The Mainstream Media Tackles the Tough Issues of the Day: Michelle Obama's Short Shorts Causing Controversy

Our lead story today is the racist attack on Americans by a Mexican group that wants to conquer America. This is what the AP is reporting about. Ray Singletary, er uh, Michelle Obama in shorts.

By now, Michelle Obama has firmly established her sartorial right to bare arms. But baring thighs may be another matter.

Photographs of the first lady descending the steps of Air Force One in shorts have the media in a sweat. Some are saying Mrs. Obama — on her way to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation — may have revealed too much skin.

"I thought the fact that she wore shorts was newsworthy because she’s the first first lady to wear shorts on Air Force One,” Strzemien said. “I was interested as a newsperson because it was a first. A lot of things the Obamas have done have been firsts.”

She posted a poll for readers to explain what they thought: Most were in favor of the outfit, but others thought the shorts were inappropriate or too short.

NBC’s “Today” show poll had similar results with a whopping 300,000 people responding to the vote. The blog post was the show’s most commented-on of 2009, said Dee Dee Thomas, a “Today” senior producer.
News you can count on?

I would have thought Chaka would fear the steel eagle who flys without flapping it's wings.

Can the media just get a life? If you're on summer vacation, you get to wear shorts! End of story.
