GOP Rep. Sensenbrenner On Michelle Obama: ‘She Lectures Us On Eating Right While She Has A Large Posterior’

» 100 comments

Wisconsin’s GOP Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R) has a beef (and a side of mash potatoes) (with extra butter) (tip your waitress) with First Lady Michelle Obama, particularly with her attempts to promote healthier eating and exercise habits.

According to a “Democratic operative” who shared his or her story with Fishbowl DC, Sensenbrenner, speaking loudly on his phone at Reagan National Airport’s Delta Crown lounge, relayed a story that happened following a church auction: After he’d bought a bunch of “crap,” a woman came up to Sensenbrenner and praised the First Lady, prompting him to muse that “she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”

RELATED: First Lady Michelle Obama Booed At NASCAR Race

Fishbowl DC reached out to Amanda Infield at Sensenbrenner’s Washington press office, asking “1. Does the Congressman realize that he, also, has a large behind? 2. Does he always speak so loudly on the cell phone?”

Ms. Infield responded thusly:

Hi Betsy, I am not going to comment on my boss’ “behind.”

Mr. Sensenbrenner was referring to the First Lady’s healthy food initiative. He doesn’t think the government should be telling Americans what to eat. While he may not agree with all of her initiatives, he plans to contact the First Lady’s office to apologize for his comments.

Amanda

My two cents? These two should each bring a dish of their choice to a potluck lunch and discuss the government’s role in public health.

    Have you looked in a mirror lately, you tub of lard?  And for the record … Michelle Obama — our FIRST LADY — has a kick ass body …. And while we’re at it, since when is it ok to attack the First Lady? I can only imagine if someone had made such a gross, tasteless, and disrespectful comment against oh, say, Laura Bush. And I’m sure the usual characters here on Mediaite will somehow try and justify this fat slob’s comments.

    The government is not dictating what you should eat fatso, but, they should make an exception for your lard ass. Does this idiot even know Michelle Obama’s exercise/fitness routine? She is in better shape than Obama…and he has said so himself. He can never keep up with her in the gym. She is a FULL FIGURED and healthy black woman. Look at the toning of her arms and legs. Her physique is perfectly fine for her stature.

    A lot of us black women are naturally shaped this way. Some women are boy shaped, other V shaped, apple shaped, pear shaped, triangle shaped, etc. Michelle Obama is a pear shaped, with small chest and larger bottom.

Since when is it wrong to promote good nutrition and health?  This is an example of the decline and fall of the GOP.  Contrariness on every subject, obstruction, refusal to compromise or put the nation first.  With friends like the GOP who needs enemies like Al Qaeda?    Other than being an arseholoe, Jim, what exactly do you do in Congress?

    There is a difference between mandating healthy diets and trying to encourage a healthier life-style.  Sensenbrenner doesn’t seem to realize that there has been no coercion in part of the First Lady, only the spreading of information.  Personally, I’d be a lot happier with the First Lady’s initiative if they tried to do something about food deserts, which empirically seem to the the primary factors behind our inner-city childhood obesity epidemic.

    I dont understand this crap, The First Lady is not telling anyone how they should eat, just giving people an alternative to live a healthier life. She is not going to put anyone in jail for not eating carrots. Some people make such a big deal out of nothing, she is only bringing awareness of the benefits of eating healthy

  • tabaqui jackal

    That’s also part of her initiative – just in the last couple of months she was having meetings and getting info on how to fix ‘food deserts’ – she’s aware of the problem and working to correct it.  Which is about 100 percent more effort than this man seems to be putting into anything.

  • tabaqui jackal

    Since when is it incumbent upon the First Lady – or any woman – to look like a ‘swimsuit model’ to be deemed fit/healthy/attractive?  Oh – that’s right – since the ‘male gaze’ became paramount and eating two sticks of celery a day became ‘healthy dieting’.

    I personally don’t care about the size of the Scarecrow’s butt.  The piggish nature of this woman is her love for high dollar vacations paid for by the 99%.  She takes dozens of staff and scores of protection detail away from their families during the holidays so she and the little piglets can stay in lavish luxury on the beach in Hawaii.  She calls Hawaii, for some reason, home.  This is the most expensive presidential vacation in history, and the president isn’t even there.  She uses one of the giant Air Force jets, and I’m sure a decoys, and fills it with family and friends.  When the president decides to come along it will be another armada of aircraft.  Would it be too much to ask this piggish woman to wait for her husband to finish his duties before she begins her large party?  It might save us a few million, feed a few poor children whose fathers have no jobs because her husband thinks that socialism and free money are the keys to prosperity.  

    Hey, I know.  Why doesn’t he just give every American family a free 747JumboJet.  That way we can all go to Hawaii on vacation.  The Aeronautical Workers Union would love it.  Who’ll pay for it?  If we can’t squeeze it out the rich we can just print more money.  Happy Days are Here Again!

    I know.  Even though I voted for him, I’ve become a racist.

    Unfortunately, yes, it DOES help the GOP. This is the moral and intellectual level on which they think and live. They eat this stuff up, and stuff like this fires up their base. Really. They take this stuff far more seriously than foreign policy, the economy or environmental issues. If you don’t believe that, just look at the angry posts on this thread from so-called “conservatives.” Disagree with them, and you’re a “libbrul socialist,” which they could never define, but they’ve heard it on Fox often enough to know it’s something really REALLY bad.

    I’ve never seen a first lady who thought that first lady was a royal position.  Our nation is in the midst of its worst downturn in almost 100 years and these people have no regard the people they serve other than making sure that the high rolling party continues and the gates are tightly locked, unless you’ve got deep pockets and a liberal following. 

    This woman has a personal staff of 23.  Each of these people are paid more than $100,000 per year.  If I question this we are belittled by the likes of you? You suggest I’m jealous? 

    No, I’m worried that our nation may not be able to withstand even one more year of a minor political hack with no leadership skills and an imperial Emelda Marcos wannabee occupying the White House.

    You ask about my offspring.  They are the ones who volunteer to help the poor on a regular basis and are in church every Sunday.  I see the Obama kids, on the other hand..  I see the same disdain in their eyes that is in the eyes of the one who nurtures them.  These are not the qualities we expect to see in children of a president.
