I’m a heterosexual male, but I just can’t for the life of me figure out how anyone thinks Michele Obama is even okay looking. I think she’s hideous.

Wow! I just discovered Sonja Schmidt!! She tells it like it is and doesn’t pussyfoot around!! Great!!

I, too, just “discovered” Ms. Schmidt. She tells it like it is and she’s hilarious while she’s doing it. Don’t know if she’s a new addition here at PJM or not, but either way, I’m hooked. Looking forward to her next piece!

BTW, does anyone think it seems somehow beneath someone who is a first lady to be on foolish magazine covers? (Or, for that matter the President, as well.) The role seems like it should be more serious and dignified than posing for fashion magazines or gossip rags like People magazine.

Wake me up when this administration is over.

Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, or Bo Obama! It just doesn’t matter, as long as you are distracted from President Obama’s true agenda! Here in Israel, we know what’s really going on.

I’ll try an keep posting updates here.

Wow, Sonja Schmidt is great – tells it like it is! And yes, why wasn’t a soldier on the cover of “Time” on Memorial Day rather than someone who insinuated she has been ashamed of her country. It is another example of the liberal media trying to brainwash those in America who don’t have the brains to look beyond the “show” and try to find substance within the Obama family and administration.

That Time photo of Michele Obama is scary.

Jun 5, 2009 - 10:12 am 9. Dr. Bukk:

I am thoroughly disgusted by Michelle’s very tight spandex pants which show off her package, or camel toe, if you will. She chooses tops and pants that don’t match in the slightest, like a yellow and white sweater with dark grey skin-tight pants. My God, who is dressing her? What a shameful legacy she will leave as our First Lady.

Basically, Michelle Obama has no class.

Jun 5, 2009 - 1:22 pm 11. Ms. Attitude:

I need new Halloween decorations, I think I’ll go buy some of these magazines with the Wicked Witch of the West on them.

First cover girl I’ve seen with a small bust, a big butt, and a protruding lower jaw.

Jun 6, 2009 - 3:41 pm 13. Carol:

There is plenty to be critical about regarding Michelle Obama than a bunch of bs waged against her body, her clothes, etc. Stop objectifying women. It’s obnoxious.

Jun 6, 2009 - 4:41 pm 14. Little Banana:

Actually Carol, it’s fair game. We’re constantly being fed, as you call it, “bs” about how beautiful MO is, how stylish she is, how wonderfully toned are her arms, etc, etc….The media has already objectified her, and she doesn’t seem to mind.

Jun 7, 2009 - 2:30 pm 15. Class Clown:

But her arms! Look at those arms!

Jun 11, 2009 - 4:03 am 16. Paul -Indiana:

Anyone who has read Michelle Obama’s Princton Senior Thesis understands why so much is made of her ’style sense’and not her mind.
