She looks like my granny.

Well she was almost of "granny age" when they married.

Actually, the marriage of Bess and Harry Truman was a very touching love story.

He wooed her for about twenty years, and worked hard to have something to offer her as a man.

They married relatively late in life.

Read David McCullough's biography Truman and you will be surprised at their love affair.

[happygrl]

What HAPPENED to her?

Forty years of putting up with Bill.

Re: Harry and Mrs. Truman: there’s a great story in Harry Truman’s biography about how he had to leave town alone (as President) for several weeks; when he came back, he and the Missus broke the bed getting “reacquainted” LOL.

Mrs. Truman was very embarassed when she reported the damaged furniture to the White House staff. :0)

I remember that story, as well, from David McCullough's biography of Truman.

They had a real love story.

She won’t wear a classic suit and behave like a lady (like real First Ladies) because she would become a reflection of normal America. In doing so she would become a symbol of that which she hates. And those righteous Obamas take the high road of course, desiring to be true to themselves. Hence the thugwear.

Thank you.

That is the best explanation for her in-your-face wardrobe that I have read.

[Tax-chick]

As with so many attempts at humor these days, the picture is so close to reality that we’re easily taken in.

[Vor Lady]

Thanks for the fashionista ping.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Seriously, she looks like a cross between Oprah and Patrick Ewing.

[vrwc54]

Thanks for the ping. Correct outfit for the school?

[Neverforget01]

Thanks for the ping!

Sexy?:

Sorry, I am NOT buying it!

[peace with honor]

NO FUC*ING WAY, GAG ME AND THEN KILL ME

I'm assuming that the first image is a wedding photo ... she's definitely of "middle age" there. My grandmother had a tight smile and sparkling eyes, much like Mrs. Truman in that second image.

My stack o' books to read is already huge, but I'll take your recommendation of Truman under advisement.

[Swede Girl]

OMG - kids do notice this!! They were paying more attention to her underpants than the book she was reading, trust me!

Michelle needs to go to CHARM SCHOOL to learn how to dress, sit, walk, and behave.

What a disaster.

[happygrl]

Kudos to Michelle for keeping her knees together!

[brwnsuga]

I’d send her an email about it, but I don’t want the Secret Service on my front porch.

[Deb]

I don’t remember seeing a first lady’s naked shoulder before. Take that back...Mamie Eisenhower.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sexy in an Aunt Esther (only with a bigger butt) sort of way.

[Deb]

The best thing about McCain was Cindy. She's gorgeous, flies her own plane, races cars, travels the World for charities she created and how was she reported on?

(crickets)

[trisham]

LOL!

One of many reasons I don't mind piling on in these threads.
