First Lady's foreign social savvy

[LauraC]

C'mon, do we really care what any first lady does? Have we ever gone to war over first lady etiquette or for that matter first lady anything?

I'm more concerned with Mrs Obama appointing herself the Food Sheriff of nanny state America, not if she shakes some guy's hand when he wanted a head nod, a kiss or a bow from her.

You have your nerve! Most people that I know felt either positive or neutral about Laura Bush, which is way more than the people here on CD feel about Michelle Obama.

The nitpicking by the hate parade is sooooo petty and tacky....and "obvious"

It is so obvious. We shouldn't jump in, but it's hard not to, isn't it?

Really? This concerns you?

I'm more concerned about Sarah Palin pushing "cookies" (like a drug dealer) to all of the fat school children in America. Because we all know that Americans promoting healthy nutrition and active lifestyles is a Nanny State run amok

That's your version of normal size?

You really should stop looking at Cosmo and Playboy and look around you sometime. You know, when you are outside, mingling with the general public.

FYI...

The First Lady, Michelle Obama, is a normal sized American woman.

She is also smaller than the average American woman....a size 14 or 16.

She is taller yet slimmer than Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton AND Barbara Bush. She has a different body shape.
