When did I tell anyone to "shut up?" I didn't. To ask someone to "please be quiet" does not force that from posting on this thread. It does ask, however, that they recognize that the gaping hole in their logic has been revealed and that on that particular aspect of the thread that they might save themselves future embarrassment by trying again with another point.

Are you seriously asking me implicitly to stop posting on this thread, in fact, to not even read this thread. Good God, I hope that even you can see the irony.

If you don't want to see her or the President on TV, change the channel.
I did!!! Most likely not for reasons you think...

This isn't counting your regular interview shows like Jay Leno, The Today Show, etc. It just seems like overexposure to me for a First Lady. But, hey, if she wants to be a pop star, whatever....
This is well said......does seem we see her often enough it's really not that exciting to see her. I don't really see where the First Lady has to have so much attention and wanting everyone to know she could be your best friend.

Maybe, she has a little Jennifer Aniston in her and likes media attention anyway she can get it.

Laura Bush - IMDb

Includes appearances on American Idol, Jay Leno, and Live with Regis and Kelly, Extreme Makeover Home Addition, among others. There are a couple of Barney shorts in there too.

Yep, Mrs. Bush gladly made appearances to support her pet causes or campaign for her hubby during election season.

They all do it. It's not unusual.

I think the other part of the problem is Michelle looked hot. Great hair. Wonderful figure. Fabulous dress. They're probably also tremendously upset that George Clooney was his usual fine self.

I'll just assume Limbaugh complain about him too.

He was from HOLLYWOOD and was one of them.

BIG DIFFERENCE He also did his job as President unlike the current occupant

The other problem with this list.....her appearances are all at soft events. When is she going to let someone interview her in depth and detail about her lets move campaign.....or question her about her husbands policies? She simply wants to be seen and be a star. She thinks she is some sort of queen. Gurl, better get a clue, she was HIRED to work for the U.S. citizens. She needs to be working on serious issues!

If they all could have lit a cigarette after her appearance they would have.
