MICHELLE OBAMA WEARS $2300 DRESS TO GREET POPE
Breitbart ^ | 9/25/15 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 09/24/2015 9:17:00 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Politico reports that First Lady Michelle Obama, looking lovely and classy, greeted Pope Francis Tuesday while wearing a $2,290 dress. While the Obamas are not Catholics, this is still a finger-in-the-eye to a White House guest who frequently speaks out — to wild Democrat applause — about the evils of excessive capitalism.

Both President and Mrs. Obama are disciples of Jeremiah Wright, a racist Jew-hating Chicago-based preacher. Not long after Obama ascended to the presidency, Wright, Obama’s religious mentor for 20 years, retired to a $1 million, 10,400 square foot mansion located next to a country club and golf course.

According to WorldVision, you can feed a child for just $35 a month. Michelle Obama’s dress would feed over 80 children for that month. This choice obviously is contrary to the values of Pope Francis. But the Obamas’ religious values come from elsewhere, a divisive and disturbing place, not a charitable or unifying one.

Other than this quick Politico blurb that doesn’t even take issue with the cost of Mrs. Obama’s dress, nowhere else has this news been reported. Compare this to the media’s 2012 media “firestorm” over Ann Romney’s $990 dress, which she wore on a morning show, not to stand in the shadow of St. Peter.

Oh my! $2300 for that? Looks like if you searched it carefully, you'd find an “irregular” tag on it.

Looking “stylish” is a gift, I guess, but it’s not hard to look tidy and dignified, if you try at all. Michelle Obama often spends (what I consider) a lot of money on her clothes, but they don’t fit her, and the styles usually aren’t flattering.

I go to The Salvation Army on half-off day and find clothes that fit me and make me look nice, although with no pretensions to up-to-date fashion.

“My mom wears 6 thousand dollar outfits to go out to dinner in Palm Desert at Ruth’s Chris. “

WHy? That place is a $12 steak dinner with a $100 price tag. It isn’t where wealthy people eat.

Her clothes always look a size too small.

Barbara Bush was not exactly a perfect 10, but she dressed to suit her figure.

Mrs Obama has not yet learned how to do that.

Honestly, I think that dress looks fantastic on her. I love the color and the cut. That’s me. Barbara always looked good to me because she dressed like a high class grandma. Maybe I am just easy to please. What I dislike is the modern streetwalker look. I do not like those down to the navel necklines or bare back half naked looks. I like classic, modest, and tasteful. The only place I splurge is with color. I am not big on patterns. I prefer solid color clothing, with some exceptions.
