Although this was a wrong thing to do, it shows the double standard in today's world when it comes to equality of treatment for different sexes. In everything else people want to show equal rights for women and men. Noone flinches their eyelid when Mr. Obama is called gay or his picture used in worse caricatures but when Mrs. Obama is called something, the defenders of righteousness have to jump in to protect her. Seems like Women's right,freedom of speech, and sense and sensibilities do not agree with each other as far as equal treatment.

I like Michelle Obama a lot and would never compare her such tastelessly but come on making a national issue out of this only makes the thing worse, now everyone will be talking about it and comparing. Those guys at Univision did not do her any favor by making this a national issue.
