Michelle Obama walking dog
Michelle Obama my beloved First lady has stated publicly that she wants to concentrate on raising Malia and Sasha right now and playing hostess . Nothing wrong with that , I think she is doing a wonderful job setting an example for women all over the world of what a good wife is . On that same note since Michelle Obama has elected to stay clear of the current political debates for the most part being waged in Washington we must gage her performance as First lady based on more of a traditional view of the role of the First lady . The idea for this piece came out of nowhere as I was browsing though pictures of Michelle Obama wearing shorts on the Grand Canyon trip . It seems the First lady has put on a few pounds since the non-stop action of the presidential campaign . I have always loved to guess peoples weights and ages and I have become quite good at it over the years . Having once tried my hand at boxing I managed to get a very good idea of what my own fighting weight should be and for that of my opponent (sizing up) . That's the gist of the sweet science , there are no time outs like other sports . One night I found myself in the ring sparring with a hulk of a heavyweight and I could not catch my breath for the life of me , scared the hell out of me enough so that I never came in the ring out of shape again . .
Michelle Obama is far from being in fighting shape , and it has me wondering if I made the right decision back in January . Now is not the time for our Democratic leaders to get lazy on us . I did a little digging and found the menu for the main course at the first state dinner the Obama's held for Governor's . I want to share it with you because I think it will shed some light on Michelle Obama's weight gain .
Menu for Governors’ State Dinner
Wagyu Beef and Nantucket Scallops with Glazed Red Carrots, Portobello Mushroom and Creamed Spinach
Do you have any idea what wagyu beef is? For one it's the most expensive steak in the world and is closely related to American Kobe Beef . It's famous for its intense marbling , that's code word for it's the fattiest piece of steak in the world , has great taste but the fat is unsaturated . So basically you eat a $300-$500 per slice steak (look it up if you do not believe me) that melts in your mouth , you will gain weight if you do not watch it and you will not have blocked arteries . Not that bad a trade off unless you are the first lady of the United States . Wagyu rivals foie gras for richness and caloric content .
Conclusion: I found at least four sights like Wooden Spears listing Michelle Obama at 137 back in February which I find almost impossible to believe just based on the First ladies height . I would guess from looking at these pictures that Michelle Obama is tipping the scales at around 178-183 pounds . A good weight for her would be around 169 .
I hope that some good comes of this . Since Michelle Obama made her " for the first time i'm proud to be an American " mistake , the Obama think tank led by Axelrod has put Michelle on the bench . Let's hope they put her back in the game soon so she can help out with some of the current issues that voters are worried about .

ISN'T SHE JUST ADORABLE? I'LL BET THE QUEEN JUST LOVED IT WHEN SHE HUGGED HER AND PUT HER ARMS AROUND HER! WHAT AN HONOR TO BE THE FIRST COMMONER TO ACTUALLY TOUCH THE QUEEN!
She is SOOOOOO adorable! I like that typical huge, female, black butt and legs!!
No.
michelle is my couisn and i love her
HOW IGNORANT MICHELLE OBAMA A COMMONER HAHAHAHAH YOU THINK THE QUEENS SHYT DON'T STINK // AMAZING
THATS WHAT WRONG WITH THE WORLD NOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU... A REAL COMMONER!
She is really beautiful no matter what her weight. It must be hard living in the white house bubble.
Is it only me that is having a problem with our home grown Royalty enjoying the recession while Americans are losing their jobs and homes? A family could feed their family for a week with $300.00 dollars. Let them eat cake and history repeats it’s self.
At about 5'11" with heavy legs and rear, you're probably right about 178-183lbs. With her age, height, sex, and bone structure, I would say 145-150lbs would be a good healthy weight.
As if her weight is anybody's business. Michelle looks great and it's obvious she's still working out and fit.
Seriously, get a life - you're a jackass.
Maybe Michelle should mind her own business about other peoples weight. She runs up $400+ lunch tabs, I guess eventually it is going to show, eh? Just love these "elected" servants of the people-ha.
When she tells others what to eat then it is a concern. Look up hippo-crit.
It's our business because she is going around telling everyone to lose weight. She is also out eating cheeseburgers and french fries at the same time she is trying to get french fries taken off the menus in American restaruants! THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I CARE ABOUT HER WEIGHT OR ANY OTHER THING ABOUT HER,....AT ALL!!!
Normally, I couldn't care less about Michelle Obama, except SHE is going around telling ALL OF US to quit eating french fries and lose weight when SHE eats french fries and cheeseburgers and obviously gains lots of weight! Normally, I don't care what anyone eats or how much they weight, but since she is so self righteous and makes such a huge deal about what we all weight.... yes.......HER WEIGHT IS OUR BUSINESS. You say she is obviously working out and still fit, I see about a 30 lbs weight gain just since she started telling us how to eat!!! By the way......I am not PROUD of our first lady because she has never been PROUD of this nation!!! Sorry.
The word fit is relative, fit compared to what?....
$400 lunch tabs? Repeating de-bunked rumors just make you look like a fool, anonymous....which you probably are. No one is telling you what to eat, but I'll be you eat everything in sight. Porker. Get back to your fries.
Michelle is a big fat smelly PIG and needs to stop telling people what to eat. While she shovels 300$ a bite steak in her PIG mouth.
Yeah right she's still working out on those Krispy Kremes every day.
Who cares??? WHo has that much time on their hands to analyze how much weight she's gain? She looks better than any other first lady, with an exception to JKO....Oh...I forgot Barbara Bush was in perfect shape too!..yeah right! Just stupid, spend your time on something that really makes a difference!
Barbara did go around telling people what they shoul be eating. Move on.
Barb was twenty years older when she was first lady.
Judging by all that junk in Michelle's trunk, girlfriend is not passing up on the desserts at the White House dinners.
To the blacks she looks beautiful and slim and has excellent taste in clothes. To the whites she is unattractive, 5o pounds over weight and has no taste in clothes. It is an ethnic view point.
What does this have to do with breast cancer? Get a life. there are so many more important things out there.
I think we should be more concerned about the amount of money being spent on these dinners. Is the economy doing that well, that this doesn't seem excdessive?
The 1st lady may have gained a little weight but she's still a knock-out to me. I wish i had someone like her. Don't judge her by the covering. Open up the book !! Her resume is sure PHAT !!!!!.
"To the blacks she looks beautiful and slim and has excellent taste in clothes. To the whites she is unattractive, 5o pounds over weight and has no taste in clothes. It is an ethnic view point."
I think you're wrong, and your comment is an example of seeing only what you believe to be true. I think the whole country's in love with Michelle. Yes, I agree that black women are more accepted if they happen to be voluptuous, while white women are blasted for having the same full figure. But to say that whites consider Obama to be unattractive is, in my opinion, a big and inaccurate (and kind of flippantly racist) generalization. I'm white and I admire her. I don't know anyone who feels the way you stated, except partisans who are looking for a reason to criticize a strong woman and vocal democrat who's got a lot of class.
It's just the African women with that jungle heritage tend to store more fat in the gluteus area than normal people do. It protects them from famine which is common in Africa. Reminds one of the Sir Mixalot song, "Baby Got Back".
Obviously everyone has their own opinion. And this is my opinion....I think she needs to be on the "Biggest Loser".
Yes, I think the concern should be about how much money it's costing us for her to put that weight on....wish I could afford steak and mushrooms for dinner. I'm to busy paying taxes buying cuts of meat that work in the crock pot.
As of 10/02/09, judging from her pictures on trips to Copenhagen, she definitely weighs more than 180 lb
Leave Michelle Obama alone! He weight is fine. She still looks good in her clothes. If the media would stop taking pictures of her in compromising positions as she is walking, stooping or standing everything would be alright.
She has come a long way baby, now leave her alone
Maybe she shouldn't campaign against obesity.
Does Barak still chain smoke those menthols?? I hear he drinks malt liquor beer also? Is that for sure?

I would imagine making the transition to the White House with all the fantastic prepared food is very rough. She looks like she's gained a few lbs. - I know I would too! I'm sure she'll figure things out and start losing the excess.
What in hell are all of you (obviously government schooled) jackasses talking about? She can't even match colors. Just look at her, she has all of OUR money at her disposal with zero taste. She's as 'classy' as her white Momma-in-law! I wonder why Bambam didn't take his girls and wife to see their dying Grandmother in Hawaii.
Fat and dresses like a slob.
Looks like she just rolled out of bed, no effort. Pitful excuse for a First Lady, she has no style sense and dresses like a child. Her evening wear are designed to hide her weight, but with the hair up she has a big round face. What will she look like it three years.
She will better than you
Flotus is embracing the Renaissance loor of year gone by, big and curvy. She has got to be ove 200 pounds by now. Anytime she next to her hubby she looks much larger than him. Nothing worse than women being fatter than their spouses. But Michelle has obviously given up on caring about her weight. The stress of the White House she gotten the better of her. Even her dauthers appear to have their mother shape.
No matter what angle the camera is , Flotus is fat. She even adds to it by showing off her chubby cheeks on her face, pulling her hair back, it looks horrrible.
I am reminded of the Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich) line. "Why, that woman has two asses..." She should dress a little more appropriately for a first lady, and that does not mean she has to look frumpy. She should look at some casual pictures of Jackie Kennedy for ideas. The more serious side of this is how much the Os have spent on parties in 2008 - I read it was $10 Mil, partying with Hollywood and other wealthy fans that will be big contributors to O. This is ludicrous when the average American is struggling!
ask any physician and they will look at her BMI and say she is overweight. end of story. She's not obese, not normal, not underweight, but OVERWEIGHT.
My concern is that Michelle speaks out on obesity and proper eating, then turns around and disregards her own advise for the rest of us! If she wants to be a roll model then act like one!
So many people talk about how smart she is, could someone tell me why/how she lost her law license in 1993? Verified on Illinois professional license site
Grow a brain for God's sake. She did not "lose her law license" she requested that it be put on inactive status as she was no longer using it. It costs money to remain an active bar member, in license fees, malpractice insurance, association fees. It is a simple matter to reactivate it. Just as it is a simple matter to look all this up on line, and see that there are no disciplinary actions against her. Something you are apparently too dumb to do.
Most likely legal malpractice. She had to surrender her license or get disbarred. Most of the details are censored. You'll have better luck trying to find Barry's Kenyan birth certificate... which I'm sure is expired!!!!
I bet none of you would win a beauty contest. Sad, sorry, judgmental people.
Michelle is getting that typical big butt, big leg, black female figure. Too much junk food!!!
