32. The point is not the look, but the ability to burn that much money so their friends know it.

107. Ugly is an understatement. It's hideous! I wouldn't pay fifty cents for that
criminal "fashion statement". I can't believe she paid almost $1,000 for it. What a sucker!!
Just goes to prove that you can have all the money in the world and still be stupid and have absolutely no taste.

7. Clueless..
Utterly clueless..
Marie Antoinette level clueless.
Michelle Obama and Jill Biden spent their 100th day in Washington bagging food for hungry children at the Capital Area Food Bank. Read more about their visit here.
<snip>
UPDATE: The first lady's kicks are Lanvin cap toe sneakers, as ID'd by websites TalkingShopping.com and First Lady Of Style and the NY Daily News, and range between $540 and $565 at Barneys.com
A classic example, as spotted by the blog Naked DC, was the seemingly simple sundress she chose for a church service at the Kaneohe Bay Marine Base on Christmas Day.
The white frock with red and yellow stripes was certainly pretty and occasion-appropriate, but cheap, it most certainly was not.
A design by French-born, U.S.-based designer Sophie Theallet, who is a favourite with fashion insiders, it would have set Mrs Obama back almost $2,000 when she bought it in 2009.
Though the low-key event was just a meet-and-greet with service members and their families in a nearby mess hall, Mrs Obama chose to dress up in a Comme des Garcons skirt. And they don't come cheap - a similar one might cost around $950.

109. Fail.
Nice try. Michelle Obama doesn't walk around wearing $1,000 t-shirts. If she did, we would have heard about it, and we would never hear the end of it. Michelle Obama has been complimented for the cheap price tags of much of her clothing. Ann Romney wearing a $1,000 t-shirt, is yet more proof of how out of touch her, and robot Willard are. They don't get it.
:lmao:The wookieyeti has trouble finding clothes in her size, bigfoot.

The Wookie sneaks out of the White House to do all her shopping at Target.
Some photographers accidentally discovered her there, picking up school clothes for little Shemalia and Mashalia.
All her good stuff comes from Kohl's online.

125. Savior? If anything she'll help tank his campaign
Everytime she speaks she reminds everyone that she is a woman of wealth and has no clue how to related us common folks.
If Michelle Obama was going to wear a t-shirt for an interview she'd find some $30 Silk T-shirt from Talbots

9. Totally Out of Touch
Just a variation of "let them eat cake," or, "I got mine, f - - - you."
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, complained the government’s $600 economic stimulus check was only enough to buy “a pair of earrings†while stumping for her husband.
“You're getting $600 - what can you do with that?†Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan last week. “Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."
Unreal.
Last month at the Kids’ Choice Awards, Michelle Obama wore an outfit designed by New York-based, uber-expensive designer, Wes Gordon. His clothing commands prices in the thousands of dollars and can only be found in the elite stores of the super wealthy. If you enjoy spending more than $4,000 on a pair of shorts…yes that is three zeroes after the comma…then you might like this little jacket from one of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers. It’s a steal for only $2,250. Of course, we never heard one peep out of the Liberal mainstream media on Michelle Obama’s high-priced clothing.
But, that all changed now that Mitt Romney has become the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
Suddenly, the media is very interested in Ann Romney’s choice of pricey clothes…
The fashion house that makes the nearly $1,000 blouse worn by Ann Romney on morning television earlier this week tells ABC News that they had nothing to do with the wardrobe choice, remarking that they’d prefer to stay out of politics.
“We had nothing to do with it,†a rep for designer Reed Krakoff said. “She must have bought it from Saks or Bergdorf’s, we definitely didn’t send it to her.â€
“It’s 100 percent a Reed Krakoff shirt, but we 100 percent didn’t send it to her,†the rep added. “We don’t get involved politically.â€
The shirt, an item in the label’s 2012 Spring/Summer collection, retails for $990, and for those shopping, is called the “The Reed Audubon Silk Shirt.â€
The price of the shirt was first reported by the style blog Stylite.com.
Mrs. Romney does not have a stylist, according to an aide with the Romney campaign, and is likely to have purchased the shirt on her own.
A spokeswoman for the Romney campaign declined to comment on Mrs. Romney’s fashion choices.
This isn’t the first time that Mrs. Romney has been tweaked on her fashion choices.
In March, a little girl on the ropeline at a campaign event in Illinois asked Mrs. Romney if her watch was “real.â€
Since the MSM has developed a new interest in high-end clothing, here’s a glimpse of Michelle Obama’s expensive, designer wardrobe worn during her $4M tax payer-funded jaunt to Hawaii last December.
With the RONCO rinestone and stud setter you to can turn a $3 T-shirt in a $900 work of art that even the first lady would be proud to wear.
...I guess I see their point though, $900 for a shirt with a giant fish face seems excessive – butt you know how those out-of-touch rich white people, spending their own money, are.
At least Ann got two sleeves for her $900. At twice the price, Lady M’s one shouldered Jean Paul Gaultier doesn’t seem to be good value. Then again, it didn’t cost her anything.
The first closet has increasingly become a subject of interest since Michelle Obama swept fashionably into the White House in her Jason Wu ball gown.
Yesterday, Ann Romney’s clothes stole the spotlight as she wore a fashionable top on Tuesday for an appearance with her husband on CBS “This Morning.†Politico reported that the Reed Krakoff shirt would “cost you a pretty penny,†at $990.
But Mrs. Romney will need to step up her fashion game if she wants to fill the shoes of Mrs. Obama.
In March, the first lady visited her British counterpart Samantha Cameron wearing a L’Wren Scott sweater in a trendy bright yellow hue. The embellished cardigan costs $2,720.
Obama, widely regarded as a fashion icon, likes the brand so much that she wore a peach cardigan from the same line last week during the Take Your Child to Work Day festivities.
The next day, she wore another sweater from L’Wren Scott, this one white with red trim from the Spring 2011 ready to wear collection, for a visit to Fort Stewart with the president.
She has been a fan of the brand’s cardigans since at least 2010, when she wore this black and white number to a childhood obesity event.
The first lady’s favorite embellished cardigans from L’Wren Scott range from $2,095 to $3,320. Plain cashmere-blend cardigans from the brand start at $910

I don't like her as much as you but she isn't UGLY. Akward and amazonish yes, ugly no.
And they still look like $35 Converse that someone took a can of Krylon to.In grade school, girls used to personalize their own shoes their own selves with markers or something.d
Now this is a lovely outfit Michelle Obama was dressed in:

:lmao:
I wouldn't call her very photogenic, either. Once in a great while she looks decent, but the ugly pictures are more numerous. It's that bitter scowl she wears so often that makes her ugly, imo.She kinda has that Aunt Esther thing going on

It amuses me how they think the 0bamas are not out of touch, yet they are living it up and partying like it was 1999 constantly. Marie Antoinette said, "Let them eat cake", Michelle 0bama said, "Make them eat broccoli, pass me the french fries".
Or arugula.
I notice EVERYTHING.
Ever notice that older Asians seem to have trouble matching their clothes? Could Michelle have a little Asian in her? :-)
It's definitely possible but I'd bet if she jumped up and down vigorously he'd fall out.
HA!

Snort! I set that put perfectly. :-)A good "straight man", or in this case woman is worth her weight.
Biden gave $369I'm proud to report that I gave far than Biden, not even including underwear.
