You say the difference is obvious, so I have to assume you are talking about skin color. Michelle's is closer to a gorilla's than President Bushs' Is that what you are saying?

But then you go on to CLAIM that President Bush had some physical attribute which made it okay to call him a chimp.

So ACCORDING TO YOU, both have physical attributes that explain calling them animals. However it's wrong to call Michelle a gorilla because it is racist, but okay to call President Bush a chimp because it is based on IMAGINED physical attributes.
