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?

+55Really 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.
An elegant, classy lady who gives willingly of her time and energy, passionate about making her country a better place. There's no need to demean her by characterizing her as a slave, especially when her message is one of liberation.
Yes! Love this comment.
And now, though so many of us have already had the privilege of seeing the First Lady shine two days ago the way she does below, here she is again. Over half a million have watched just this version of her speech alone.
Methinks she received applause, as enthusiastic as Orson's above, by many, many people. We are lucky to have her for our First Lady.
It's my belief that people as decent and classy as the Obamas only became electable in the U.S. BECAUSE of the previous gross excesses of the above-mentioned boorish aristocratic family.
Notice the eagles on that crest? For now, let's just call that 'coincidence.'
Sorry, have trouble holding back on this subject. Not a fan of that family, not at all.
The Obamas, already very fine people, become saints and angels compared to their neoconservative predecessors.
