´Fat Butt´ Frenzy: WashPost
Indicts Football Coach, Rush
Limbaugh for Racist Insults of
Mrs. Obama, Black Womanhood

Newsbusters, by Tim Graham

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/5/2013 7:52:50 AM

The Washington Post is suggesting Tuesday that it´s somehow national news that a high-school football coach in northern Alabama was caught on tape mocking Michelle Obama for having a "fat butt." Post reporter Krissah Thompson used this mini-story -- football coach secretly recorded by students who apparently want him fired, and he´s already been suspended -- to remind people that Rush Limbaugh and Rep. James Sensenbrenner have also mocked the First Lady´s rear end, and this means our "country of white people"

Well, she has a fat butt.

The LSM does so much to promote her as a fashion icon, they should also praise her for being able to conceal a fat butt. After all, she is concerned about the diets of Americans, right?

Well, in my opinion, her fat butt is named Barack and he deserves all the insults we can come up with.

Well, as a lady whose butt used to be pretty well on the generous size, I guess I can say that Mrs. O is gifted in that area.

Don´t insult the Empress when you´re supposed to be indoctrinating them to the New Normal.

Apparently these cheelren were indoctrinated enough that they cried, and Coach got spanked and sent to the rubber room for re-education himself.

Black women are heavy in the bottom, as a general rule. So what? Empress has a very small top area (spectacular arms though, right? /s) so her bottom end is visibly disproportionate in photos. Big deal. I have prematurely grey hair. Who cares?

Mitch will get as much respect from some, as Laura Bush got from others. It´s the way of the world.... toughen up, Krissah.

Somehow Michelle´s butt looks bigger every time she has a scowl or tells us to eat our arugula. Same with Serena Williams whose butt looks bigger every time she throws a tantrum on the tennis court or has a "killer" look on her face. Those actions bring out their worst physical qualities.

Michelle and Obama are black. Wasn´t that what all the hoopla was about when he was elected? The first black president and all that folderal. Michelle has a big butt, Obama has a skinny butt. What are you going to do? And BTW: she is not a fashion icon. Jacquie O had an innate fashion sense and she was a true fashion icon. Michelle has stylists picking out her clothes. She doesn´t have one iota fashion sense,and neither do her stylists.

Mooch has asked for this with her neverending intrusion into our lives, the very food we eat. She is a very public hypocrite who packs in the food herself - and very expensive fat-laden food indeed - and then is photographed in too-tight clothes, either photoshopped like mad or revealing abdominal and rear end, haunch and thigh, weight.

This high school teacher deserves our support. We all have mocked Mooch´s butt. It´s the Alinsky Way. There´s a very entertaining website that got its start mocking her butt and habitually mispells but with two tt´s.

Mooch needs to lighten up. Literally and figuratively.

The goal of liberals is to silence all criticism, no matter how valid.

I´ve snarked a few times on this site about Aunt Esther´s "ample derriere." Her ample derriere is a fact. She goes around running her mouth about what we should eat, yet she carries that extra padding on her backside. That´s hypocrisy, and hypocrisy deserves critical comment, loud and often.

Moochies´s big fat butt does not irritate me nearly as much as her bloated sense of entitlement because she´s black, her exorbitant spending and her dietetic arrogance and hypocracy.

People make emotional connections to political parties over things that have nothing to do with complex arguments. Insulting the President´s family creates a deep seething resentment in minorities which will cause casual voters to vote Democratic for decades. Yes, some people are deeply offended by Obama but that group of people will be dying off and thus no longer voting over the next twenty years. Lack of manners rarely helps ones argument.

Moochelle´s actual weight would shock many, (pushing 200), were it public knowledge. It´s just a matter of body type and genetics, just as I´m genetically predisposed to carry excess weight around my waist. The Mooch has done herself a favor by purchasing the Geraldine wigs from the Flip Wilson estate.

The media has pretended that Big Moo is a black Sophia Lauren for so long they are starting to believe their own fawning press.

So they are always surprised and aghast when they find that some of the public doesn´t go along with their truth twisting.

If they seem upset now, wait until they find out that Barack isn´t really the second Jesus.

I always thought the term was ´ghetto booty´. If she would stop interferring in our diets, while chowing down on hers, maybe we would be able to ignore her. But she just won´t leave it alone.

Maryland girl is armed with

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

The Obama administration took to the airwaves Sunday morning to call on Republicans to back the president’s plan for gun control. In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

President Obama won rare foreign policy praise from Republicans for his administration’s handling of the North Korea crisis, as China signaled a possible readiness to play a more active role in pressuring Pyongyang away from provoking a military conflict. Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped.

Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned.

That they were just torturing him.”
