... they are facts of life. It has nothing to do with caloric intake but fluid build up. Something of which I have little control over but you would know that had to taken the time to research fluid overload.

Fluid overload in acute heart failure — Re-distribution and other mechanisms beyond fluid accumulation
http://eurjhf.oxfordjournals.org/content/10/2/165.full

my Pic ? you don't want to see a sickly pic ... it's not flattering. but I've already stated the truth. I can post medical records if you wish ! yet for all your hatred and arrogance ? I would not wish what I have on you nor anyone else.

your just upset because you look like a butter ball and have no excuse ! Yet berate others.

Happy holidays tobiii... and refuse the pie.

yet for all your hatred and arrogance ? I would not wish what I have on you nor anyone else

I bring your attention back to YOUR original post -

how about you post your own pic in your profile so we can compare

I posted my pic, I have nothing to make excuses for nor to be ashamed of.

You? You made excuses, called names, and admitted you're obese.

I would suggest you look up someone named Elizabeth Maiuolo - she had a heart attack at age 28 - seven years later, she has run FIVE marathons.

You can use your "diagnosis" as an excuse - or a reason. The choice is yours.

This thread is about Michelle Obama's "large posterior" while she is directing the rest of the US about their diet and physical fitness.

In your current shape, Ripley, would you consider yourself qualified to be a Fitness Spokesperson and give advice to everyone about diet and Physical Fitness?

Now, do you think Michelle Obama is? THAT is what this thread was all about.

If you are going to be appointed a spokesperson to TELL Americans about physical fitness and diet - you better walk the walk and talk the talk.
Not "do as I say, not as I do".

tobiii

I have had enough of your insults to Ripley,

Stop it !!!!

Tobbiiiiiiiii,

I don't know what it is about you perhaps it is the lack of medical knowledge, the classiness, that picture, and your not so subtle attack on black women's derrieres. Whatever it is you made me realize that no matter what happens in this world, even some one as socially graceful as you can be a lump of something in someone's stocking.

God Bless them and you have a Merry Christmas.

Ripley

Ignore him, You are beautiful in the inside and out!

tobiii

have you ever seen a person who is bloated because of failing kidneys ? would you blame them for it ?

that is what your ignorantly and hatefully doing .

fluid overload , edema , isn't a result of calorie intake. My caloric intake is less than 2000 a day. No Xmas dinner here in my home other than a couple of chicken breasts and brussel sprouts ! dessert ? I have some sugar free cookies that are probably stale by now !

I pity you however. to be that concerned , spiteful ,hateful , over Michelle Obama who is fit and beautiful actually points to your own insecurity about your own body.

have you ever seen a person who is bloated because of failing kidneys

Were they appointed to tell you what you and your children should or shouldn't eat?

THAT is the discussion.

If you are appointed to the President's Council on Physical Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, you shouldn't have a HUGE ASS while telling other people what they should and should eat!

Listening to an overweight person telling you what you should and shouldn't eat?

While we're at it, why don't we ask for marital advice from OJ Simpson? Perhaps Child Care suggestions from Casey Anthony?

actually points to your own insecurity about your own body.

Ripley, YOU are the one who was making excuses for your body, not me. Try to remember what you have posted before making accusations next time.

tobbii...

fluid overload isn't an excuse ... it's a condition.

Michelle Obama doesn't have a fat ass. Yet even if she did ? why does it upset you so ? only someone who is insecure about their own looks worries and panders about someone elses.

again... you are quite the butterball... step away from the pie and have a happy Xmas.

Ah yes, more excuses and personal attacks. Noted.

What was the title of this thread? How true is it?

'Michelle Obama has a large posterior': Rep Jim Sensenbrenner thinks the First Lady doesn't practice what she preaches

Does she have a large posterior? Why, yes she does.

Does she practice what she preaches? Why, no, she doesn't, because she has a large posterior.

That's the truth. Hate it all you want, that doesn't change it.

Please, continue with the personal attacks and name calling.

no tobiii ..

again it's not an excuse. An excuse is something one can change. I can not stop or change fluid overload from heart failure.

you on the other hand have no excuse for being a butter ball.

again Michelle Obama isn't fat .... your just pathetically shallow and insecure about your own body.

Continue with the name calling, yada yada yada yada.

Is that all you have to offer? Calling names and slinging accusations?

Ripley, ignore tobiii. Once you do I expect your experience on the vine to improve. :)

Does she have a large posterior? Why, yes she does.

Does she practice what she preaches? Why, no, she doesn't, because she has a large posterior.

Geez Louise. We get it. You don't like black girls butts. Save for starvation and malnutrition she ain't going to lose that muscle mass. She's healthy, she's in shape and no doctor worth their weight in gold wouldn't give her the thumbs up on her weight.

You basically just don't like her because she doesn't fit your euro-centric view of beauty. Fine. We get it. We get it. We get it.

Now, isn't it time to quit being a gossip hen and rejoin the roosters?

Exactly ohiogal. It's difficult to fathom that someone would hate her so much as to have it in their mind to ridicule her over a false claim that should should not be preaching fitness when she is overweight. Her weight is fine, she's built the way she is and it's not from a bad diet or eating wrong.

It's obvious and pathetic that anyone would make a statement like that.

Maggie

I have come to the conclusion that some are just catty and nasty people. Trying to reason with them is a waste of time. In fact, they are a waste of time.

@ Tobii

Veronica Campbell Brown, and Allyson Felix are both track and field athletes who run the same races. They are both Olympic and World Champion 200m runners. Notice the difference in body types from the pics below. Veronica is obviously more bottom heavy than Allison is. However, she is still fit.

Verionica http://www.spikesmag.com/features/campbellbrownrevealsthesecretsofhersuccess.aspx

Allyson http://article.wn.com/view/2008/08/19/Americans_Jamaicans_advance_easily_in_womens_200_2/

Both of them together

Thank you for posting that Neish. One can also look at the Williams sisters who are professional athletes.

Tennis anyone?

Haha yes, I am actually friends with Venus. Just hung out with her in LA at my show and then some all night after hours Karaoke when I was on tour at the end of summer and yes, she is in shape and has a healthy posterior.
