[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's with the sleeveless dresses?[/quote]

It probably has something to do with her amazing arms.  Are you an ass?[/quote]

No, but if you think it doesn't make her look like a tranny, you're blinded. [/quote]

No, I'm just not a sexist, racist, asshole like you are.  [/quote]

I think you'd probably like me. Lots of people do. But look at her. She's just not pretty. Big deal. She's the First Lady and rich. But does that mean I have to suspend judgment as to her looks?  Do you follow current trends in what is considered generally attractive in any race?   She's not. It's ok!  You can deal. [/quote]

No, I definitely would not like you at all.  Your statements reveal a weak mind and flawed character.

I think she is beautiful and a style icon.  I admire pretty much everything about her. The majority of the country agrees with me, not you.  I know that gets you all cranky, but it is the truth.  Even if you say these things until you are blue in the face, they will never be true.  [/quote]

So what you're saying is since the PP doesn't find the first lady attractive, he/she must be (a) racist (b) flawed (c) weak minded. I don't feel she's attractive either. That's my opinion. Is your liberal self saying that we are not entitled to our own opinions? What happened to open-mindedness?[/quote]

No, anyone can be critical of someone's looks.  She's saying the specific way that the pp describes Michelle Obama is racist.  [/quote]

Yes, this was part of it. In addition, what makes me think this person has a serious character flaw is the way she/he frames their statements.  "She's just not pretty" instead of "I don't think she's pretty" or "she isn't pretty to me".  This person thinks that their opinion substitutes for fact, when it is simply an opinion (and a pretty biased one at that).  So I'm not saying either PP that doesn't find her attractive is not entitled to their opinion, but I do find the PP that states "she's just not pretty" to be narcissistic, and certainly one dimensional.  Both of these things are major character flaws in my opinion.

I'd also like to note that I cannot EVER recall any discussions regarding the "attractiveness" of Laura Bush, or Barbara Bush.  But I certainly recall plenty of nasty, junior high school remarks regarding Hilary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton (a child), and now Michele Obama.  Which begs the question, which group of people overall tend to behave more immaturely and badly regarding this objectification of women (basing their beauty and worth solely on their looks vs. inner beauty, actual actions in life, etc.).  Michele Obama is a success story by any measure.  I cannot think of anyone else more worthy (although many are certainly as worthy) of being a role model for all women.[/quote]
