Our current First Lady made a terrible error when she ripped into her daughters over their weight.

No mother should do this to her children in public, least of all the First Lady.  Thinking nothing of the girls themselves, and the damage it does to them psychologically to have their weight discussed in a public forum, it sets a bad precedent for future First Families.  Gone are the days of the Clintons and Bushes, who vociferously protected the privacy of their daughters.  Chelsea Clinton was off-limits.  The Bush twins were protected through their adulthoods, at which time they chose if and when they wanted to be part of political debate.  First Children are off-limits for a reason:  growing up in the White House is hard enough, without people making the awkwardness of the maturation process the fodder of national headlines.

So, it’s disgusting that Michelle Obama believes talking about how fat her daughters are is appropriate behavior for a First Lady — or, frankly, ANY MOTHER.

We’re stunned she’s being called out on this, because none of her other bad behavior draws any criticism from the fawning press.

Her crazy Princeton thesis, so poorly written it reads like parody, in which she casts herself as a perpetual victim who hates everything about America, is wholly ignored.

Her MANY years sitting in Jeremiah Wright’s hate-fueled “church”, clapping, cheering, and agreeing with every RAAACIST! diatribe against America are never mentioned.

Of course, it’s conveniently forgotten that this woman first discovered she was proud of America, for the first time in her adult life, just as her husband was poised to win the Wisconsin primary in 2008.  Before that, she had no pride in her country.  Zilch.  What’s pride, when all you know is contempt?

So, perhaps this is just a fluke, where the First Lady so slaps decency in the face that the media feels compelled to slap her wrist a little.  This White House uses two innocents as props when needed, regardless of the impact it can have on them.  It’s good the MSM has woken up long enough to say this should not stand.

Tomorrow, it will be back to deluding the public into believing Michelle is “the greatest fashion icon who has ever lived”, and the other nonsense the media tries selling.

But, we continue to ask why the First Lady’s crusade against obesity doesn’t start with her own weight, or the weight of her self-proclaimed “chit-chat buddy”, Oprah.

If Michelle Obama wants to talk smack about anyone’s carriage, why not look into her own mirror, and talk about the junk in her own trunk.  Did you see the dress she wore to the State of the Union?  It looked like a hoop skirt.  Before she smacks her daughters in public for their weight, the First Lady needs to own her own weight issues.  Before this woman lectures anyone else on extra pounds, she needs to stop being the second coming of a Sir Mix-a-lot video.

You want to attack someone, Michelle?  Try Oprah.  Your chit-chat buddy.  She’s larger than twelve of the First Daughters.  AND, she’s a grown woman who’s repeatedly made her weight an issue, so it’s more than fair game.

What does Michelle like to say about people not being able to keep their own houses in order?  If she can’t control her own obesity and BMI, and doesn’t hold any sway whatsoever over Oprah, then she shouldn’t be attacking her own daughters in public.
