But she's worth every penny -- such style, such fashion sense, such beauty! Could there possibly be a greater fashion statement than that ... well, whatever the hell that is she's wearing?
All the little frillies would look good on an eight year-old's party dress, but look just plain stupid on an adult (at least in chronological terms; mental and emotional states are another matter entirely, just as with her hubby).
I understand that the drones are pissed about the Obama-as-Joker posters that are beginning to pop up everywhere ("mean-spirited," etc.) -- soon the entire country will be plastered with them, one hopes, and the the new SA will be assigned the task of tearing them off the walls wherever they are found. But the truth will be out, and the joke will be on the Messiah, who's looking less and less messianic, and more and more merely mortal, day by day . . .

Maybe Michell could hire that upset woman who is suing her college Affirmative action for white folks?

If Laura Bush had an entourage like that, Keith Olberqueer would have included her as WORST.
Even so, to be accurate, First Lady Laura Bush, had 6 dedicated to her, not just 1. From 2004:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/administration/whbriefing/2004stafflistb.html
6 of the Whitehouse Staff were exclusively assigned to her.
22 is way more than 6. MOBAMA seems to have her staff padded with alot of assistants to assistants and such. I wonder if those count as "jobs created" under the Stimupork bill?

Sorry but I just get this 'Shopping Cart Lady' look.

I don't get the stupid cardigan sweaters. The frumpiest, dumpiest article of clothing ever.

Anyone think she'd be willing to spread that wealth around?

I did a few calculations (including some estimations for those without salaries listed). We are paying over 1.6 Million for those people to pamper the FLOTUS. She looks like a piñata with that outfit.

KT, those are only the KNOWN people in her staff. Remember, each one of these people probably has a team of libtards below them, learning the corrupt way of Chicago thuggery.
I have a feeling the bill for her staff far exceeds that of $1.6m.

The agent on the left looks like he's suppressing a laugh!

The fact that the stupid communists have been comparing her to jackie is absolutely sickening.
Laura had more class left on her hairbrush at night than the heffer that's in the white house now. I hate to admit it but EVEN Hillary dresses better than that louse.
She looks like a over the hill soccer mom desperately trying to upstage her daughters classmates.

She's a prime example of why burqa's are required dress. She needs one...badly.

wow it must suck to be you, being so full of hate. It's kinda funny watching you guys throw tantrums though.

Did you not know that the empress has new clothes? Oh yeah, from the thrift store. Which would be fine if the Obama's where at all thrifty or even had a clue as to what thrift means.
Hell, that outfit is worse than that black widow thing she wore for the inauguration. I usually stay away from fashion statements, but Lord forgive me, this one I just couldn't resist. It is just too easy, the jokes write themselves.
This must be the new line for the new class of jet setters.
Her girls must of had someone else teach them to dress themselves.
It's called the Mobama Line. The official designers for ACORN.
The laughs don't stop there. What about poor hubbies birthday party.....
"Bill Spoils Fearless Leaders Party"
It was a bittersweet birthday for our fearless leader as our former president Bill Clinton flew to ....North Korea.... on a mission of mercy to free two young American women. Fearless leader wanted to send his buddy Bill Richardson bur Kim Jong-il would have no part of that.
It is one of those things that make you go hmmmm. I guess ....Clinton.... is a bigger rock star then Obama in that part of the world. Or perhaps Kim just misses the good old nineties and just wanted to meet the guy who used to send him hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, food, oil and even a nuclear reactor. Hell, Bill even sent that stalwart emissary of ours Jimmy Carter to broker the deal. I reckon that Kim felt that he had to thank ....Clinton.... personally while he still can, after all Kim is ill. As our politicians put it “you can’t let a good crisis go to waste”. ....
.. ..
Too bad for fearless leader that Kim happened to choose his birthday for the event because there was real news to over shadow the b-day festivities and what his wife gave him. I imagine Kim read Sun-Tzu.....
.. ..
Well, better luck next year President Obama. Just think of this as a teachable moment and know that I pray for you and for the protection of the freedom of the ....United States of America.........
.. ..
Jesus is right for everything that is wrong in this life,....
