Scott Baio Tweets Bad Joke About Michelle Obama, Receives Death Threats

Baio, a staunch Republican, posted an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama to his Twitter page, accompanied by the following insightful commentary: "WOW He wakes up to this every morning." Chachi had previously been tweeting up a storm of Republican chest-thumping following Scott Brown's recent victory in Massachusetts, but as HuffPo reports, his mean-spirited tweet against the First Lady of Fabulous stirred outrage in more than a few of his followers. Baio says he's been receiving death threats ever since the tweet, while other followers have posted step-by-step instructions on how to kill himself. Not surprisingly, many have accused him of being racist. Baio masterfully refuted this claim by providing a photo of him with his wife's black friend, adding "Im NOT racist for posting a pic of M.O. My WIFE'S BEST FRD IS BLACK,HELLO." Ok, Chachi, case closed.
Well, congrats Bob Loblaw. You got what you wanted. But no matter how low you go to dig your name out of the dredges of cultural relevance, you'll never be able to avoid having to wake up every morning to the terrifying reality that you're Scott Baio.

Scott is an obvious Rebublican. They have a sense of humor, unlike those always scowling Democrats that always frown on Humor. Get over it. Life is too dam short. Eat desert First! Who Cares besides Obama? When you put yourself in the publics eye, expect some Puns. Like, What kind or name is "Amar Toor" anyway? Why should I care what an "Unknown" thinks anymore than you care what I think? Have a wonderful Life.

This “story” is yet another example of a liberal spreading that ubiquitous brand of liberal hate. Since Baio is a Republican, liberals will jump at any chance to ruin him. I wonder how many equally distasteful comments were made by liberal celebs about GWB or his wife or mother. Ever see any reactions like this from conservatives? Nope. Despicable!

First ladies have always been talked about,as well as our presidents.The difference now is when you go out of your way to place an unflattering picture of someone that you consider to be unattractive, what does that say about you.To Scott Baio, Wallis Simpson was not considered to be a beauty, but she captured the heart of a prince, The prince fell so far in love with this woman that he gave up his kingdom for the "woman I love". Now after all those years has passed, the niece of Prince Edward is now the Queen of England since the year of 1953. In 2009, Our President and First Lady were both photograhed with Queen Elizabeth. If one picture is worth a thousand words, the smile
on Queen Elizabeth's face posing with Michelle says it all. Whether Michelle is in her garden,addressing military wives,attending a function,she is a valuable helpmate.There
is hardly a day that I go to the store that I do not see a picture of her on a cover.

Scott Baio, just about everytime that I go to the store, there are new covers of books,
and magazines that present Michelle. She is sort out for interviews and her style, not
the first time that a First Lady has been singled out to sell magazines.What surprises
me about you going out of your way to acknowledge Michelle on such a level, is the idea
that for married man to post a picture of another man's wife, there must be something
about her that got your attention in the first place.Considering the fact that you would
even put Michelle's photo out there like that, does not say too much about Michelle, put
I have to say, it said a whole lot about you.One thing I am sure of, Michelle is not going
to answer your remarks. She does not have to,she is already guaranteed a chapter in
the history books. For a while you were famous, and now all these years later, you will
be infamous for sharing a picture of a woman that you are obviously attracted to!!

The most powerful couple in the world.On a daily basis we have women who work side by side with their husbands in the family business.You go wives!!On the night of the
election,President Obama acknowledged all of us,no one left out. He especially acknowedged the love of his life.He reminded his children that they had EARNED, the
new puppy that would be living in The White House.His children at their ages are young and well mannered.The first dog is a GIFT from Sen.Ted and Victoria Kennedy.When
Sen. Ted Kennedy was in poor health, he trusted our president to represent him in a
letter to The Pope.In the days of the man being the primary bread winner,Michelle was
selected at the law firm to be Barack Obama's mentor.With some reservations on the
part of Michelle, they were able to establish a relationship and marriage that still endures.
These are hard times, but we are still "Blessed"and have a lot to be thankful for.Peace!!

Another day and the band plays on. After seeing Michelle again in the picture,I have to
wonder why it so important to share with the universe. True story: Years ago coming
from work, I was mugged. When the officer asked me to describe the attacker, the only
truth that I could tell him other than the nationality was that he had two eyes, a nose,
a mouth, and two ears.Even now it sounds bizarre, but it is absolutely the truth. When
we all look in the mirror we see what we choose to see to feel good about ourselves,a
part of human nature.There is a multi-billion dollar industry for fake hair, and false teeth.
Over the years, we all have seen someone and wondered what he or she see in them,
but that is not for us to know.With the break-up and divorce rate, it is a "BLESSING"
to share that once in a lifetime relationship that others only wished they had, Michelle
has that with the family she loves.She has all the right features &her own hair and teeth!

Thank you for allowing me to share my final comments.Michelle never needed anyone
to speak out for her, her contributions has always been acknowledged. Over the years,
I had read about people being more upset about the criticizm that they received,more
than the praise that was passed their way. In the early seventies,I was cornered by
the camera and was on page A2, I hardly recognized my own self, but I knew that it was
me, even though I was described as a Bookworm,which was a compliment, out of four
photographs that was taken and placed in the newspaper that picture, I still do not like,
but my family remain tickeled by it.To Scott Baio, it does me no good, to continue being
upset,I will have my own issues to deal with.At the law firm where Michelle and Barack
worked, SHE WAS HIS MENTOR,she married him,he later became a Senator, and now
THE PRESIDENT!! To my co-writers, Oh happy days, farewell, take care&God Bless!!
