The Huffington Post reported the following story:
WASHINGTON -- Actor Robert De Niro stumped for President Barack Obama on Monday night, joking that the country may not be ready for the white culture that each of the GOP presidential candidates would bring into the White House.
"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white First Lady?" De Niro asked a crowd of Obama supporters, according to a White House pool report. De Niro was hosting a fundraiser with Michelle Obama at his New York City restaurant, Locanda Verde.
The crowd "roared" in response to De Niro's question, according to the pool report, and De Niro said back, "Too soon, right?"
Imagine that Robert DeNiro had asked "Do you think the country is ready for a first lady with natural hair?"
The photoshopped image of Michelle Obama with natural hair has gone viral on the internet. I wonder what the country's response to the first lady with natural hair would be. I'd love to know what you think the response would be. Please leave your comment.

People already hate on the first family. If she wore a natural hairstyle, that would just give them something else to complain about. I personally think she is a beautiful woman and would look fabulous.
I think it would be a disaster. Not because of how she would look (I think natural hairstyles are beautiful). I think it would be a disaster because I have a natural hairstyle and strangers approach me all the time and ask to touch my hair. Some people are even bold enough to just reach right out and grab a few strands of my dreadlocks and run them through their filthy fingers.
Could you imagine The First Lady visiting the Governor's mansion in Arizona and being greeted by Jan Brewer. Instead of pointing fingers or shaking hands, Jan runs her bony little fingers through Michelle's natural hair style? That "Southside" mentality would come out and the First Lady would snap.
