No, for once, I’m actually on her side.

Personally, I think the only reason that her Muslim husband hasn’t installed a minaret at the WH is that Michelle objects to the idea of having to live like any other piece of Muslim cattle, er, wives.

So I think she was right this time. Many foreign women do not wear head coverings at Saudi events, btw, and I think the only reason they blurred her face on TV is that her husband is a Muslim.

While you taking her side may be right, and credit may be due Michelle Obama in this case, your post did not address SoFloFreeper's point, which is a good one. People can't have it both ways. You can't embrace diversity while at the same time pick and choose which diverse aspect of a foreign culture you approve of. Either you judge, or you don't. Michelle does “got hypocrisy,” like it or not.

Those are interesting observations, Livie. Do you think Michelle is a constraint on her husband’s Muslim faith?

I pretty much agree with you. That horrific outfit they decked Mooch out in for her visit to the Indonesian mosque was beyond the pale of dissing on a First Lady. Just because I can’t stand the woman doesn’t mean I want to see the First Lady of the United States paraded around in a bunch of Muslim scenarios like some Dhimmi slave.

I would respect her more if she came out in public and said just that!
