[TVDOC]

Spot the difference?

Snopes "debunked" this picture as photoshopped, butt, only in so far as they were never photographed together.  That still means that Michelle has a big ass, and is married to one too.

I read some where the First Wookie was nominated as the most attractive politician's wife.  This picture causes me to think that whoever chose her was likely blind or had a poor definition of the word attractive.

Sounds like something HuffPo or Time would do.

As my departed father would say......."she's homely enough to make a freight train take a dirt road......"

Hey now, it may be fake.......BUTT accurate.

Umm, the others ARE ladies?

I will admit that the one in blue (apparently the French first lady) looks an awful lot like Rahm Emmanuel in a wig and pumps, but that has more to do with the unmasculine nature of Rahm-bo, and less with any "unfeminine" appearance of the French first lady.

Day-um.  Sarkozy isn't worthy.

My first thought was damn she has gotten fatter since living in the WH

I think what we have here is a simple and easily fixable failure to communicate. :pI simply meant to say that the FLOTUS isn't a lady by my understanding of the definition.  The other two first ladies are, in the manner of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, ladies.

Of course Boudicca, moi, does not consider herself a lady either.  However, unlike the lamentable Mechelle Obama I am not representing my country.  OTOH, since I am proud of my country, were I to BECOME first lady I would try to fake it anyway.

A wookie has more fashion sense than that bitch.

I seem to recall making fun of similar comments aimed at Mrs. Bush...the first and second.

To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much about how Barbara Bush dressed, or presented herself in an official setting, however it would be disingenuous to state that Laura was anything other than classy and dignified, everytime that I saw her in a public appearance.

And there are certain women of prominence, that are (due to age or genetics) unfortunately not gifted with the bodies of Jackie Kennedy........Lady Margaret Thatcher, and Queen Elizabeth come to mind......however, they always present themselves in public with grace and elegance......

Michelle, on the other hand, seems to either be caught up in the "sleeveless" thing (which makes her look like a fullback for the Packers), or tries to appear "Afrocentric" on many occasions, and she just comes off looking foolish (at least to me), in these situations.......

Having an ass like a forty-dollar mule doesn't help......but with the proper wardrobe, she could certainly present herself much better than she does.

I agree.  On the other hand, I've seen her look very pretty in some of her outfits...usually the less-formal ones.  I frequently look at OMG online, so see some of our most beautiful actresses look "like wookies" on the red carpet.

I'm sure we all recall the DUmp threads about the way conservative women look and dress.  For us to diss Mrs. Obama in the same way is...immature.

I hear you there, but to be fair, that inauguration dress and shoes were horrid!  With that being said, I don't give a hoot what any first lady wears.  Like my Grandmother said, it is all about comportment.  I sincerely doubt that our press and citizens would be happy with Bruni being our first lady either.

Judging by the looks of things I might be happy with her as a first lady.

They are renovating the Whitehouse so maybe she is just recycling the curtains.

Her outfit seems really out of place compared to the others.  It seems more like an outfit you would wear to church than to a diplomatic event.

I think I've said it before, but Michelle Obama really doesn't seem to know how to dress for her body type.  A skirt that full is simply not flattering on wide hips.  All that extra fabric makes it seem bigger than it is, and the bow sitting on top her rear just draws the eye right to it. 

A pencil skirt in a dark color with a nicely fitted blouse, and possibly a belt instead of a bow would work much better for her.

I think I've said it before, but Michelle Obama really doesn't seem to know how to dress for her body type.  A skirt that full is simply not flattering on gigantic hips.  All that extra flab makes it seem bigger than it is, and the bow sitting on top her rear just draws the eye right to it. 

A pencil skirt in a dark color with a nicely fitted blouse, and possibly a belt instead of a bow would work much better for her.

Well, you would be correct. With all those vacations, lobsters and ice cream cones the hypocrite has been downing, I'm not surprised she gained weight!

Yeppers, while the peasantry struggles to keep its collective roof over its head and food on its table, the First Grifter Family is enjoying the fruits of their labor and the fat of the land.  Not to mention the two princesses are receiving a world class education while their contemporaries in the DC area go to schools without enough toilet paper and pencils.

No doubt the Democrats, defenders of all the little folk, will be out like  any minute now to put a stop to the abuse.

"(Aug. 18) -- As kids nationwide march grudgingly back to school this fall, public school administrators are preparing for continued budget shortages by refusing to hire additional teachers, holding on to federal dollars instead of spending them and asking parents to send their kids to school with toilet paper in addition to No. 2 pencils. And by some accounts, the worst is yet to come".

Not every woman has fashion sense.

Some are born with it, some learn it, some don't care about it, some think they have it - but they don't, some are smart enough to realize that they don't have it, but will allow someone else to choose their clothes.

Not sure what Michelle's problem is....but she should opt for someone else to not only pick out her clothes, but also to decide what she should wear to each occasion. She could dress considerably better than she does....particularly since not only can she afford to, as First Lady, she NEEDS to dress better and much more appropriately for specific situations than she does.

That is sort of my point.......one of several options is going on with her.......

1.  She dresses that way to impress and connect with the denizens of "da hood"........or

2.  She is misguidedly attempting to tell us that she is one of the "common folks"........or

3.  She (not unlike her husband) has surrounded herself with sycophants that are not going to tell her that "the  empress is naked", figuratively speaking........

As for me, I'm going with a mixture of one and three......as you say, she certainly has the resources and the talent available to her, she just doesn't avail herself of the guidance......probably out of ignorance and arrogance.....
