Reading posters refer to Michelle Obama as Moo-Shell disgusts me. It's childish and reeks of school yard name calling. I bet those same posters would take huge offense if I wrote that Limbaugh is big fat pig. Which he undeniably is.

ummm...actually Rush has lost a LOT of weight. But I get your point.

i'm always up for a decent discussion, but lately, aw forget it
Holier than thou gets a chuckle too.

For future reference, the letter "I' should be capitalized.

Projecting again, are we? Sitting on your high horse defending childlish insults of the FLOTUS and correcting grammatical errors. I guess you think you told him...LOL

Only very insecure people would resort to this behavior. I bet of some of the posters who feel the need to attack physical appearance actually posted their pictures, we'd all turn away from our monitors with our eyes burning.

Chancellor Angela Merkel was talking to Italy's prime minister Romano Prodi when George W. Bush came into the hall ...

and the rest is history.

Those on the right have such selectively short memories.

Plus, looks can and do fade. That's why I appreciate a good mind and intelligence over looks.

Asking some of these posters to judge a person by their character is asking too much. It takes a good mind to know a good mind and you certainly won't find one resorting to childish insults about the FLOTUS. I'm sure we'd all be surprised at we saw here if everyone showed their pics. I actually do on many other websites but I'm too afraid that one of these nut jobs on this site may attack me. There are too many mentally unstable people here.

I have not critiqued anyone on the basis of appearance and you have also taken my quote out of context.

Intellectual dishonesty does little for credibility.

The OP seems to have some sort of freaky bovine fetish. For example see her post in this thread:

//www.city-data.com/forum/unemp...l#post16209553

On top of that, in that thread she calls herself non-confrontational. Sounds to me like she's nothing but an internet bully, leading a sad life. Similar characteristics in general to one of her probable idols, George W. Bush. All hat, no cattle.

She also took another mean shot at another African-American woman in this recent post.

A real winner.

Indonesia's pious information minister, Tifatul Sembiring, is in hot water for touching the hand of First Lady Michelle Obama, in what he describes as forced contact. The politician flaunts his conservatism as a Muslim and claims to avoid touching women who aren't family members, the Associated Press reports.
***
Video of the moment does seem to contradict Sembiring's characterization of the encounter -- but you be the judge. The video is below:
First lady’s handshake with conservative Muslim raises Indonesian eyebrows | The Upshot Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101109/pl_yblog_upshot/first-ladys-handshake-with-conservative-indonesian-muslim-raises-eyebrows - broken link)
They only believe Muslims when they provide an opportunity to bash either Obama.

Thanks for the more complete information.

Just another way of saying that she's passive-aggressive. I am not searching right now but this is also the same poster who admitted to being bullied as a child so much that she saved up for plastic surgery, then went on to say that her coworkers dislike her because they are jealous of her slender figure. Clearly she is insecure and you would think that someone that was once bullied wouldn't turn around and participate in this unproductive behavior. Everyone who dislikes a person is not always jealous --- some people don't like your attitude and negative behavior.

Do you know the definition of the word "ignorant"? I'd suggest that getting a degree from Harvard would indicate that a person is not ignornant. It might be harder to get accepted at Harvard than an online college/university too.
