These days, publications will do just about anything to be controversial and get more eyeballs and press coverage. And this time, a magazine called Fuera de Serie went a little politically incorrect. On the August cover of its publication, the first lady's face is superimposed on a famous painting that depicts a slave in a simple white headdress and gown, with a breast exposed. Did the magazine go too far?

NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports:
A Spanish magazine this month depicts Michelle Obama as a 19th Century French slave — a controversial move that has left critics wondering if the image choice was more provocative than political.

Really makes me a bit sad that so much has been put in print that is distasteful regarding this family. I have seen quite a few Presidents and their families come and go but can truthfully say since the dawn of the computer age there was not the hate and anger spewed that we have seen against President Bush and Obama. These gentlemen have been slammed. I agree neither has been a great leader but they both have tried and did their best. For that they have received more garbage on the net than we have heard or seen before. Tells us all the direction we are headed.

I say they did. Like it or not ( and I don't support many of Obama's policies), she is the wife of the President of this country and deserves respect as such.

I personally think both parties suck and neither is worthy enough to even be pissed on even if they were on fire. But why is it always comments from the left? The right gives the exact same comments about the left. And the comments have been worse from the right about Obama than any other President. Pretty immature statement to make considering the right does it just as much as the left.

Just constantly reffering to him as Kenyan, Muslim, socialist, terrorist, racist Barrack Hussien Obama. Even though he is of Kenyan descent andhis middle name is Hussien, you rarely here of Romney being called Mexican, Mormon, aristocratic, elitist Mittens Moneybags Romney. I'll bet you $10,000

I have INCREDIBLE disdain for the Obamas. Neither of them have ANY clue on how a head of state should act. Their social manners are abysmal, and I find their overly egocentric narcissism appalling. BUT... Like her or not, Michelle Obama IS the First Lady of the USA, and therefore, whether she acts that way or not, deserves the respect due the spouse of a head of state.
