Big Butt
So, there’s some buzz going around regarding a comment made by a Republican congressman. Rep. James Sensenbrenner was at a church event earlier this month. He remarked that Michelle Obama had no business leading a campaign against obesity because she’s got a “big butt”. To make a short story even shorter, he sent an apology letter to the First Lady while standing by his words.
It’s no surprise that Sensenbrenner connected big butts with obesity. For a long time, thickness and curves have not been as revered in some circles as opposed to being skinny and thin. Although, there are some instances where voluptuousness is celebrated often, there are some who believe that any sign of fat no matter how small or where it’s located is an undesirable sight ready to be ridiculed. Since Sensenbrenner made that connection, he sees Michelle Obama as a hypocrite. Her beautiful, curvy figure contradicts her mission to end obesity in this nation. Therefore, she is in no position to tell people to stop eating junk even though she has lost a considerable about of weight. Then again, he’s not exactly thin himself.
Now, Sensenbrenner wasn’t the only conservative obsessed with the First Lady’s weight. Rush Limbaugh made some derogatory comments some months back stating how she “does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.” Yeah, as if anyone can imagine Laura Bush in a bikini or worse yet, Barbara bush bending over wearing a thong. (traumatized by mental images) Besides, Rush is one to talk seeing as how he looks like the ghost in the Ghostbusters insignia on crack. Honestly, I don’t think there was ever a problem with how much the First Lady weighs until Michelle stepped in.
There is another possibility though. Again, in some cases thickness is admired, and black women with curves are heavenly to some men, including white men in secret. Sensenbrenner may appear disgusted with the First Lady’s campaign, but he could be secretly checking her out. He sees that big butt and wants that junk in the trunk. He imagines himself behind that ass and riding it. However, he can not admit it because not only would he invite a lot of unwanted press, but he will incite a possible, unfriendly confrontation with the President.
I’ve seen Mrs. Obama from the side and back, and I love what I see. Like I’ve written in my previous post Curves, I love women with some meat on her bones, especially in certain areas. The posterior is one of those delightful areas that I adore. I don’t know why, but a beautiful woman with a big, thick, round backside is a sight to behold. It’s something you can stare at for hours on end. It’s something that can hypnotize you if it’s in motion. You are in a trance, and you want to touch it or spank it.
However, showing some restraint is surely needed. As much as you want to see big booties up close and personal, you can’t do it out of impulse for physical, mental, and legal reasons. You also can not focus on the ass especially if you’re walking or riding in one direction and you see one or more going in the opposite direction. (Sometimes you know if it’s big from the front by checking out the hips) This could lead to accidents and injuries. Lastly, you can’t stare at it for a certain amount of time (unless they’re pictures or videos) because it may make some women feel uncomfortable. The best you could do is take a quick glimpse and move on.
As far as the congressman is concerned, his comments were offensive in that it brings to mind the scorn this society has towards thick women, especially thick women of color. And it shows how petty some Republicans and conservatives go in regards to issues.
However, there are those, like myself, who believe that thickness on a woman defines a different kind of beauty. All women are beautiful uniquely and having a big rear end is not a curse in my book, but a heavenly blessing.
And as anyone -should- know, stress can lead to weight gain in both men and women. Can you imagine how much continual stress any First Lady is subjected to during her husband’s presidency? Now probably -double- that for Michelle Obama. But as you’ve pointed out, she looks perfectly fine — especially considering she’s got to be around 40 years old, and the mother of two children.
You’re right, stress can cause people to gain weight. Michelle may have twice as much stress or more considering she’s not only a First Lady, but a First Lady of color. Like I said, as far as anyone knows, no First Lady has ever been targeted because of her weight as much as Michelle.
No FLOTUS has been targeted nearly as much as Michelle Obama.
So…Sensenbrenner’s been looking at Michelle’s ass? Um, how does he explain that, exactly? I bet you he couldn’t tell us about Hilary’s ass or Laura’s ass…how come he’s noticing Michelle’s?
I recently did a post on black women whom white (female) fandom abhor, and it’s no shocker that most of those women are in films and on TV opposite white men. See, white chicks didn’t bitch about the actresses on Fresh Prince or Martin or Living Single, but now that shows increasingly have BW opposite WM, suddenly there’s a reason to bitch.
And one reason is this: it was okay when all those big black behinds were confined to “their own” show and safely away from White Folks World. But now white men openly stare at BW’s asses (and comment) onscreen & IRL. It happens to me, and I see WM gawking at other BW all the time.
So this is why I have to agree 1000% with this:

And from hereon out, any time a white dude bitches about Michelle’s body, I’m going to remember this specific paragraph.

Aside from the fact that Hilary and Laura probably don’t have asses to look out, I think he’s hinting that he wants Michelle’s.

Oh yea. Those white women don’t want to see black women opposite white men in TV and movies. If they do, then the shit will hit the fan. To them it’s kind of an “image envy” It’s like they’re seeing black women in a step above them, along side white men.
Barack should secretly send some of his old homies from Chi-town to beat the brakes off that bastard. You know he’s upset about it; some white man looking every inch like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow, is ogling his wife’s ass is a beatdown no matter if you’re the POTUS or Marcus from down the street. Only thing is that Marcus from down the street can take care of that shit himself.
Fuck these motherfuckers.
If a white man stared at a black woman’s backside and admires it instead of insults it, that’s a small sign that he wants some brown sugar.
Big OLD Butts!!!
Round, mounds of womanly delights.
“…. Sensenbrenner may appear disgusted with the First Lady’s campaign, but he could be secretly checking her out. He sees that big butt and wants that junk in the trunk. He imagines himself behind that ass and riding it…. [you are a funny brotha, brothawolf!]
… I don’t know why, but a beautiful woman with a big, thick, round backside is a sight to behold. … You are in a trance, and you want to touch it or spank it. [squeeze it, kiss it ..]

[coz of whiplash and neck muscle strains and sprains, right?]
Lastly, you can’t stare at it for a certain amount of time (unless they’re pictures or videos) because it may make some women feel uncomfortable. [That's why mirror sunglasses were invented, brotha!!]
“I don’t know why, but a beautiful woman with a big, thick, round backside is a sight to behold. … You are in a trance, and you want to touch it or spank it.”
Me either, but it’s an amazing organ. As for mirror sunglasses that’s a good idea, but then you’d have to deal with people telling you that the sun isn’t out and you’re checking out butts in the night time lol. Then again, who cares what others say when you’re focused on the behind?
I love how First Lady Michelle is wreaking white mental havoc, just being her bodacious, beautiful self. They all can look, fantasize, dream, mock and whatever, but none but The Prez can touch! Deal with THAT, Sensen!
I remember this white guy blogger I used to follow. From Sweden, whose blog was called BlackIsBeautiful.SE. From dark to light complexioned. He sang odes to the black woman’s beauty in his blog. The white male hate he got in his comments was something! I think they were jealous that he was so open with his admiration. I can respect you, whiteboy, if you just come out and SAY you admire black beauty. Dont be like Sensen.
I think that white male hatred is just a mask to cover up that they have jungle fever.
I have to check out his blog someday.
Michelle is shaped like the highly admired hour glass in that second picture though! Watch your back for the haters, Mrs. First lady!
I love the hour glass figure every hour on the hour.
I don’t see nothing wrong with the first lady’s behind. It fits her because of her frame. Let’s say that Michelle decided to lose weight?( and I hope that she won’t) . She’ll be too skinny.What he must get is that not everybody want to be a shapeless stick figure like some of those supermodels we see on the runway.
It’s interesting how Sensenbrenner brought up about her rear. What was he doing looking at it anyway? I agree with you, he knows that he want a piece of it,but is scared of being chastized for it by members of his own party.
Exactly.
A lot of people don’t really know what a ‘real’ female figure looks like anymore, what with the penchant for anorexic models with obvious breast implants. A starving waif doesn’t naturally possess large mammary glands. That’s the irony in Japanese anime, BTW – the girls are supposedly 12 – 16-year-old schoolgirls, what with their tiny uniforms, but they have the bodies of swimsuit models!
Anyway, Michelle Obama’s frame is quite proportioned. There is nothing wrong with it, and the idiocy of comparing her to some airbrushed, plastic stick is typical of a Limbauh idiot. Hell, that’s the same guy who claims that Michael J. Fox is ‘faking’ his Parkinson’s for simple sympathy…
The fact that Limbaugh is given an radio station to talk at all is nothing short of amazing.
No kidding. He, Imus, Liddy, Schlesinger and Stern are all various sides of the same hate-media coin.
Reminds me of a Non Sequitur comic strip I read a while back. A ragged, long-haired guy is standing on a barrel on a city street-corner, screaming nonsense at passers-by: “Flab bloba blibidy!!” A guy in a suit comes up to him and offers him a bath, clean clothes, and a ‘makeover’. Then the suit places the cleaned-up crazy guy behind a desk, in front of cameras. Final panel, you see the cleaned-up crazy guy on a big-screen TV in a bar, spouting the same nonsense as he did on the street-corner – a person seated at the bar watching him says, “Hey – this guy makes sense!”
I think that says it all…
That says a lot. I guess that’s how Rush, Ann, Pat, and the rest of them got their big breaks.
Like crackhead Limbaugh is one to talk!! Please every time he goes to sea world the trainers scream ‘how did her get out’ he looks like something Greenpeace is trying to protect. Take your big ass back to Whale Wars blimpo and let those environemnt dummies keep fighting to save you drug addict!
LOL.
Can you imagine ANYONE referring to a White U.S. President’s wife’s butt? I mean, really? It would be political suicide. One of my most treasured compliments came out of a big crowd of prisoners to which I was about to speak back in the early 1970′s. As I was walking down the aisle in the auditorium, one of the men yelled out, “You got big legs for a White girl!” and (obviously) I’m still talking about it. ;^)
LOL. I wouldn’t know how to take that one.
