Good on her! I don’t care how offended a repressive and regressive muslim gets.
This is the one and only time I think I would ever defend her.

“This is the one and only time I think I would ever defend her.”

Agreed. IIRC, Laura Bush wore a headscarf over there out of respect for their traditions and got pilloried on FR for it. Although I could go either way - perhaps. I might have to look up what the head-scarf means. Is it just to “fit in” (like not wearing a mini-skirt to a State Dinner)? Then perhaps it is okay to wear it. If it somehow means women are second-class - then I would say for sure not to wear one.

Michelle O. going to Saudi Arabia and disregarding Islam’s oppressive customs against women? I am astonished to find myself cheering her on. Bravo to the First Lady!

Michelle has more balls than her husband.

Good for her, she is the first person who has lived in the White House that has ever told the Saudis to go to Hell.

Looks to me to be a photo-shopped picture.

That has to be doctored, right? Would the first Biotch dress like that for the Saudis?
