I AM DISGUSTED. I just can’t imagine any past First Lady emerging from Air Force One dressed like this. These people have absolutely no respect for their position, nor do they have any respect for the US and all it stands for. Our stock, as a country, drops even lower in the eyes of the world because of stunts like this.

They look appropriate for location, season and travel.

I think that the low profile for the First Lady has softened much of the criticism of her here. Obviously something has happened re the press in my opinion. They made themselves look rather ridiculous in their first almost worship of her.

Though scared of her idealogy and previous statements, I feel she is doing well by being herself. Her entourage does disturb though and it's expenditure. Still, she has a right to enjoy her wonderful country- like anyone else. Hope she appreciates it.

SEE? Time Magazine is willing criticize Obama*!!! And to think that you doubted our objectivity!

*Just Michelle. Of course we would never criticize our beloved Barack. Never never never. Besides, he looks DREAMY in shorts!

Big f'ing deal.

I'm tired of people turning over every rock trying to impune the family members when Barack Obama and his policies are the issue.

Is she built like a linebacker? Yes. Big deal. She's travelling during the summer in Arizona. I'd wear shorts too.

I don't care what she wears. I don't care that she has a few more staffers than Laura Bush did. I don't care if she plants a garden at the White House or has a swingset built for her kids. She's a side show. A distraction. She's also NOT the issue.

Exactly.

She looks very rumpled (no pun intended). She looks like I do when I travel. Well, actually that isn’t true. I look a little better put together.

So why the heck couldn’t she have changed out of the “hey I’m just one of you ordinary people” clothes on Air Force 1 into some “hey, I’m the First Lady of the US clothes?” She could have still looked classy in casual.

The whole hoopla about what a fashion statement she is escapes me any way.

Tacky, tacky! Not becoming at all for a woman in her position. She is either getting bad advice, or just thumbing her nose at the 26 attendants and going “vogue rogue”!

I understand, but we are more than capable of multi-tasking.

Either we are seeing a paradigm shift in how America is presented to the world or we are seeing the last Black president for many, many generations.

I completely agree.

I have dressed more nicely for days in the backcountry, and emerged not looking as bad as she did, after being waited on in her airplane. Most tourists dress pretty nicely/conservatively in the parks (I worked in them), nothing so trashy. And of course, none of them is the “first lady.”

I’m ashamed for our country whenever she emerges. Where is the respect for the office. Clothes and decorum do matter.
