Who Gives A Flip About Michelle Obama’s Toned Biceps?

March 16, 2009 / 3:08 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

She has beautiful, toned biceps and the press Just. Can’t. Shut. Up. About. It. Exhibit A:

Much has been said about our first lady’s fashion sense, but right now I’m in the throes of major arm-envy—hers are sculpted, strong, and not overly bulky. Nicely toned biceps and triceps are what I like to call the “show-off” muscles, because you see results so quickly, which is highly motivating.

More at here, here, here, here, here, and here.

And I barely scratched the surface with the bicep posts. Is there anything more trivial than whether the First Lady goes sleeveless or not?

And newspapers wonder why their readership is declining.

    Melissa,
    In answer to your question “Is there anything more trivial than whether the First Lady goes sleeveless or not?” Yes, I believe there is. Pictures of the One shirtless.

    Maybe they should spend more time covering her seething hatred for whites.

    Never noticed her arms, can’t stand to look at her, especially after reading her Senior Thesis. The Black Widow dress she worn during the campaign I think spoke loudly to all of us, wonder if Hussein noticed? Her so called “fashion sense” and the ruckus made about it, prove her to be just one more Airhead in DC. I’m glad my daughter is to old to consider her a “role model” of any kind.

    You are complaining about people talking about it when you are extending the life of the story by talking about it.

    I was going to say something nasty about Mrs. Obama, but your rules returned me to sanity.

    Not that I’m afraid of saying it to her face… I would.

    But having it posted on your blog… different story.

    Good rules. Thanks for bringing me back to my senses.

    D-Vega – talking about it is not so much the issue. The issue is the pathetic hero-worship way the “media” discusses anything Obama.

    My favorite comment from the readers of the article –

    “Sculpted arms?? WHAT??!! They look like 2 speed bags hanging off a pole. Can the press please stop with the post election orgasmic afterglow?”

    I haven’t really understood the fuss over her arms, nor particularly over her fashion sense. I never found her to be as stylish as Jackie Kennedy (for the time), and I’m not exactly famous for my own good taste.

    I do think there’s a make-over going on, both in terms of her behavior and how she’s being portrayed in the media lately. The lecturing seems to be confined to the President these days.

    This, too, shall pass.

    I believe the adoration of the pecs and arms of the Chosen Ones is just the usual, subtle left wing racism. Kind of like describing a black person as ‘articulate’.
