This isn’t exactly true. There have always been black families in residence at the White House. That place was one big plantation back in the day and they still need 24 hour cooks, maids and butlers today.

I’m actually surprised that I’m reading here on T-Nation that you folks think Michelle Obama is fit. That thought has never crossed my mind at all. Actually, I recall thinking on several occasions that now that she is the Presidents wife she’s going to have to get her butt (big butt that is) into the gym and start shaping up. Her husband is the most influential man in the world now, he’s got lots of options (if ya get my drift) so she’d better shape up and not go the Hillary route.
Just my single opinion…
She doesn’t exactly strike me as being “in-shape” in this photo.
Edit: Let me clarify. I’m not saying that she looks “fat” really but I wouldn’t identify her as being what the regulars at T-Nation call in shape.[/quote]
people are saying she looks healthy, like she gets some kind of physical activity down. no one is saying shes an ideal…well actually maybe she should be, i mean i know its sad that the 20-30 minutes of physical activity a day that it takes to achieve that is not done by most people but its a start, anything so that there isnt so many fat or just plain inactive people around.
personally, i never heard anything or anyone mention her physique until this thread.

Guy, “in shape” today means “not bed ridden and can walk longer than 30 feet without collapsing”.
Anyone more “fit” than that is obviously crazy and suffers from “bigorexia”.
In fact, I am absolutely sure that within the next 20 years, it will be against the law to be an overachiever in any form.

Cankles. They give me shivers in the bad way. Sadly for those who sport cankles, there is nothing you can do about them. It’s just the shape of your leg.

Actually, Cankles are when your calf fat hangs down and covers your ankles. I do not have cankles. I don’t have ankles either though, my leg just ends in foot.

Actually, if you listen to the TV ads for some prescription meds, in the disclaimer they say “Must be able to sit upright or stand for 30 minutes after taking…”
