Hot Mama Obama!
posted by Bethany Taylor at 3:36 PM

Jackie-O-Bama?? Regardless, Obama’s baby mama’s got style!

This story titled “She Dresses To Win”, which focuses primarily on Michelle O., talks about the image of potential first ladies on the campaign trail and how their style reflects their presidential-hopeful husbands, something dating back even before campaigns and elections were televised. (Michelle’s style is likened to that of Jacqueline Kennedy and Barbara Bush… In other words, chic, yet matronly?) Not exactly ground-breaking news, but no one can admit that image doesn’t matter one teensy bit in something as high-profile (higher than highest, maybe) as a presidential election.

1. I've always thought that rag was worthless anyhow.

It's nothing but advertisements. I hope they get in trouble for this. How disgusting! Time to write them and let them know.

2. there's a comment section with this...it's being "commented" as we speak

4. I put my dos centavos in.

The poster, BSR, needs to crawl out from under his rock more or mom's basement.

3. The writer can't seem to get a handle on the punctuation

She uses the 's to show possession for Obama, leaves it off when it needs to be their to say the mama belongs to the baby, and use the apostrophe again to indicate a contraction "mama has got."

What do you bet Bethany Taylor is a white girl?

8. Racist insults already? Why am I not surprised?

This is gonna backfire this time. We on the internets have got Michelle's six. And Barack's, too.

10. Insult? Yes. I don't get teh racist part of it.

What raises this to the level of a racist insult?

BTW, the urban dictionary's word of the day today is Baby Mama.

-Hoot

11. I read it was basically an urban black alternative to "she's mah 'ho".

[hootinholler]

13. I read it more as an idiot trying to sound cool not knowing the meaning of the words they use. n/t

9. Texas Monthly responded to the comments

It was supposed to be tongue and cheek. :eyes:

12. A condescending "can't you liberals take a fucking joke?" response?

It's not just Barack Obama had best get ready for the coming GOP attack machine.

Right now they are just in the "feeling the Obamas out" phase; pulling cheap little hit-n-run stunts and this one, and responding with "What??? It was joke!!" when the backlash comes. Hillary has already proven that Republicans inherently are going to attack women who are smarter than they are, so Michelle had better be on her toes from this moment forward.

I'm reasonably sure that for the next couple of months, the GOP is going to leave the racially charged dirt and filth and lies and slander to Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and the thousands of local such hosts, and little right wing spin rags like the publication in the OP.

After the Democratic Convention coming in August though...watch out. The swift boat assholes themselves have already collected about $50 million just in Texas alone; for their sleazy ads that I am sure will be used to saturate October with.

As for Barack's threat not long ago to leave his wife alone - sorry, but that just isn't going to fly, so he'd had best come to terms with it, settle down, prep for the inevitable, and not lose his cool. It could trip him up which could turn the media completely against him, as it turned against the Clintons whenever they yelped "unfair".

Just my 2 copper...
