Usually I don't react or comment on every racist and stupid remark being made about the President, The first lady, Blacks, Latinos,Arabs, any non-whites period...and If it were not a slow news day I would not be writing about this...but this takes the damn cake..
In Alabama....Alabama high school psychology teacher Bob Grisham has been suspended for 10 days without pay for a rant that included calling the first lady “fat butt Michelle Obama." A student in Grisham’s class made an audio recording of the remarks, which also included derogatory comments about gays.
Bob Grisham's suspension from Lauderdale County High School begins on Tuesday, and he has been barred from teaching his class for the rest of the school year and ordered to attend sensitivity training. Also the school's head football coach, he will be assigned "other academic duties'' for the rest of the year in place of teaching his class, according to Lauderdale County Superintendent Jennifer Gray.
Bob Grisham will also have to meet monthly with Mark Butler, the school system's personnel director, to make sure he is meeting his requirements. Grisham's coaching job was not addressed at the Board of Education meeting on Monday night that decided his punishment for the remarks, Butler told TODAY.com.
During a debate-type discussion about current affairs in his class on Jan. 27, Grisham blamed the school’s low-calorie lunch offerings on “fat butt Michelle Obama.’’ He also added, “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.’’
In that same class, he also voiced his disdain for homosexuals.
“I don’t believe in queers,’’ he said. “I don’t like queers. I don’t hate them as a person, but what they do is wrong and an abomination against God.’’
And this guy is teaching children? Amazing...With the possible exception of Hillary Clinton, I have never seen such vitriol, such blatant dis-respect directed at a first lady of these United States..Deplorable...
Personally...I like the first lady's butt, but that's just me!
I'm sure the first lady ignores this crap and just takes it in stride...this being the nature of the beast that is some people in America.
Bob Grisham told Florence, Alabama's Times Daily last week that he misspoke during the debate in his class. Of course he did.
“We are profoundly disappointed in the actions and statements of Mr. Grisham,’’ Gray said in a statement. “The Board has taken actions specifically calculated to prevent such actions and statements from being made again. The Board hopes that this will serve as learning opportunity that all can move forward in a positive and productive manner.’’
Grisham’s comments about the First Lady’s posterior are the latest in a string of negative mentions. Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio host, has called her Michelle “My Butt’’ Obama, and Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) was heard saying “she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.’’
The Atlantic also ran a story in December 2011 titled, “Why Fat Conservatives Love Calling Michelle Obama Fat” in which it labeled calling the First Lady fat one of the right wing’s “top political memes.’’
They could have also ran the same article and called it "Why Fat Conservatives have nothing better to do than pick on the first lady and Gays also...Same thing...
Bunch of idiots...

Michelle Obama is obviously in excellent physical condition. The Michelle the wingnuts see is a product of their diseased minds, just like the "socialist Muslim tyrant" they think is her husband. If Rush Limbaugh wants to see a fat pig, he can just look in a mirror.
When both Barack Obama and his wife are subjected to unprecedented disrespect by ultraconservatives known for their contempt for black people, racism obviously makes the list of most likely motives.
BTW: The only thing about Michelle Obama that's "fat" are her biceps. She could pound a squishy fat worm like Jim Sensenbrenner or lardball Limbaugh into jelly if she wanted.
So what? Michelle has a fat, beautiful, round butt and it is awesome. Mr. Obama is a lucky man.
I think Mrs. Obama can handle herself. This teacher, however, is about 30 years behind in his social acceptance studies. A 10 day intensive seminar on what is acceptable to the next generation is in order.
Bottom line is if you are an educator in High School you need to curtail your comments in private. Do not put your opinions out there when some student is bound to record what you are saying, right or wrong! Guaranteed your comments will end up on their facebook page! Use common sense people!
This man needs long term counseling and needs at least a years suspension. This is a hate crime in my estimation.
So much for the 1st Amendment to The Constitution of The United States. I'm sure my comment will be deleted..I am an American and I deserve to be heard!
