I seriously can't believe the outrage over this...

 

Jesus Christ, it's the first lady of the United States, it's not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. If the first lady of the United States boils this much rage in you, just for merely existing, just because you didn't vote for her husband,you border on heresy, IMO.

And I would say the exact same thing to anyone bitching about Laura Bush in 2002.

Oh she's a hypocritical bitch whether I like her husband or not. Eat more veggies, let's limit sugar in drinks, you should do this, you should do that - just because I said so and it's the way I said to do it. Screw that. I like nothing about her. Its the same dislike I have for dr Phil giving weight loss advice. Kaos is right on this one. Pffffftttt on her. At least Laura had some class about her.

Damn, you guys suck at contrasting examples.

Laura Bush did find time in her busy schedule to play a small part in an Oscar ceremony during her time as first lady.

The Ronald Reagan example is flawed from the start, because Barrack was not presenting any awards, and yet it is a double fail because Ronald was in fact involved in an Academy Awards broadcast.

Point is, this is a retarded thing to rage over, and just makes anyone trying to do so look extremely whiny.

Totally agree.

Their constant vacationing at my expense is offensive. 

Has Obama eclipsed that awesome vacation record that W set?  Did you rage at W?

How classless of Nancy Reagan to get kids to stay off drugs just because that's the way SHE said to do it. Barbara Bush and Laura Bush are hypocritical bitches for trying to get kids to read and shit.

The only thing a first lady is actually supposed to do is campaign for a cause, usually directed at children, as a public service to improve their behavior in some way. To say that encouraging kids to eat better through an education campaign that is certainly less actual government intrusion than Nancy Reagan's war on drugs, is just lunacy.

And Kaos is wrong on his original premise that it was unprecedented and pushing some kind of political agenda just for daring to show her face on your television, as empirically proven by all of his counter-examples doing the exact same fucking thing.

Get the fuck over it.

You bite every time Chizad.

[Saniflush]

You fuckers need to get back on point.....

It's Bush's fault.

[AUChizad]

I wish it were easier to tell when people here are joking.

Present?  No.  But he taped a greeting from the White House which was shown at the 1981 Academy Awards.

Nancy helped keep Arnold from doing drugs.  She didn't do such a good job with Willis.

My understanding is that all of Obama's vacations are paid from his own money, as was Bush's I assume.  Granted, the President's salary is paid by taxpayers, but until Congress decides to reduce their own salaries and the President's, it is their money to do with as they please.

Speaking of which, several Congress members have said they are in favor of decreasing their salaries...but they just so happened to fail to vote on it before the deadline, and now they "can't do it."  The fuckers (including the President) could make a donation to the treasury if they are seriously worried that they are being paid too much, but it's clear that none of them are actually willing to give up their money.  They're too busy playing golf with Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all.

I changed the channel....problem solved. Red Dawn was on and was better anyways.

I am tired of seeing them schmooze with late night television and this kinda crap though. Other than that fuck 'em the Saints are cheaters.

Just stoking the fire my friend. 

I could careless. But I still say she looks like a giraffe. Just saying.

I'd knock the bottom out of that. 

I know Tarheel's with me...if he can put aside the politics of the situation.

Maybe, but it ain't because I'd go balls deep in MO.

[AUChizad]

No question I'd take her before any other first lady of my lifetime. Only one that comes close would have been Laura, but it's not that close.

I'd prefer to go balls deep in California, personally.  I'll take the gay state over the show me state.

Ida McKinley was smoking hot.

Side note: I could have swore I saw a promo for the "Red Dawn" remake not too long ago.

Yo, this motherfucker ain't one of us. He said he'd fuck a giraffe!

[WiregrassTiger]

Yo, this motherfudgeer ain't one of us. He said he'd fudge a giraffe!

How tall is he?
