Michelle Obama Watch

Rusty Depass has a new cohort in the what the $#*& were they thinking-unimaginative racist club. No seriously, couldn't all these folks get together and brainstorm some new innovative ways to articulate their bigotry. By now many of you have heard about the rocket scientist Walt Baker. Mr. Baker is now the FORMER CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality Association. By former, we mean recently FORMER, on account of his utter complete stupidity: This was a no-brainer. Mr. Hospitality forwarded an e-mail depicting Michelle ... Read More

I'm filing this one under chicanery and foolishness. It seems that Scott Baio, of the TV show Happy Days, posted an augmented unflattering picture of First Lady Michelle Obama on Twitter with the caption, "WOW He wakes up to this every morning." According to the NY Daily News ... "Ex-"Happy Days" star Scott Baio says he's received a barrage of death threats after he mocked Michelle Obama on Twitter. Baio, 48, posted an unflattering picture of the First Lady on Tuesday accompanied by some ... Read More

For everyone that is determined to make the security of the First Family and the White House the responsibility of a Social Secretary, this is for you. An internal Secret Service training document reveals 91 security breaches from 1980 to 2003. According to CNN.com... "Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan confirmed the existence of the internal report, which was first disclosed in the Washington Post on Monday. Donovan would not provide CNN a copy of the report, but said it is a historical document that is used to ... Read More

This is Gina. I am sure one of the other contributors will be getting to this issue. This is likely one of the biggest issues to hit the East Wing in the year we've been covering them. I make no judgments PUBLICLY, although I've had some HYSTERICAL email exchanges.. I remain conflicted about Desiree Rogers although some of the members of our beloved comments section expressed their displeasure with the public profile of First Lady Michelle Obama's Social Secretary. ...

Google has removed the racist image of First Lady Michelle Obama from their images search. Google employee Jem left this comment in the Google Web Search help forum... "If you recently used Google Images to search for the term [ Michelle Obama ], you may have seen results that were very disturbing. We assure you that the views expressed by the image in your results are not in any way endorsed by Google. As with Google Web Search, ranking in Google Images results relies heavily ... Read More

It has been 2 days since I began my countdown to how long it would take Google to FIX their image search result for Michelle Obama. Just in case you've never done a search I'll save you the time. This is what you will find... How disturbing is that?  What's even more disturbing is that one of the world's most powerful search engines, Google, has not officially responded nor have they taken the image down. A Google employee by the name of Jimmy Deheeger, title unknown, ... Read More

If  you have not go ahead, open a new window, and search. I'll wait for you... What did you see? No it was not the Official White House Photo of First Lady Michelle Obama. Unbelievable huh? No your eyes did not deceive you. What you saw was a racist caricature that depicts the First Lady of the United States as a chimpanzee. Somehow the slogan, "you've come a long way baby," is not the first thing that pops into my mind. For all of the post-racial America ... Read More

Hola! Happy Friday, this is your former blog editor, Gina aka "admin," checking in briefly to engage in a cyber side-eye. I'm not supposed to be blogging BTW, its I'm a participant in National Novel Writing Month :), but I was provoked! I am aware that many long-time readers balk anytime I mention the name Nia-Malika Henderson on this blog. I apologize in advance, but I am afraid it is necessary. Nia works for Politico, one of the top ten most valuable "blogs" ... Read More

The well gets deeper and deeper. Every time I write a post about the First Lady's slave roots, I keep telling myself it will be the last one. What's the use in stating the obvious? However, the mainstream media just won't let up. How dare that Michelle Obama become First Lady of the United States and forget her Caucasian fourth cousins? Shoudn't they have been looked up and invited to the Inauguration festivities? Maybe invited to live at 1600? Or a spin ... Read More

I wasn't sure if I should post this under chicanery and foolishness or merchandise. I'll let you all be the judge. Thanks to Gwen,  a vigilant Michelle Obama Watcher, we've found out that the Danbury Mint may be trying to pull the old bait and switch. After 5 months of waiting to receive her Inaugural rendition of the First Lady all dolled up, she received a cheap imitation in a cheesy cheesecloth dress. This lack luster, pale imitation of the First Lady ... Read More
