FLOTUS and the burning bush - the real story
For the second time in her adult life, First Lady Michelle Obama is reportedly proud of her country. Recently, she invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet, Common, who is famous - in part - because his poetry includes threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the “burn[ing]” of then-President George W.

Burning bush:
a term used to describe the pubic hair of a red headed person - the act of setting your pubic hair on fire before performing sexual relations.
