And now we know why Michelle dresses like in too tight clothing, with wrinkled, mis-matched, getto-fabulous outfits mostly. And also why the Obamas are so lousy at gift-giving and ptotocal with dignataries. Their staff is from Chicago she said and better could have said "the hood" and has no idea of, or training, or experience with protocol, diplomacy, dignity, appropriate clothing, etiquette, etc. for a head of state. But, for a party in a firehall somewhere of community organizers they might do okay.
"After Barack Obama was elected to the Senate, people asked Michelle if she'd be moving to Washington. "I was like, no," she says. "All my support is the support you build up over the years. It is my mom, girlfriends you move away from everything." But when he won the White House, Michelle effectively moved her support system with her, not just her mother but old friends who are scattered throughout both the East and West wings.
