....In a country that demands women adhere to a strict dress code in public (face and hair covered, and long, flowing robes), Obama went with a flowing blue top, black pants and no head covering.....
.....Obama does not make fashion choices lightly, particularly on the world stage. Her fashion choice comes as the late Saudi King Abdullah's legacy on women is considered in light of the ascension of Crown Prince Salman to the throne.
It's also a more social-media-friendly version of political messages delivered overtly by other first ladies.

I think this is the correct answer.
SHE was not raised by Muslims in a Muslim country and did not attended a madrasa. SHE has no connection to that backward cult and I don’t think she would put up with any of it’s BS. Especially if it meant her not being treated as royalty or a deity.
Her husband, on the other hand, I believe is a theological atheist who considers himself a cultural Muslim. He associates the religion with his father, step-father, his childhood and thus himself. He hates Israel, the United States, Great Britain and Christianity.
oh fer Pete’s sake, there were tons of journalists, females wearing just regular stuff around old Meeeeshell. She didn’t do anything special.
Does this burka make my butt look big?
that’s true . in 1 pic you can see a blonde infidel without a head covering.
No such thing. It was her ignorance of the local mores.
However, I like the way Michelle bucked the Saudi system. Good for her!
If this is a bold statement, then Michelle makes bold statements pretty much every time she is photographed coming off of Air Force One in jeans or shorts and a t-shirt.
Those are interesting observations, Livie. Do you think Michelle is a constraint on her husband’s Muslim faith?
“of all the women who probably SHOULD consider wearing a burqua...”
HEY! Show some respect! Not all Community Organizer’s wives can co-pilot the Millennium Falcon.
Scarf, no scarf, why doesn’t Michelle comment about this atrocity?
UN: Islamic State orders female circumcision
As if she was the first to do so. If I remember correctly, we also saw Laura Bush sans head cover in Saudi.
I believe that someone here yesterday on another thread on the same topic posted a picture of Laura Bush in Saudi Arabia with no head covering.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, Im really proud of Michelle.
Of course not. If she had done it, they'd say it was a slap in the face to the S.A. leaders.
blond infidels are the worst lol
She dresses like someone that shops for cloths in a Zimbabwe fruit market.
Those expensive designers must love to see her coming...
‘Hey, bring out all the crap nobody would buy. Sew several together with wild mismatched colors and tell her it looks great on her.’ Cha-ching!
She was pissed because Crazy Uncle Joe was suppose go it alone at first.
The Perpetual Angry Black Woman.
She wore a headscarf when in Indonesia, she wasn't making a bold statement then, so why now?
Pissed at feeling dissed.
Thus is another cyber
abbreviation Created.
PAFD!
