She’s wearing a dress. They are not leggings. She looks good for a change.

No big belt.

[ElayneJ]

I agree. She looks fine and, IMO, very appropriate.

[Allegra]

She looks good for a change.

I agree. I think it's a tasteful outfit.

[sinanju]

Yes, nothing inappropriate here. And yes, maybe she’ll retire the Big Belts that somehow only make her look fat and her tush look huge.

Speaking of Biden, among the juicy tidbits attributed to “Game Change” it seems Obama could not stand Biden from the start, which begs the question why he couldn’t choose someone else for a running mate.

The obvious rejoinder would be that The One is so ignorant he had no idea whom to choose and so did what his Iagos and Grimas told him.

That'a not a dress. It's tucked into the boots.

I disagree that she looks 'appropriate' for a funeral. Maybe she would is she was a charachter on "Desperate Housewives", but not as First Lady, IMHO.

[Frantzie]

I miss the big belt.

[Hildy]

I agree. She looks fine for the occasion. Like you said, she looks better than she usually does.

[freebird5850]

I agree on that and only that.

[T Minus Four]

I agree, she looks very good for a change.

[gramho12]

If Sarah Palin was wearing that outfit, you’d be hearing about her “streetwalker” boot.

[llevrok]

She looks good for a change

I agree. Considering the weather, etc.

[misharu]

Bunny, I agree. She looks very classy.

[jersey117]

I agree. Besides we have waaaay more important things to worry about — like becoming a communist country in 3...2...1....

Agreed.
And I’m a bit freaked out to say that (at least once) The First Lady
did look nice for a public observance.
