| Michelle Obama, who turns 49 today, has proven her fashion savvy time and again since she was introduced as first lady in a yellow sheath and coat by Isabel Toledo on Inauguration Day 2009 - so much so that we don´t discuss it nearly as much as we used to. Four years ago, there was a daily barrage in the media: Jason Wu gown! J. Crew gloves! Jimmy Choo shoes! It remained that way for months and even years. There was the Naeem Khan beaded strapless gown for the first state dinner in the Obama White House,

The AP "reporters" - - both male and female - - must have giant muscles from carrying all that water for Zippy & Moochie.
Gunga Din never carried nearly as much.

I have a problem with criticizing her for how she looks. I´m not a ravishing beauty either. But I do dress appropriately and my daughters make sure I don´t embarrass the family in any way. She does not represent the country well in any way.

Rarely does she dress appropriately for her "position." Most of the time her clothes look too small or too "young" for her. When she wears her belts up under her boobs it looks ridiculous. Style icon - definitely not! With substance - maybe so?!

Mrs Obama is a comely woman - she is tall, not overweight. With top fashion designers (and without budget constraints) sewing her gowns to custom fit - she can and does pull off a striking figure (unlike the black widow spider outfit of her own choosing years ago!). So I will not criticize her for these things. What I find appalling is her tone deafness to the economic disasters unfolding all around the country as wrought by her and her husbands´ ideologies, the wanton spending sprees on vacations and evening gowns, travel and parties, so often paid by taxpayers - all the while wagging a finger and telling the populace it is too fat, too greedy and too selfish. That and the fawning media that gets the vapors and faints at her feet as if she has actually EVER accomplished an actual deed above and beyond wife and mother. Something we commoners have done for ages, and a far cry better.

I work for a department store and believe me, you can´t find anything she wears in my store. I never see anyone, no one, imitating her ´style´. It is just so ridiculous. I know what haute couture is and I know ready-to-wear and I have no idea where this ´great style´ comes from. Perhaps from her grandma´s closet circa 1955 and grandma was a hobbit...

All that the pink Tracy Reese dress was missing was the half back shoulder pads.
MO flunks the style icon test. The image that comes to mind is of Mrs. Laura Bush in her feminine skirt suit, contrasted with MO in her too tight, seams nearly splitting pants suit, yapping on her cell phone while walking to the 9/11 memorial service in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago.

Saw MO at a U of Oregon graduation this past summer, and I found her pleasant enough. Surprise! She was doing her part there to keep her brother in a coaching job he was overdue to be fired from. Nevertheless, she isn´t one of us, and doesn´t want to represent the good women of America as much as root and loot and shower herself and him with glory and praise. If there was a boating accident, and they were swallowed by a whale, and never seen again, I might miss the kids.

I have always said that with enough money you could make anyone look good and goodness knows she has spent plenty to look this good..but I was wrong. It´s that greedy heart you can´t mend.
She only cares about the price tag. Wonder how many she actually pays for today.
I looked at some older photos of her today and she has become increasingly lighter in skin tone since 2008.

Born into minor German nobility, they both married into the Russian Royal family. Both were martyred for their Orthodox Christian faith by atheist Communists. Im sure you meant to compare Moochie to some communist hag, not to Tsaritsa Alexandra, a devoted wife and mother to 5 children who also were brutally murdered with their parents. Communist propaganda against the Romanovs has been disproven in post-Communist Russia by its own archives. Seems they lied to the world but warehoused the truth. Truth has been the first casualty of the ØbaMugame regime. Sorry, but you touched a nerve.

What substance?????
The Moochle spends money for fashion and to try and look like a lady but the liberals have always enjoyed the "All flash, no clue" kind of existence.
Her food program is at best a punch line to a very poor joke, with little if any factual basis and her hypocrisy in personal behavior is not an example I would want my kids to follow.
She likes to play at being "First lady" and traveling at great expense on a whim and wasting as much of my money as she can.
So what is her substance ??????????????????????????????????

A religious group spewing what the owners of One Liberty Place call hate speech against women, whites and gays can no longer demonstrate immediately outside the building´s entrance at 16th and Chestnut Streets, a judge ruled today. The owners of One Liberty Place in Center City Philadelphia filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge. The group is frequently seen perched on Center City street corners shouting at passersby through bullhorns. Liberty Place Retail Associates, which owns the building, has asked the state court to bar the group from gathering in front of the entrance

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

TRENTON — President Barack Obama will return to New Jersey on Tuesday to survey Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts with Gov. Chris Christie, according to a statement obtained by The Star-Ledger. The visit will mark Obama´s second trip to the shore since the storm hit about six months ago. “As residents and businesses prepare for a busy summer season, President Obama will visit the Jersey Shore with Governor Christie on Tuesday to view the ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the coastline last fall," the White House statement says.

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal. The only other station to provide any coverage

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Another major political speech, another Code Pink heckling. During President Obama‘s counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. “I’m about to address it, ma’am,” Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. “Why don’t you sit down? But you’ve got to let me speak.” “You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!”

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
