Flashback from the campaign: Romney supporter says Michelle Obama doesn't "look like" a First Lady

[bluestateguy]

“I just don’t like him. Can’t stand to look at him. I don’t like his wife — she’s far from the First Lady. It’s about time we get a First Lady in there who acts like a First Lady and looks like a First Lady.”

1. You mean, white?

Jeez. Yeah, "nice, old lady".

[Bucky]

5. Maybe he meant "Doesn't do her own gardening"

[liberal N proud]

2. They wouldn't consider themselves as racist.

Ignorance lives.

[undeterred]

3. The trouble with Republicans is that they don't look like America.

All those blondes and pasty old white guys.

4. The only thing Mitt and Glove looked like was

Two leaders of the John Birch society (or worse)

2 sheets to the wind (pun intended)(actually double pun inteneded)

[Kurovski]

6. A distant white or Irish lady what be mindin' her own womanly silence.

Aye.

7. F**K Him.

Like Ann Romney does? Michelle is beautiful. She is the perfect First Lady.

8. I'll say what I say to people who say I don't look my age...

Well, that's my age, and this is what I look like. So this is what that age must look like.

Michelle Obama IS the First Lady. Therefore, that is what a First Lady looks like.

I have long suspected that MO being fully Af. American, and looking it, had some impact on the racism thing. And her skin being on the darker side. If she looked more "white," I think the hatred toward her would be less.

I think she looks awesome. More importantly, I think she's an exceptional human being, a wonderful mother and wife, and VERY smart and hard working.

9. You know who doesn't look like a First Lady ... Ann Romney because she is NEVER going to be one. nt
