The first Lady was invited to give the Commencement Address at a college. During this speech, she made comments about Donald Trump. My question is having made these comments is she now fair game for Mr. Trump to comment on in return and even if she is, should he?

    Make a political comment, expect a political reply. We all do it, we all deal with it, and being in her position, it would be shameful if she didn't feel the heat.

    Is this the same speech where she complained about waking up in a house built by slaves? Why didn't she move out?

    I wonder if Bill Clinton will dare to open his mouth once he is First Bitch.

    The Left does seem to enact a lot of rules -- such as the new CFPB rule about payday lending -- which show such a total lack of understanding of what it's like to be poor, that I call them "Let them eat cake laws."

    The Left's opponents, both conservative and libertarian, need to start calling them on it.

    Mrs. Obummer has been fair game since this amateur Dietician-In-Chief turned school lunches into PC blaugh.
    In fact, Moochie first became fair game when first time around Candidate Hitlery openly reacted to the infamous "first time I'm proud to be an American" statement.

    Considering that she is far too important to diverge an hour or two from her schedule/agenda to share a ride on Air Force One (and instead spends millions of our money taking her own transport with her own entourage) - happens on all of their trips - I would label her as a moocher and a de facto administration staffer. If she was minding her own business like Laura Bush was and just encouraging kids to read, that would be different. M O'bummer seems to be intent on setting policy, arguing the liberal view points, and acting like a low-class piece of trash while pimping J.Crew clothes as product placement for side gifts & side cash.

    Don't throw a punch, verbal or otherwise unless you are willing to suffer the counter.

    She has long been a political animal therefore I feel that she was fair game from the start.

    The real question is whether or not she is worthy of notice? My personal opinion of her is that she is beneath whale feces, but then again The Donald has never shied away from slinging that kind of stuff in the past.

    First of all, a commencement address is about the students, not politics. Secondly, if anyone chooses to enter the fray, they are fair game. Go get her Donald.

    Michelle Obama reminds me of a backup singer in the Supremes group of the 60's. She has NO class and should just be ignored. Nancy Reagan had class. Jackie Kennedy had class. Even Barbara Bush had some class. But Michelle Obama has NONE

    If she going to get involved by commenting, then she has invited feedback...

    Fair game gives the assumption that there are rules to be followed. The party in charge has been shredding the rules. Including the rule book.

    Yes. Once they interject themselves into politics their just meat on the hoof. By choice. Especially choosing an important or was an important rites of passage ceremony and cheapening it. She made her bed let the tomatoes fly....

    One should not cast unfounded aspersions however. for example terming her Michelle Antoinette the Queen Moocher because of the Paris jaunt 7.5 years ago. Antoinette is NOT her real name. The rest is accurate. Another example would be using her socialist leanings to change that name to ..mmmm....Eva Michelle Antoinette Obomba Braun. Her name is NOT Eva. Just two frinstances. (from For instance elided into one word).

    In my opinion, the President's family is off-limits for political attacks as long as they remain non-political, only supporting non-partisan causes like encouraging reading, physical activity, or drug addicts getting treatment, or photo-op appearances at a small number of important political events (party nomination, inauguration, etc.

    Michelle Obama stepped outside of this circle of protection with her 'do it my way or lose federal funding' school lunch program, so she's fair game politically.

    Anyone should be able to speak freely about anyone else. If truth is spoken moochelle can't do anything about it. DT, if he responds, shouldn't double barrel it. He should just speak truth, its damning enough.
