If people were able to make fun of President Bush, his daughters and Jimmy Carter and Amy Carter, etc. etc., jokes with comedians are fair game. They do it on SNL and other shows all the time.

I don't find the comedian the least bit funny, but I don't find small minded men funny. FL Michelle is a class act and its unfortunate that a so call AA comedian can only come up with disparaging jokes about the FL. He's not intelligent enough to look at the positive and use anyone of them to make fun?

I think that the comedian was a white guy.

Michelle Obama is the first black first lady in history. Rush Limbaugh is a fat, former drug addict who hosts a radio show and says that he wants America to fail. There's a big difference you idiot.

Rush Limbaugh is not the president or first lady. He is setting him self up to be the voice for the Republican party. He in no way should be compared to them. Therefore, I question you. If someone use an actual flub by either of them and make a joke it is fair game but to be so far off base lets me question your interlect...

I know y'all gon get mad, but we if we are gonna dish it out, we have to be ready to take it too! I am positive Michelle Obama does not give a rat's a** what some obscure, not funny, so-called comedian says about her! I felt worse when Rush "Fatboy Addict" Limbaugh said about Chelsea Clinton being the family's new DOG!! And she was all of about 11 or 12 years old if that! Public figures are subject to criticism and (bad)jokes and the like, and though it may sting, believe me, as an African American,she (not to mention all of us) have been called worse! Let's not give this guy any credibility by making it a big deal...he does not deserve the publicity.

Well said! I always think that I being an AA woman have to make folks mad too! It's nice to know I'm not alone. She is the First Lady but she is fair game whether we like it or not.
