http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/politics/right-wingers-flipped-out-when-michelle-obama-went-sleeveless-ok-with-melania-trump-posing-nude/A big grievance among the right-wing is that Michelle Obama is disrespectful and not fitting to be a First Lady. Just like they were vying to make Obama a one-term president, they were wasting as much time trying to make Michelle a one time FLOTUS. Chief among their petty complaints had to do with Mrs. Obamas desire to wear sleeveless shirts. Yes, apparently its the 1920s and woman, even First Ladies, cant wear sleeveless dresses...
Meanwhile, not much has been made of Melania Trump, Family Values Man Donald Trumps fourth wife who has a history of racy modeling jobs.
Now, Im in no way putting down or shunning Melania Trump for her decision to pose nude as a model as shes a grown woman and free to do as she pleases. However, what gives me Lewis Black levels of outrage is how the so-called party of Family Values and clean Christian virtue seem to have no problem with this potential First Lady being a nude model and yet this is the same party who shunned and shamed Michelle Obama as being some classless she-devil for simply not wearing sleeves.

(11,843 posts)Their binary world view forces it. There are only two options to any question, be it Yes/No, Black/White, etc.
In order to fit the messy gray world into that mindset, they have to ignore paradox and hypocrisy.

We have an active, elegant first lady who encourages children to eat healthy foods and to get out and be active, and the opposition party criticized her counsel and her figure.
But apparently that was all mere warm-up to 2016.

Having observed how the Republican candidates treat each other,
why would anyone expect them to appropriately treat the President, his office or his family?
